So I haven’t posted anything since last week. My server was hacked last Friday and I have just got it back up again. I am now with a new host (hostmonster.com) and have left my old one (siteground.com) whose tech support used to be really great and now is nonexistent. I’ll have more updates this [...]

Watchmen Movie
I don’t often post on trivial stuff that I just think is cool, but I have to make an exception from time to time. I have been seeing a lot of stuff about the Watchmen movie and was mildly interested. I haven’t read the comic, so I don’t have a lot of investment like some [...]
Design and the Message
I had a really interesting talk with my buddy Chris Zoephel yesterday about a book he is reading. The book is called The Forgotten Ways by Alan Hirsch. In this book, Hirsch says that the medium eventually becomes the message. This is similar to a thought I have carried in ministry that says “what you [...]

Marketing to Youth Pastors
One highlight from the Youth Specialties convention was the very present marketing to youth pastors. It seems that the marketing directed for said group assumes that they are ADD, ADHD, somewhat immature and possibly stuck in the 90’s or 80’s. I would love to submit examples, but they are just too prevalent and I could [...]
Is Church Marketing Useless?
I just read an interesting article by Tony Morgan that had me wondering about the question posed in the title of this post. Is marketing useless for the church? Tony sure thinks so (even though he confesses that they still use it sometimes).
I do agree with Tony that church marketing on one hand is not [...]
Martin Says, Barna Needs A Wake Up Call
You gotta love a guy who has gathered statistics for the church for so many years that he starts writing articles about himself on his own website promoting an agenda based on no statistics with a book to solve all the problems arising from that agenda. Barna’s latest exploit is a Wake Up Call To [...]
Like A Fire – Media is Born
So today, after setting up many websites and helping many people and churches with branding, I have started organizing how that happens. I finished my first client under the Like A Fire Media brand. The client is an awesome photographer here in the Birmingham area named Jason Wallis. He really has a gift when it [...]
