it begins

This has been a  mentally exhausting week.  It makes me question the fact that I registered for classes over the summer today (after 1.5 years off from school).  

This nomorechristians teaching series is provoking a lot of questions.  This week....

• I have had four deep conversations about the existence of God, validity of the Bible, and other religions in addition to a group discussion on atheism last night.  
• I have had two e-mails wanting an explanation of this upcoming series.
  
• I have been called blasphemous twice (one joking, one serious)
• Adam Duckworth and I have been referred to as geniuses and idiots
• I have scheduled three meetings; one with an atheist, one with former atheist, and one with an agnostic.

and we haven't even promoted this thing yet.

I don't want to be the guy who only blogs about what the church is doing, but I am so excited about what God is going to do with this series!

We are exactly 30 days away from the most exciting teaching series to hit mosaic crestview so far.  

This is the commercial we will be running during the month of April.

four blogs that annoy me (part 2 of 4)

the advertisement blog disguised as a regular blog

If your blog is for the purpose of promoting your church, your business, or whatever and you are upfront about that  - ABSOLUTELY COOL and also a very effective marketing tool!  

For an example of someone who does that effectively check out http://ellementstudios.wordpress.com

But if you are one of these people who uses their "regular" blog to continually promote their books, modeling career, speaking schedule, new business, or whatever..... please be up front about why you are blogging.  You have an agenda to promote - it is cool! Just don't be so shady about trying to accomplish that promotion.
