- S04 E07: Mark Clark on the Art of Reaching and Leveraging your Weaknesses
S04 E07: Mark Clark on the Art of Reaching and Leveraging your Weaknesses
We sat down with Pastor/Author/Apologist Mark Clark in early March (right before the global pandemic shut down) to talk about why his church has grown so fast, how to communicate in a way that reaches a post-Christian audience, the leveraging of digital platforms in church (before a forced shut down) and so much more. This conversation is more banter than a traditional interview, and we think you’ll love the energy and insights of this week’s episode!

S04 E06: Sheila Walsh on How to Pray in a Noisy World
Sheila Walks is an author, tv host, and communicator with a glorious Scottish accent and on this episode we’re talking about how to pray, because it’s so hard for so many of us in this distracted world. She has spoken around the world to over 6 million people, reaches 100 million daily as co-host of the Life Today television program, and her books have sold over 5 million copies… but yet she still struggles just like we all do with this critical form of communication: Prayer. This conversation addresses prayer in a pandemic, prayer when you’re exhausted, prayer when you’re afraid or guilty… it’s a great inspiration to become better communicators where it matters most: between us and God.

Wycliffe College: wycliffecollege.ca/wordmadedigital53 min - S04 E05: Gabriel Finochio on Theos U and the Future of Online LearningS04 E05: Gabriel Finochio on Theos U and the Future of Online LearningGabriel and Nathan Finochio launched Theos U as a sort of “Netflix of theological courses”. Courses that you might take at a seminary or college, distilled down into about 8 hours of video content and training on various issues, including “Defence Against the Dark Arts”, which is a great Harry Potter reference. Why? Because they want to make this kind of learning accessible in the digital age to all Christians. A democratization of biblical literacy. In this episode, Gabe and I talk about what the church can do about discipleship and teaching people to understand the Bible; that they may experience God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Even on the internet.Join the "Digital Church" Facebook Group to connect and learn with other Christian leaders about all these kinds of topics and more!Gabriel Finochio/Theos U: @gabrielfinochio and https://theosu.caJoanna la Fleur: @joannalafleur and www.joannalafleur.com.Email me: [email protected]Join the Digital Church Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/wordmadedigitalMy other Podcast- short, practical, daily episodes on Church Media and Communications: thefuture.churchThanks to our Season 4 Partners:Compassion Canada: www.compassion.com/covidWycliffe College: wycliffecollege.ca/wordmadedigital1 hr 5 min

- S04 E01: PreachersNSneakers on Ministry and Money in the Digital AgeS04 E01: PreachersNSneakers on Ministry and Money in the Digital AgePreachersNSneakers blew UP on instagram in the last year, by simply posting photos of prominent pastors and the value of their shoes (and jackets, belts, etc). It stirs up something in all of us about what we think about celebrity pastors, people living off of donations and what they do with it, if people in ministry can or should buy anything they can afford… and particularly what that means when the images go beyond the local community context to the global online world in this Digital Age.Join “Tyler” the founder of PreachersNSneakers as we discuss and wrestle through these issues in an honest way.PreachersNSneakers: @preachersnsneakers and preachersnsneakers.comJoanna: @joannalafleur and www.joannalafleur.com.Email me: [email protected]My other Podcast- short, practical, daily episodes on Church Media and Communications: thefuture.churchThanks to our Season 4 Partners:Compassion Canada: www.compassion.com/covidWycliffe College: wycliffecollege.ca/wordmadedigital1 hr 6 min
