I just read an article that truely inspired me. Why am I dependent on other people to make a living? What if I had the faith of a mustard seed and stepped out and really went forward with 121 Media. There are many opportunities that I would love to work on, given the time.
It’s the business and money side of it all that scares me.
Lord, grant me the peace to do Your will. Help me to move in the direction You want me to go. If You desire I stay at the newspaper, keep me there as long as You will. If not, show me the door.

Pastoral Director of Design and Marketing
Is it just me, or would a Pastoral Director of Design and Marketing be my dream job. Oh how I would love to work full time doing marketing for the church.
What would that entail? Would marketing the church be simply telling the Gospel 24/7? While I think that’s a big part of it, I think it has more to do with marketing what makes the church a church. Also, it has to do a better job at telling the greatest message ever to people who aren’t going to step inside a church normally.
I think we need to find relevant ways to tell the Gospel to the world. We must be certain we don’t change the message or the Gospel, but sometimes it can be packaged differently.
Take for instance, one of my other passions, the CWF. How is it that a bunch of guys who love wrestling have found a way to package the Gospel with it?
It’s amazing to see how people respond to it — and more importantly to God.
We must find ways to reach every corner of the world with our message and I would love to be on the front lines.
UPDATE: Interesting how things change over the years. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t want this job anymore — at least not at a church. I’d much rather see churches spending money on caring for the needy around them — rather than spending money on one more staff member.
What about you?
