Wait... Hypothetically speaking... would I be disqualified from the gadget give-away if I spelled "Jon" wrong in my previous comment? Hypothetically.

Hey there brother John! Thanks for making my life better. I found you about 6 months ago. Outstanding. God bless!

I had no internet presence at all in 2008. 2009 is the year I finally realized that social media isn't just a distraction - it's the way the world communicates now. Things have changed. Information flow has changed. For me, as a Pastor and ministry leader and church "designer," I am swimming into the stream and learning to surf. Started a blog this year. Also used your DBC theme for a personal reference site using WP. Joined Twitter. Embraced my long-dormant Facebook account. 2010 will be a year for me to refine a clear strategy and purposeful utilization of tech. Both personally and for Living Hope Church. Thanks for ALL your help, John! God bless!

Elliot Allen is a wonderous name, friend. I love it. Although, Kenneth or Billy Reuben were still sweet options. Love the video. If you feel like high-fiving your wife from a stranger in another state, do so on my behalf. God bless. :-)

Lack of money... I feel your pain. :-) Thankfully that's a temporary problem. You're smart. God's your advocate. You best days are ahead, brother.

I want this book because my life is in transition. Right now. And I don't know what God is doing, but He's made me aware that my life is changing. I'm in the "Between Land..." - between the stable places where you know where your finances are coming from and that your job is secure for the next season of life. I'm a Worship and Executive Pastor, and I've recently started blogging/writing/tribe-building and prayerfully looking for God to open doors in His timing. And I've kicked on a few doors myself in the process. I love (and will remain) serving my local church... But at the end of the day, I want to make as much of an impact on this world for Jesus as humanly possible. I'm a Kingdom-builder and a Christ-lover and a leader. I believe Seth's book would help me lead more effectively. And the Kingdom will grow. And God will get more glory. Thanks for the possibility - love your blog. God bless.

Intelligent post Steven. I agree about the sky-high expectations heaped on Apple right now. I'd also like the ability for the tablet to cook me breakfast. Until a gadget can do that, technology still has room for growth, as far as I'm concerned.

Excellent post, Michael. Thanks for laying out all 10 of my mistakes with such clarity. :-) Good advice. Appreciate you.

Thank you for this outstanding article. I have felt this shift in my bones over the last decade+... That there is something hard to put my finger on, but something disturbing about the Christian bubble. And that the bubble needed popping. The artists I hang with often distinguish themselves as "Kingdom Artists" - serving and advancing the Kingdom of God through their art - rather than "Christian Artists" - which seems to imply that the target market is the Church. There's a healthy place for art used to encourage the church, but how sad if our influence in the culture never makes it outside the doors of the sanctuary, or outside the car doors of the already convinced. Bless you for articulating this issue and the change that is taking place so clearly. Outstanding. Have a great Thanksgiving!____-joshua

Hey Stephen. Our family vacations yearly on Hilton Head Island, SC. Very close to Charleston. I've been to Charleston many times. Love it there. Beautiful beach.

Also wanted to give you a thumbs up on this beautiful blog design. I was very very close to pulling the trigger on this same design from @human3rror, but went with something else at the last minute. I love this template, though. Looks gorgeous.

I actually have a technical question for you... I'm just new to using stumbleupon, but I still have things to learn. When I followed the link from your tweet, your blog cam up with this tasty little stumbleupon stripe at the top. How do you do that? I've seen other bloggers use that feature as well, but I don't know how you set up your links to work that way. Any words of wisdom?

I enjoy following you. Thanks for blogging - keep it up! God bless.
