after about 2 minutes of listening to the new Gorillaz album last Tuesday I immediately went to Amazon and downloaded it. Right away you new Stylo was going to be the first single. Great song. And based on the ending I bet you can guess which song will be the next video. And it’s also one of my early favorites.

Hey pastor, I have a confession: I’ve been pastoring people from your church.

Well, the truth is, I have been blogging in a few other places since about June of last year when I started my new job as Internet Pastor at Gateway Church.
So here’s where you can find me:
The Intersection | A new look for what we think church can be on the internet. Go take a look
The Mystery Is The Truth | Spirituality. That’s it.
Church Crunch | I’ve had some fun posting over at Church Crunch about the building of the Internet Campus at Gateway Church.
Gateway Church Blog | We’re just getting this guy off the ground. I’ll try to keep it fun.
I’ll try to keep some content flowing over here a couple times a week.
I still love you.

I feel like I’ve seen this scene played out in church before.
Like when a pastor is not willing to meet people where they are at and instead is only focused on his reality.

We started a new web series at The Intersection this week called Zeitgeist, which is a German word which means ‘Spirit of the times’ or ’spirit of the culture’. The series is about exactly that; we take a look at culture and look for spiritual significance in it.
Head on over the check it out…and don’t be a lurker, contribute to the conversation.

I have seen a lot of amazing gatherings of Christians on the web. This Christian blogger over here get’s 30,000 hits a day. That blogger over there has 20,000 subscribers. This Christian tweet has 42,000 followers.
15,000 Facebook fans
90,000 viewers on Livestream
And on and on.
Really cool. Seeing movements grow and blossom is awesome. Especially when the movement is gathered around Christ.
Take a closer look at the numbers and see who is a part of these movements…
Christians.
That’s a good thing…right?
Sure it’s good, but I don’t think we need to go patting ourselves on the back just yet.
Why can’t the Christian community take the effort and resources that go into these Christian movements and point them in an outward direction?
Why do Christian ‘leaders’ on the web compete for the attention of the same people? …and these people are Christians by the way.
I don’t have the answers. I wish I did.
The way it works online is we throw some content up and see who is listening and contributing back to the conversation and then continue to craft content that speaks to this audience. Or we find and audience that already exists and we try and grab their attention.
It takes a lot of time, energy and resources to build an audience from scratch, it’s much easier to just speak to an audience that is already there.
How can we build a missional movement on the web?
