Technology

This is great.

Talking about the miserable-ness of our generation. It defines us perfectly. It reminds me to sit back and be amazed sometimes.

“New York to L.A…. That used to take THIRTY YEARS!”

“Give it a minute, it’s going to SPACE!”

Watch this.

CaffeinatedFaith Podcast

So, to keep you in the loop, I record a podcast with some buddies of mine.  We talk about all sorts of junk, and have a really good time doing so.  We have some awesome news for our upcoming podcast we record this Wednesday:  Check it out.  This is what Brad had to write about it:

This Wednesday, August 12th we have the opportunity to interview Mike Dawson.  Now for most of you, that might not be a household name.  I understand that, but in the coming months, after you hear the story that Mike’s going to tell, all that will change.  Mike is one of the writers responsible for the new riveting film, “The Enemy God”.  The film is a wonderful depiction of a TRUE STORY about redemption and how Christ is constantly intervening and saving the Yanomamo people!  Believe me when I tell you that some of the things Mike is going to talk about is going to ABSOLUTELY BLOW YOUR MIND!!

I had a chance to go to a screening of the film on Friday and it just blew me away!  Even the intro that Mike gave the film blew me away!

For more information, you can go to the film’s website here, or you can contact CaffeinatedFaith.com for more info.  The podcast should be available August 14th so be ready!

Ch-ch-changes

yes. I switched webhosting. Obviously something went kind of wrong… But at least I got all of the data. So, you can still click around. You just don’t get the prettiness there was. Go look at some old stuff.

Comment some old stuff. Rock it! I’ll be fixing the rest later. Also, go look at http://www.makinghimfamous.net

No Mo' Breakfast

My wife is constantly telling me it’s not healthy for me to skip breakfast.  She says it’s what starts the metabolism.  She tells me that is why I’m always so tired.  So.. This is really just for her.  But you should totally watch this video too!!! wow.

Twitter Killed my….

twitter.pngSo, I’ve heard the statement, “Twitter killed my blog.”  I have to say, it confuses me a little bit.  Twitter is killing a lot of things, including Facebook, but I don’t think it’s killing the blog.

To me, it’s opened my eyes a little bit.  I see now, everything is becoming micro or instant.  If the seemingly 3 minute laser show at Stone Mountain wasn’t a clue for me, there are hints everywhere.  The new monopoly game, designed to be played in 20 minutes and instant grits. (don’t get me started) Things are changing to fit the trend of micro, or instant. If you don’t believe me, have you been on Facebook lately?  Things are changing, and there is nothing we can do about it…. is there?

As a Christ Follower should this concern me?  Does this speak about not only what our generation is looking for, but is it a sign of what’s to come?  How do we tell people that being a Christ Follower is more than a 20 minute decision.  How do we tell people that witnessing, or sharing faith is going to take more than 140 characters? I don’t believe that His Love needs to be made (buzz word alert) ‘relevant’, but do we need to adapt to fit culture, or does the basis of what we believe show that change is part of believing, and we have to live that purposefully?  What, as the body of Christ, can we do to slow people down?  To make people not look for that instant gratification?

In a world of Twitter, 20 minute Monopoly, and instant grits, how do we show people that there is reward in anything else?  How do we show people The Way, if it will require a lifelong change?

I don’t know if any of this will make sense, I’m just thinking outloud here.
