Podcast Description
Some people are hard to reach in today’s world, including those who desperately need to hear your church’s message. But they often ARE accessible by social media and other internet tools. Let’s face it, most churches and ministries are hopelessly behind when it comes to adopting technology to do their work. The internet has evolved beyond static web pages and email, but many churches aren’t even this far along yet! Even when they recognize the need to do more, how many churches have the funds, staff, or time to commit to anything more than a token internet presence? But there is hope! Christianity has the answers and you have the message to spread. But even beyond this, internet tools are becoming ever easier to use. Even the most technically-naive person can now create their own attractive, effective web site and regularly post content. Social media tools are easily accessible to any church or online ministry willing to learn how to use them effectively. Join me as I demystify internet tools such as social media (including Facebook and Twitter), podcasting, blogging and even web site creation for churches. Let me make it practical for you by showing you how easy and inexpensive it can be. Learn how your church or ministry can effectively use the internet to better reach people and even improve communication among your own members. My mission is to help your church or online ministry fulfill its mission.

Lower the Barrier for Visitors
This podcast challenges some common conceptions about churches reaching out. It makes some good points concerning weaknesses of traditional approaches which make them not so effective in today's wired world. But it doesn't just criticize, it gives some thought provoking solutions and new approaches as well. It's very much worthwhile checking out. I'm looking forward to more episodes!
