Is the church ahead of academia?

Check out the following video and ask yourself… is my church, my youth ministry, my household… am I educating my students in a way that is relevant to today’s culture?

I am sick of hearing people complain about the church saying that we are ineffective communicators in today’s society. In this video you will see just how far ahead the typical church is when it comes to communicating messages that matter. That doesn’t mean we right where we need to be… but we’re closing the gap. (I really think that talkback SMS will become a regular part of worship services in the best communicating churches within 5 years.)

For those parents dropping serious coin on a college education the following video may be disturbing when you realize most of your money is not going to actual classroom education. Of course, college isn’t all about classes, but $20,000 in debt is a lot of coin to drop so your kids can get educated in today’s social media.

How is your church doing? (I looked at this and did an internal high 5!)

a quick postscript: it wasn’t until after I posted this that I saw Mark Oestreicher posted the same video this morning. Oops. I guess I should have finished reading on my feed reader before daring to post.
