Some would say that teaching or preaching is itself a type of marketing. I think of it as a pragmatic necessity. The problem is when when the marketing takes over and becomes the message itself. Instead of it being an artistic expression to aid the message it becomes the message and then loses its power. Fight the power Dale!<BR/>-MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292824227963056711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15247127.post-84180573023048691862007-06-08T10:07:00.000-06:002007-06-08T10:07:00.000-06:00here is that link for brian video...i forgot to li...here is that link for brian video...i forgot to link it: http://www.emergentvillage.com/weblog/<BR/>brian-mclaren-on-the-worship-industryPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858971251271104372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15247127.post-25924170511304676052007-06-08T07:41:00.000-06:002007-06-08T07:41:00.000-06:00thanks for the tip and kind comments - blessing ri...thanks for the tip and kind comments - blessing right back at ya!Increasing...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04415949902147061601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15247127.post-29958550792725365602007-06-07T22:44:00.000-06:002007-06-07T22:44:00.000-06:00Dale,My kids enjoyed hearing you at Abundant Sprin...Dale,<BR/>My kids enjoyed hearing you at Abundant Springs. You may have seen their "garage band" warming up before Dreamquest - yes my daughter plays bass, that radical. <BR/>As for your post on Purpose Driven life & marketing, just an interesting coincidence that I just listened to a audiobook (available on mp3 at pyromarketing.com) that speaks of the marketing of that book as well as the Passion of the Christ. He says that if you ask 100 people, 1 will read a Bible, while 99 will read Christians. He uses that principle to suggest that successful marketing (read "witnessing") is a result of someone seeing the product working. Check it out for yourself if you'd like.<BR/>Blessings on your ministry Dale!<BR/>Gord PennerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15247127.post-27545283720775819362007-06-07T09:56:00.000-06:002007-06-07T09:56:00.000-06:00Hey Dale very good thoughts here.

I would also like to echo that your and each unique community of youth, is its own group that is looking to be loved...I agree with you that many of these books have helpful ideas, but when become the BE-ALL of your ministry there is a problem a serious problem. Here is a helpful video by Brian McLaren on the industry of music/worship in our Christian society! I think it connects because its this marketing driven machine that is after money not the hearts and souls of youth...people...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858971251271104372noreply@blogger.com
