missio

Here’s an oft-discussed conversation topic: how do we redeem tech for the Gospel? We see sites popping up like BibleGateway, eBible, and various christian blogs.  We see macs being used in worship, and we see HD cameras using for Nooma and the like. But what about us in the trenches? Those who aren’t starting from scratch (though I thankfully will be soon) and teaching from a pulpit (though I will be soon) need something to work from. What about the teachers and small group leaders? This week I’ll be teaching on cultural exegesis and redemption, and I’m going to be playing music and movies for the students. How? I’m using a Powerpoint show exported to JPGs and uploaded to my iPod, where I will feed those into a TV via a RCA cable.

Clean? Nope. Slick? Nope. Efficient? Probably could be better. But does it work? Absolutely.
