Most churches are missing out on a simple and free tool that can help them grow their church as they connect people with each other and with God. Join me for a week-long FREE online workshop hosted on Facebook to help you launch (or relaunch) a successful Facebook Group for your church. We’ll be starting the week of February 22nd

If you are like most church leaders I know, you are exhausted from trying to establish an online ministry. I’ve talked to many pastors and leaders who are discouraged and frustrated, not knowing where to even begin. For over a decade, I’ve been helping churches develop online ministries to reach their communities, and I want to do something to help

I’m excited to announce the launch of a new project. I have a passion for helping other churches, and I’ve been crazy busy the past six months helping churches navigate the new world online ministry. I want to help more churches, but I am limited in my time. So I am launching a new website focused on helping smaller and

Over the last six months, many pastors and church leaders were forced to learn how to do livestreaming, video recording, and video editing. For many, this has been a difficult time of learning. While iMovie and Windows Movie Maker are fine to get you started with home videos, you will quickly discover that they both lack many crucial features that

However, I’ve noticed there is a huge difference in the quality of videos online. When I watch

I’ve been wanting to spend some time with the latest release from Churchthemes and I finally got the chance. After installing the Saved theme on a test site and playing around with it, I’m really impressed. Lately, I’ve setup several other church themes on WordPress, including several from Themeforest, and I’ve found myself missing the simplicity and consistency that Churchthemes

One of the most popular posts on this blog was one I shared ten years ago about podcasting for churches. Since that time much has changed, and yet I still receive questions on a regular basis about how to create a podcast for sermon audio. I wanted to share the basics of how you can start sharing your sermon audio

This looks promising. Sermonary is a new online tool to create, arrange, and present your sermons. I have been using XMind, a mind-mapping tool for several years, but I plan on trying this out.   I already backed this on Kickstarter, and there aren’t a lot of spots left to get early access.  I like that it is an online

A growing problem in many families is learning how to monitor your children’s usage of mobile devices. Between cell phones, tablets, laptops, and gaming systems, it seems like our children are constantly being tempted to spend more and more time online.
