RANDY ELROD | Creating Culture | Influencing Influencers : Letters From A Devastated Artist (5)

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 03:09:25 +0000

Randy, I just posted this on Pete's blog, but thought I'd post this here as well. I guess I'm kinda embarrassed to have to ask this question ... but here goes ... What exactly, is "public productivity"? Reading between the lines, I assume it means that you "do stuff so people can see it"? I dunno. Maybe there's someone else out there who doesn't quite "get" what that phrase means ... so I'll be the guy to raise his hand and say "I don't quite understand". Someone enlighten me please!?

I'll never forget interviewing for "the big job" as a Music Director in what was considered to be one of the FL mega churches. I cast some vision for producing/writing worship with some people outside of that ministry that God had set me up with years before (people who mentored me, who caught vision with me, who shared the sweat and tears with me, and there less than an hour's drive away) ... When the Big Kahuna (Senior Pastor) said "anything like that you wish to do can be done here under our roof" ... haha, that's when I said "no thanks" and took a position an hour north in a tiny church that said "the sky is the limit".

Randy, What an inspiring post. #1 - love the new design. #2 - is this about the trip in 1973 ... or did you just take a new trip ... from everything I read, it seems like you are remembering the trip back from 1973 ... but when I read the post, I dunno, it gives me the impression that you just recently took the trip. (I also realize this was posted a year ago!)

Elevate Gathering : Tuesday Setlist - February 23, 2010

and to be clear, comparing Robbie's music to something by Smitty that is that old .... not the same. (and I like both!) ... but would def. feel like RS was more contemporary. I guess I'm the snob, too ... I fight that all the time, but my desire to play the coolest new music, though it never goes away, is easily pacified when I see people engaged and participating because they are familiar w/ what's happening ... that's where it counts .. unless ... their engagement is pure routine due to over-familiar ....

Human3rror : I Disclaim My Content!

Sat, 9 Jan 2010 15:15:47 +0000

Conner, I'm with you. I actually teach that these disclaimers seem bogus to me in my Web + Worship 2.0 seminar. Why? Just like you said ... as employees of the church (especially if we're on the pastoral team, maybe that's the difference?) ... I can't just separate my personal views from those of the church. If my personal views are controversially different than the views of the church I'm serving in ... why am I there? I suppose it depends on what level of "controversy" or "opinion" you have. I guess I'm still out to lunch on it. IN this case, the church asked them to put that up ... so it's OK. I'm laughing at the individual employees who put it up, without the counsel of their leadership. "I can say what I want, it's my life ... my thoughts, and my church where I work has no accountability over what I say and how I use this pulpit to communicate". Hmmm ...

IntenseDebate Blog : Facebook Connect Enhancement

Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:39:54 +0000

I've been using the WordPress plugin version of this for quite some time, and have been waiting for IntenseDebate to integrate this. So excited, but not sure I'm ready to switch back yet. Like many who are commenting here, I'd prefer it to ask the user if they want it to happen proactively, rather than requiring them to have the foresight to click the "share on facebook" box. With the WP plugin, when a FB Connect user comments, they are immediately given the option to publish it on their wall (or not). I see so much traffic coming from Facebook (honestly, I can't tell if it's from my own status updates or from people seeing the "so-and-so commented on ...." in their news updates ... but I hate to risk losing that.

Thanks, Michael - that's awesome, loving seeing your passion for great leadership and resources, even from a competitor. I'd love to get a copy, first I admire and respect Craig and like what he brings to the table. I find that as I lead others locally as a Worship Pastor, in business as an entrepreneur, and online (as a blogger and owner/publisher of TheWorshipCommunity.Com) that these are some of the people that I really should read and follow to broaden my own leadership skills and awareness! Thanks for the opportunity!

Michael Hyatt Blog : Stop Me from Deleting My Facebook Account!

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:37:14 +0000

I just did a test from my own "fan" page ... I wrote "wall test" on the wall of my personal "fan page" ... and then immediately clicked "Home" (logged in as my regular user/profile) and my update was in the main news feed under Home. I guess my issue is ... I seldom load the home page and view all of that info - but I suppose that's no different than a profile page ... so if you post on your fan page ... it shows up in the news feed for your "fans" just as if you'd posted on your profile.
