Open Source and High Definition

Thought I'd share a few updates coming out of our media department.

We continue to move in the direction of making all of our resources open-source. We currently have a couple sermon series that are free and downloadable. The open-source dream is simple: other churches take our ideas, tailor them to their context, and do it better than we did it. It's kingdom leap-frog.

Hundreds of churches have done a Chase the Lion series and used graphics, videos, and resources from chasethelion.com. And I'd love to see hundreds of churches do The Elephant in the Church series. We're actually going to do a sequel in the fall. You can check out the free resources at TheElephantInTheChurch.com.

One other update.

We just launched a high definition version of our podcast. For those of you who don't like small-screen poor-quality video, now you can subscribe to our high-definition version. And I if you ever want a guest preacher via video let us know. No honorarium.

Carpe digital.

PM,

Is the sequel what I suggested? The 800 lb. gorilla in the room? That would be cool if it was. I'd feel like I contributed something to NCC even though I can't get involved much due to living out here in Lorton.

Terry,

We might just do a sequel with same branding :) If we don't, we all loved the 800lb gorilla idea! Not 100% sure yet :)
