294 - When Private Becomes Public Online

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/12/19

A few months ago, John MacAurther's "go home" comments created a lot of discussions. Audio that would have normally occurred behind closed doors and remained behind closed doors -- becomes public and spreads like wildfire. This week on the podcast we discuss how technology now enables the capture and spread of behavior far more easily than in times past. What does that mean for us? And what about all the times we personally share our thoughts on something -- only to find that we

293 - Being A Content Gatekeeper for Children

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/12/13

Do you check the ratings of movies and video games before your children consume them? What about YouTube or other online streaming services? Resources like Common Sense Media are wonderful resources but are there other things to consider? This week on the podcast we discuss our personal approaches and several things to keep in mind as parents -- and even as Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, friends, etc. Jump into the conversation via Twitter @ChurchMag using #cmagcast or by email at podcast@churchm.ag

292 - Shifting Your Reason for the Season

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/12/06

We say that "Jesus is the reason for the season" -- but do we really live it out? Compound this with the complications of family dynamics and dysfunctions, and we can find the holiday season to be emotionally charged as well. So where do we go from here? How do we turn the tide? And what about all of this busy-busy-holiday-bustle? Let's talk about it. :) Jump into the conversation via Twitter @ChurchMag using #cmagcast or by email at podcast@churchm.ag and we’ll share it on an

291 - The Global Impact of Technology Consumerism...

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/11/27

As in episodes past (in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018), we present to you the annual Black Friday ChurchMag Podcast! This year we welcome Sean Leacy to discuss technology and the global impact it has on the environment, people, and some practical things you can do to start a positive push in the right direction. This is a "no judgment" discuss -- and simply a conversation started to begin thinking about these very important things (Also coffee? Maybe, but only at the end). Jump into the

290 - Should You Argue on Facebook?

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/11/22

When someone disagrees with something you said online, what do you do? This week on the podcast we talk about a specific instance when a pastor asked that his members cease their theological arguments online and wait to discuss it Sunday morning. Should Christians argue with one another online? Where do you draw the line between discussion and argument?

289 - The Tension Between Quality and Quantity

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/11/15

There is an ongoing tension between quality and quantity. Sure, it would be nice to have both -- but most of the time the cost for this is simply too high. So which is the better route? Is the answer always the same? This week on the podcast we explore the tension between these two. Jump into the conversation via Twitter @ChurchMag using #cmagcast or by email at podcast@churchm.ag and we’ll share it on an upcoming episode.

288 - Growth Doesn't Come from Tech, Tech Is Only A Tool

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/11/10

How often is technology sold on ideas and concepts that promise growth? But can these promises even be kept? This week on the podcast we talk about how growth is not created by using a tech tool on its own -- but that it is simply a tool. What are some of the reasons you've used to persuade others to invest in new technology?

287 - The Magic of Retro

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/11/01

What's so cool about "retro"? Retro was referred to as "the good ol' days" "back in the day" -- what can we learn from this? How deep does the rose color go with our glasses when looking into the past? This week we try to think deep about the concept of retro dynamics -- but end up mostly talking about our favorite retro things... What does "retro" mean to you? Do you like ALLTHETHINGS when it comes to retro? Jump into the conversation via Twitter

286 - So Many Hats, So Little Time

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/10/25

Church staff and those working for small ministries and nonprofits understand what it's like to wear "many hats." Youth Pastors responsible for the website, church secretaries deligated to care for Facebook -- the list goes on. But don't most smaller organizations have this pain point? Is there a difference? This week on the podcast, we barely scratch the surface of this glacier of a topic. Join in the conversation and tell us what you think! Jump in Twitter @ChurchMag using

285 - One Thing Every Church Should Do

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/10/18

Churches have a lot to do -- but what's something that you should always do? Clearly, this assumes some of the obvious things and is certainly a concept that ministries and nonprofit organizations should also consider. Listen, as we pivot on Blessing's blog post Of The Things Your Church Should Do -- so give it a read after the podcast. It's a quick one this week. Why? It's kinda meta. Give it a listen and we'll see if you figure it out. ;) Join in the conversation and tell

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/10/04

Does one size really fit all? Is it a good idea to use a "Swiss Army knife" tech solution? The answer may surprise you -- but probably not. ;) What are some of your favorite all-in-one solutions? Why do you like or dislike all-in-one solutions? Tell us on Twitter @ChurchMag using #cmagcast or by email at podcast@churchm.ag and we’ll share it on an upcoming episode.

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/09/13

If you're not running regular backups and running an antivirus -- than you are doing wrong. This week we talk on the podcast about the importance of having these on your church and ministry computers. Not something that requires a lot of attention, but can run without the user really taking notice. An automated system is certainly the way to go. Here are a few services we mentioned on the podcast: Dropbox, Backblaze, and Bitdefender. Tell us some of your favorite backup and antivirus apps and

278 - What About Christian Web Hosting?

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/08/30

There are many services -- from web hosting to membership management CMS' -- that refer to themselves as, "Christian." But what does that mean? A business can't be a Christian -- and does that kind of label even matter when approaching technology? We dive into this with both feet as we survey the church tech world and the "Christian" services that are marketed as such.

How are you doing with adopting new technology? The struggle is real -- we know -- since the very nature of technology is changing and moving forward. So how do you manage that tension? This podcast isn't geared for the church board member who is always dragging their feet, but more towards those of us that get a little over-excited about new technology.

ChurchMag Podcast ·

2019/08/09

Have you used FaceApp? It's the wildly popular image app that can transform your face and "age" your image to see what you will look like in the far future. It's also been tangled up with privacy concerns as the terms of use have caused concern for many. Which brings up an interesting topic about data privacy and you!
