This blog entry is both a plug for another amazing resource called Blog Talk Radio and a recent show sponsored by the Johnson Center.
Blog Talk Radio and another service called Talkshoe offer free conference call numbers and hosted chat room for use with community learning forum. While the Johnson Center uses Blog Talk Radio another group in which I participate and watch, Church IT Round Table (CITRT) uses Talkshoe.
The Johnson Center is an academic center led by the students and faculty at Grand Valley State University that works to enhance the impact of foundations and nonprofit organizations, and improve the quality of community decision-making, and civic engagement.
These organizations and service providers are leaders and major contributors in this sector. Their services really do strengthen the efforts of non-profits and churches.

Today the world is so entwined. Connectivity and collaborative tools are flattening the world. The next few days I will be highlighting the features and benefits of a few tools that could greatly benefit the Church in the fulfillment of its Mission and local vision.
The first such tool is: Phonevite. This new web service, allows the user to send time-critical event reminders and important alerts over the phone. Phonevite offers a limited version that is FREE and a fee-based Premium Service that is very reasonably priced! The solution seems perfect for the low-tech members who aren’t on FB, an iphone, email, skype, linked in, twitter, ning or other online broadcasting and communication tool.
Here are just a few of the cook features… Check them out! Phonevite http://www.phonevite.com

Church health is more important that church growth. That is our stance. The thought is reflected by many and articulately expressed by Anne Jackson, the author of MCD (yet to be released).
Church planters, pastors at legacy churches and emergent leaders alike need to consider these thoughts about church and personal health.
WIA has available several assessment tools for individuals and organizations who want to assess and sustain organizational and personal health. If you are an organizational leader and want to learn more, simply contact us and request a complimentary individual survey.

The Desire of Generations July 4, 2008

It seems to be that number of Americans who desire God and the things of God is growing. Why then are the numbers of participants in American churches shrinking? Has the leadership lost touch with the culture? Have church leaders become like the pharisees and loving God, failed to communicate the Good News (GOSPEL) to the everyday people? How might church leaders use social media/ networking to reach out, be transparent and interact better with the masses?
