The second half of day two included breakout sessions (I attended one by the Lifechurch.tv guys on leveraging new technology), and Tim Stevens. Here are a few of the notes I took:
Session Three, Breakout session, (Lifechurch.tv Directional Leadership team):
- Video production at Lifechurch.tv; as a general rule, if a video is going to take more than 2-3 days from concept to finished product, then it's probably not worth doing.
- Their team is working on a new web app called ChurchMetrics.com. It gives church leaders the ability to track trends within the church. And here's something else cool: it's FREE! Thanks Lifechurch.tv!
Session Four, Pop Goes the Church (Tim Stevens, Executive Pastor, Granger Community Church):
- Reality #1 – Most churches are not impacting their communities.
- Reality #2 – Spiritual interest of people is increasing in America.
- Paul leveraged culture so he could tell people about Jesus. If we don’t do that…we risk being irrelevant.
Why use pop culture in church?
- to package a topic and attract a crowd
- to get people thinking or laughing
- to provide a new interpretation for a pop culture element
- to honor the people who are serving….people who are making ministry happen.
