I’d love to hear more about the church’s mandate to be visible. I can’t say I immediately agree or disagree with that statement, but I’d be interested to hear why you believe that, and what specifically that means.

The church is in a quiet competition with the CNN’s of the world in crafting a message to be delivered to people. Crafting and disseminating that message, at times may and should cause interruption.

Again, I am not one for a lot of interruption marketing, and I believe the church as a whole should become more strategic. I also believe the church should work on creating lasting relationships and not just on short term audience growth. But having said that – our message has to “get in front of eyeballs” even if that means interrupting someone’s day.
