Figuring it all out one day at a time
I received a message last night that this blog had sent out upwards of 400 emails to everyone who subscribes to this blog via email. First, let me offer my sincerest apologies for blanketing your inbox with what must have seemed like a spam attack from Uranus. Even Wesleyan pastors make mistakes.
Secondly, I want to explain why this happened and [Read more…] about Even Wesleyan Pastors Make Mistakes
As you may or may not know, I participated in the 2012 Wesleyan General Conference in Lexington, KY as part of the Techology Show. We oversaw a chat room during all the rallies and business sessions, hosted a round table discussion after each session, conducted interviews with leaders, speakers, and authors, and live streamed the pre-conference events. This was my first time attending a Wesleyan General Conference and I’ve spoken before about changes I’d like to see in our denomination. There were a few things that surprised me. These are in no particular order.
10. Non-delegates could purchase Delegate packets for $20. Everything they had was available for all to see. This only magnified the unofficial theme of “Transparency.” This made it easy for guests to follow along with all the business proceedings.
9. I had no idea I would be sitting next to and chatting with the next Wesleyan HQ chief of staff all week in David Drury.
8. I underestimated Dr. Keith Drury’s knowledge and insight of Wesleyan Church policies, politics, and personalities. Shame on me because the guy literally co-wrote the book on it.
7. I needed a 15 minute break [Read more…] about 10 Surprises at Wesleyan General Conference 2012
I am so excited to be a part of The Techology Show’s presence at the 2012 Wesleyan General Conference. Matthew Tietje and I will be driving up on Friday and during the week I’ll be joined by David Drury, Stevan Sheets(who blogged about his GC adventure here), Dr. Keith Drury, Tony Casey and others for round tables and interviews. Our goal is to bring the sights, sounds, and Spirit of the Conference straight into your home. How about some GC viewing parties?! Many have asked how it’s going to work and I’m pleased to present this 7 minute video with all of the details:

With the NFL playoffs approaching, I thought I would share this interview we did during the NFL lockout with Zac Woodfin, assistant strength coach for the Green Bay Packers. From May 4, 2011.
As most of you know, I co-host the Techology Show every Wednesday morning. Today, we had the privilege of interviewing Pastor Mark Batterson about his latest book, The Circle Maker. It was a great time of sharing and speaking with one of my heroes. If you want to win a copy of the book then @mention @techology before January 11, 2012. The drawing will be held January 12, 2012 on a special edition of the show when we interview another great author, Kem Meyer.
It’s been a great blessing to be a part of the Good Morning Show on 760 AM in Nashville, TN. David Gould and Rachael Sain are the co-hosts and I have known David through the Wesleyan Church for some time. He’s a frequent viewer of The Techology Show and from that “Tech Talk Tuesday” came about. On December 28, 2011 we talked about how church’s can use technology in the coming year. There are lots of challenges rural churches face in the use of technology. I’m a rural pastor who believes technology is a gift to reach the world. Here are a few things we talked about this week:
