A funny thing happened to me on my way to iTunes this morning. A friend had mentioned to me that the new Passion: Awakening album that was released on March 9^th was worth every penny.

I like many geeks have two monitors running on my desk. I opened iTunes and threw it over to my secondary monitor; while I finished an email on screen one.

I looked over to begin my search of the new album, and this is what I see:

We are some of the busiest people on the planet and everything in ministry can seem like “top priority” and “right now” or “ASAP.”

Right?

Let’s fight the fire of deadline anxiety (or uncontrolled excitement) with a godly-sized portion of patience, grace, and understanding.

Someone passed me this the other day and I thought it looked great: Chris Tomlin’s Frequency Worship Center.

Essentially it’s a monthly paid service where you can get premium content, tools, and resources to help plan your worship sets and more.

With the talent that’s behind this service it looks to be a guaranteed valuable opportunity! For only $15.95 (or $19.95 for premium) you can get access to all that and more.

Check out this sample video of some advice from Nathan Nockels on using loops in recorded and live sessions:

This is just how I think, ok? So, if you’ve got a few seconds to burn then follow me down this rabbit hole for a second…

Inside North Point’s Media Blog posted the title package video to Andy Stanley’s ‘White Flag’ series this morning:

The series is about Jonah and how he ran from God. We wanted to show a character running endlessly and becoming more and more exhausted. Additionally, the subject was to end up in increasingly desolate environments.

The reveal at the end would show a white flag. We wanted the viewer to see the subject running, becoming beat down by the run and eventually surrendering.

And yes, that is me running wildly around downtown Atlanta. Looking tired was easy since I’m an overweight blogger.

I mean, true authentic acting!

You can see the package in all it’s glory after the jump. Laugh at me in the comments.

Designing for a ministry is tough work; there’s much more to consider than just making sure people click through and buy your product and service (or whatever a business is trying to do).

We’re trying to capture people’s attention to what’s most important in life and we’ve got a message to die for.

As a result, we should be the arbiters of good web design strategy and techniques, right? Here are 5 Design Tips that I’ve learned in the past few years that have helped me greatly:

Red is White is a unique and interesting concept where designers can upload images to be printed on clothing to be rated and voted on by the community. The winners get their stuff printed and get paid!

Does this sound familiar?

A staff member or volunteer just gave some announcements, and now it’s time for offering. A few moments pass. Increasingly uncomfortable.

Ok, it just got awkward. Someone forgot their cue, timing is off, no one is coming to the mic, there’s obvious concern, but no one knows who’s supposed to call and/or pray for the tithes and offering.

In fact, the only thing that’s pulled everyone’s attention away from the awkward situation is the guy towards the back who is doing “the nervous cough.” Murmuring starts and finally someone, anyone steps up and does the job.
