I have lost my wisdom....

I haven't been writing recently because I had my wisdom teeth taken out on Monday...it was awful. I wasn't fully sedated because I was so nervous, so I felt a lot of what he was doing. I still can't eat real food & that's really frustrating because I love to eat! Ahh!

Enough about me...

I haven't worked much this week, so I don't have a "lesson" to share, so I'll share a resource. I literally visit this site five or more times a day to keep up. It's great. Any website with "church" and "sucks" in the same sentence will definitely peak anyone's interest. It's basically a blog that showcases church marketing...I don't exactly know how to describe it...just go there. There is also a group on Flickr that I joined through churchmarketingsucks.com. It's a neat place where you can showcase your graphic design work/pictures/talk about anything related to marketing, advertising...anything creative! Sites like churchmarketingsucks.com keep me humble because I realize that I know nothing and I have so much to learn. It's so great to have a resource like that.

We don't want church marketing to suck. We're trying to reach people for Jesus, not sell the church or preach hell fire and brimstone. The world is consumer-driven; we have to reach out to people the way the world does -- through marketing. Jesus reached out to people where they were...no matter how low. That's what we should be doing...what I try to do every week.
