...and, ode to visionaries like these Young Life videographers who don't just let good stories sit in a filing cabinet, but instead project them into the public square for greater impact.
It certainly impacted me. This may be the ‘City of Churches,’ but there’s always room for improvementBy Kevin Leininger Fort Wayne News-Sentinel March 2, 2019 ![]() “Every time I look at you I don’t understand Why you let the things you did get so far out hand. You’d have managed better if you’d had it planned. Why’d you choose such a backward time in such a strange land? If you’d come today you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.” Tim Rice’s lyrics from the 1970 rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar may be bad theology — the passion Christians are about to observe was precisely what God had in mind — but Judas had a point about the failure to proclaim the faith in the most accessible way. Converting missed opportunity into effective ministry is the mission of former professional communicator and current Southern Baptist seminarian Christopher Mann, whose upcoming “ReSermon Institute” aims to help pastors and others “expand the potential audience of their sermons in order to increase listenership, foot traffic, membership, revenue and, ultimately, higher missional impact.” Click here for the full article.

I am aware of many churches who have changed their URL from www.OldChurchDomain.com to the new and improved www.CoolerChurchDomain.com, and then let OldChurchDomain.com lapse into the open market of URLs, where anybody can buy it. Usually, business-minded folks will scoop up these kinds of URLs because they're betting that among the 1,000 or so discarded URLs they buy, there are a sufficient number of former owners who just forgot to renew these domains, and they're willing to pay the (legal) scalping fees of $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 or more to get those URLs back. It may sound slimy, but they're playing by the rules, and its all legal. But there are many wicked businesses who buy these discarded domains for keeps and push massive amounts of porn. So for years to come, these sites are hosting and hooking new generations of porn addicts. If we're upset with factories polluting cities with toxic "brown fields" after decades of use, we're also upset with the short-sighted churches empowering pornographers to leave brown fields on the internet.

![]() “I am extremely grateful to ReSermon for helping us multiply the impact of our weekly worship. As a pastor who only uses outlines to preach, ReSermon creates the transcript for me, which makes it much easier to expand the reach of my message in many forms and places. People are accessing our audio files weekly, and we are already hearing that first-time worship guests have listened to sermons before deciding to attend. St Joe Community Church is excited to host Fort Wayne’s first ReSermon Institute on November 9th!” – Greg Byman, Senior Pastor, St Joe Community Church. About ReSermon.com
