@ElgazzarBLVD @Enquirer Have loved following your incredible work, Kareem. Well done 👊

@ZachWMassey It certainly did. Rethinking Communication for churches wasn’t a priority for many until it HAD to be. Hope the book is helpful to you! Reach out anytime if it sparks questions.

@philbowdle Cool. I figured that change in 2020 that made every church try to livestream made this information even more important.

@philbowdle greetings. I was handed your book yesterday to start working through. Looking forward to it. I was wandering, seeing how your book seems to focus on how communication has changed, if you were planning an update revolving around the post Covid church?

@ZachWMassey Honestly, I don’t think the church is dramatically different in 2019. I think COVID put in a microwave what had been in a slow cooker for a lot of years, and quickly revealed the reality of where things were.

I saw the copyright was 2019. Do you feel like the church today is the same as it was in 2019 or is it different? Maybe the change just continued at a faster pace. Just a random, after 10:00 pm thought. Cheers

@wesgay @thesamparr Just discovered this recently as well. So well done 🔥

Started listening to the Hitler podcast after I saw @thesamparr recommend it Production quality is incredible The main character is, as expected, awful If you like history and are tired of business shows, give this one a whirl podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ado…

What do they got? A big team, lots of money, a strong brand, seemingly unlimited resources, panache, reputation, all that. They’re established. They’re your competitors. You want to look away, but you see them everywhere. Their ads on your social, their name in the media, your dream clients on their website. But you know what else they got? Bigger company bloat. Overflowing obligations. Narratives to uphold. Appearances to maintain. Entitlement. Too much overhead. They’re slow. They’re conservative. They talk too much. They’ve stopped taking risks. They’re resting on their laurels, gliding on their reputation. They’re on defense. What they’ve really got is a lot to lose. What do you got? Hunger. Drive. Grit. Scrappiness. Independence. You’re on offense. You don’t have enough, which is why you’re dangerous. You have no choice but to be clever and creative. To make up for what you don’t have with something they can’t have: The underdog spirit. You can move. You can adjust. You can adapt. You can get it done while they’re still stuck deciding what to do. Small is not a stepping stone. Small is not less than. It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than. Savor your position. You don’t get to be the underdog forever. The baton will be passed. But for now, it’s your magic wand. Use it. We stand with the underdogs.

@FishhookHQ 👏🏼well said!

Love being a part of this conference! Creatives - get this on your calendar.

FLEE from toxicity. Toxic cultures are where unhealthy and toxic behaviors are not only tolerated but celebrated. If you find yourself in a toxic culture, step out and seek a team that aligns with your values and principles.

WORK on disfunction. Let’s be honest… every team is a different flavor of disfunction. There’s no perfect teams or cultures out there. Healthy team culture is one that identifies these dysfunctions and makes a concerted effort to fix them.

In my work with ministry teams and team cultures, I've come to recognize three essential truths - both positive and negative - that have significant implications: 1. FIGHT for healthiness. 2. WORK on disfunction. 3. FLEE from toxicity.

Asbury Outpouring tonight. Just simple devotion to Jesus. Purest thing I've witnessed in a long time. Zero hype, confession, testimonies, reading of scripture and worship.

Who are you following and learning from on twitter right now? Here are a few of mine: @wesgay | @SallieGuillory | @aussiedave | @BradyShearer | @JamesClear Your turn.

The gift of encouragement is free, life-giving, and underutilized. Leaders, make sure that your team isn’t only hearing from you when something went wrong.

In the 62-page work book that comes with my BUILDING A DIGITAL MINISTRY Masterclass, I recommend extra resources to help you, including content from: @nonanotnora, @cnieuwhof, @philbowdle, @katiejallred, @kennyjahng and @ChurchTechToday #MetaChurchMasterclass #MetaChurchBook

Espresso drinkers: what’s your favorite espresso blend for making it at home?

@wesgay Agree 100%. Smart agencies are built around strategy, then figure out how to make it happen through a mix of staff, contractors, freelancers, etc.

The more I talk to agency owners, the more I think the future of marketing agencies is strategy, not deliverables In other words, more agencies will focus on helping brands make decisions
