Hey! I’m on a Podcast! And in a Book! And I led a workshop! Whoa!

So, I’ve been kind of busy.  A few of things:

1) I’m in a podcast! So, the super-awesome guys over at the Nick and Josh Podcast (an emergent church-ish blog run by two awesome dudes) interviewed me this past week. (Crazy.  I know.)  They wanted to know a bit about (1) my Obama Campaign Experience, (2) my work with Social Media and (3) the Church is ALIVE Project. They asked really nicely, so I told ‘em. 

If you’re curious about any of those things (or just want to hear my soothing voice) just click the play button below and give it a listen!  (Be Warned: I’m a fast talker.)

2) I’m in a book! A few months ago I was asked by the fabulous Becky Garrison to write a short piece for a book entitled Starting From Zero with $0: Building Mission-Shaped Ministries on a Shoestring.  Becky was the author, and the contributors were an all-star cast of generally awesome church folks.  Somehow they let me slip in, and I got to write  a little bit of the technology section.  Specifically, I wrote about social media, and how it’s a lot cheaper for churches to use it than you think…

If you want to know MORE about the book, however, you should buy it – because it’s published now!  It’s out-of-stock at Amazon at the moment, but Church Publishing still has ‘em ready to buy, hot off the presses.  Stop by and pick one up!

Go ahead. Click it. Buy it. You KNOW you want to...

3) I led a workshop! This past weekend, I was blessed with the chance to attend and lead a workshop at the Episcopal Village Conference in Baltimore, MA.  I, of course, am not Episcopal (Presbyterian for life – recognize!), but they seemed to be the forgiving sort and let me stick around anyway.  My workshop was on – you guessed it – “Social Media and Christian Community.”  I was lucky to have two great groups participate (it was delivered in two sessions) and the slideshow below was my actual presentation.  If you want more info, I can pass along my hand-out sheets as well.  Enjoy!  (NOTE: Slidshare butchers some of the slides.  They were prettier when I presented them, I swear)
