Last week I read a great blog post by Rich Birch at
UnSeminary about how churches use social media like Facebook. Rich asked us to imagine
a friend that just constantly talks about themselves and never stops to
engage in a dialogue. That’s what a lot of churches act like on their Facebook
wall because all they ever do is advertise the next upcoming event or service
that’s going on. Ouch!
Rich offered a series of questions to post on Facebook to
encourage dialogue and engagement. I
tried one on Saturday and loved the responses.

- Changed Lives - It is really striking to have someone you think really has it together share their "before" story. Since I've already exceeded the word limit, I'll add that I love seeing adults in the baptistry. Baptizing kids is good, but baptizing an adult means a life has gotten back on course.
