In this episode of CHURCHepreneurs Richard P. Moore shares his experience as a pastor and his observations that pastors should be more curious about people. He shares practical helps on how to love and be more curious in people to share the love of God. As Pastors our main task is theology, and theology is nothing more than explaining God to people. How can we do that if we are not curious in people? With video of the San Francisco bay area interspersed, Richard shares his pastoral experiences and his love for Cal Football in this fun episode.

In This Episode of CHURCHepreneurs Richard P Moore encourages us to use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to grow in our thankfulness to God. Richard teaches from the story of the 10 Lepers in Luke 17:11-19. He looks at the example of the one Samaritan who returned to praise and thank God as an example or us of how to Thank God when he shows his mercy and goodness to us. Richard shares a deeply personal story of God's mercy in relation to his daughter and her epilepsy when she was a baby.

In this episode of CHURCHepreneurs Richard P Moore talks about naming names. False teaching doesn’t happen in a vacuum. False teaching is spread by false teachers. If we don’t know who those false teachers are, how can we as Paul in Romans 16:17 exhorted us to “mark and avoid” them. It would be impossible to avoid someone you’re not aware of. So, “Naming Names” is often necessary to help a Christian community avoid false teaching. In this episode Richard makes a case that the New Testament authors, and even Jesus himself often named names to help churches and Christians avoid false teachers, and avoid falling into deception.

In this episode of CHURCHepreneurs Author Richard P. Moore describes some New Apostolic Reformation Buzzwords that are often used in this movement. Inform yourself, and be able to spot possible New Apostolic Reformation influences in your churches, sermons, and things you are being exposed to so that you can "Mark and Avoid" them as Paul tells us in Romans 16:17.

In This episode of CHURCHepreneurs Richard Moore shows a practical ministry tool called "cultural exegesis." just like we exegete the scriptures we can have a look around our contexts and ask the questions "who? what? where? when? and why?" This is a great practice for churches, pastors, and leaders of churches to understands their contexts and how to reach communities, and people in those communities for the gospel.

Below are the notes from his session.

1. Define envision your special future (destination)

a. “The Gospel must first be preached to all creation.”

b. Matthew 28:19-20

c. “To proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”

d. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called today (Heb 3:13)

e. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir one another up to love and good works, not neglecting the meeting together as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” (Hebrews10:23-25).

2. Define what you want to do first

a. Use what you have at hand for video etc. Your phone is an incredible multimedia machine (iPhone X and 11 can shoot video at 4K 60 FPS)

b. Livestream Software (OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, XSplit, Wirecast, vMix, Nvidia Shadowplay, lightstream)

c. microphones, cameras, look around your house to see what is already there that could be applied as tools. Use what you already have at hand.

d. Once you have decided and defined what you want to do look for deals for gear. (Light ring 20€ and it is a great setup for livestream on facebook, youtube, etc.)

2. Visualize and Conceptualize

a. Try to imagine what you what you want your tech game to look like. If you don’t know maybe you need to inform yourself (YouTube)

b. Conceptualize by planning (materials, gear, making plan for your content, outline goals content, etc)

3. Be relevant, real, authentic, and don’t put out poor quality content (Quality isn’t King content is king. Don’t copy a model. know who you are)

4. Don’t be haphazard (waste time or money)

a. The more you get into upping your tech game the more you will see how time intensive it is. So don’t waste time.

b. Make every dollar count (don’t waste money on cheap gear. If it is a necessary piece of gear spend the money (Cameras, lighting, computers, mics, cam-link, audio and video switchers. etc.)

5. Get your innovation ready first and then launch

6. Practice, Practice, Practice (don’t “go live” without knowing your software inside and out.

7. Research

8. My process: What I do in my Tech Game

a. Podcast recording with an Auna USB Mic into Garage Band (Accusonus ERA 4 Plugin Bundle) I know podcasters who use Voice memos on a iPhone or other cell phone and a quiet room to record podcasts. So it doesn’t have to be complicated.

b. Blogs I write blogs on all topics faith, theology, and church ministry related all you need is a google account to start a blog at blogger, another platform is Word press. I just use my social media platforms and influence there to make articles known. leverage every tool you have at your disposal. In my opinion don’t leverage your social media for cats! We use everything for the glory of God and the building of his kingdom. certainly you can post stuff about your family, fun stuff etc. But the more you post cat videos the less you will be taken seriously. make a good mixture of fun, and serious content that is beneficial for people, and the building, discipling, and encouragement of the kingdom.

c. Vlog (Video Podcasts) record using what you have try, try and try again.

d. Social media content (You can replicate all content across all platforms. If you post something somewhere post it everywhere so that you don’t have to create new content for every different platform. If I post something on FB I usually post it on Twitter. This way you can save time and influence more people.

e. Email Supporter newsletter: Use this to inform and encourage your support network. (Mailchimp is free) use it for a church newsletter. You can stylize it to look nice instead of just text.

f. WhatsApp is also a tool that could be used for gatherings, video conference, small groups etc

g. Zoom, Google meet, Skype, FaceTime, etc are all good platforms to have meetings, churches are doing zoom Gottesdienste, etc. People can chime in via zoom to a live church service. Where people are able to attend physically, but in these times not your whole congregation is allowed to attend for space sake and Abstand then you can add a zoom function to every church service and have groups who switch Sundays of physical attendance.

-The content of the gospel must stay the eternal content of the gospel

-The message cannot change to fit the packaging.

-Technology or innovation is only a tool innovation is only working on that tool

-Personal meetings Vs. Virtual meetings

-Virtual meetings are only a substitute and can only be a substitute

-Maybe your virtual presence should be a Low key entry point and should point people to the physical gathering

-Tech Game of a Church is an extension of your church not your church itself
