Tools That Help Me Manage WordPress
WordPress is a great tool for developing websites. I manage several websites for local businesses, organizations, and churches, so I am always looking for ways to simplify and streamline how I manage the sites. Here are a few of the tools I use to make my life easier. InfiniteWP InfiniteWP allows you to manage all your self-hosted WordPress sites from

This New Video Camera is Simply Awesome
Drone maker DJI has introduced a new 4k Osmo handheld video camera that you need to see. This could be used for church videos and home videos, and it’s under $700. I’m really impressed with this. Check out the video and see why. [amazon_link asins=’B01LPGHI4S,B01KO568QA’ template=’ProductGrid’ store=’faithe-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ef0aacf8-2e8d-11e7-98c2-d5516ec34e08′]

Leadership Traits Needed by Our Nation’s Leaders
I’m already sick of the constant bickering by political candidates. We have a desperate need for strong leadership in our world today. So what does that type of leadership look like? What characteristics and traits should we be looking for in our leaders? Unfortunately, I feel that many people in our country are looking at the wrong qualities for our leaders.

The Problem With How We Teach Missions
I recently read an article that just reinforces my belief that most churches are missing the mark when it comes to how we educate students about mission work. Here’s the quote that caught my attention “Quit entertaining your children and your young people. Drive them to study God’s Word. Expose them to the field for the depth of understanding that will

The New AppleTV
I’m excited about the new AppleTV. We use one at home frequently, and we also use a couple of them at church for our Small Group Ministry. It is incredibly easy to stream videos from your iPhone or iPad to an AppleTV. We also use RightNowMedia at church for many of our Small Groups, so the AppleTV works great with the

How Not to Make Disciples
I love this video by Francis Chan. It really makes you think about how your church is structured to make disciples.

Need a Mobile App? Check out FaithLink Apps
Almost three years ago, I shared how to create an app for your church. Our church uses the mobile app service como.com (note: affiliate link). With Como, you are provided with a CMS and set free to figure out how to set it up. It is a bit time consuming to figure out (especially for a church that isn’t tech savvy), and the church

Plugin Review: GroupsEngine
I have previously reviewed the WordPress plugin PrayerEngine and SeriesEngine here on the site. GroupsEngine is from the same developers. This is a great solution for any church wanting to share their available small groups on their WordPress-based website. At Cornerstone, we use ChurchTeams to do this, but Churchteams is a full-blown church management system. GroupsEngine is much cheaper, costing a

App Review: Zoommy
There are several free stock photo sites available now, but I’ve always had trouble keeping track of all the different sites. I ran across the Zoommy app for Windows and Mac computers, and it is a great bargain at $3.99. It lets you search and sort through hundreds of photos that are available for free use. If you need photos

This is a Powerful Argument Against Abortion
Whatever political viewpoint you hold, I urge you to watch this video. This is from an older Matt Chandler sermon, but it has been shared widely the last few weeks. He shares a powerful argument against the epic tragedy of abortion. With the Planned Parenthood videos being talked about on the media, I think it is helpful for us to look at the
