Self Promotion Part 1 - The Jesus Trip

In this week's two-part episode, John Crowder discusses some of the dynamics faced by the church the in the internet age that differ from previous moves of God. With everyone having a virtual platform, there are many who presume to be teachers. This sometimes brings confusion, and John points to our need to avoid self-promotion over humility and teachability.

John prophetically cautions against a few other potential obstacles in this new media age, such as a bent toward debate and criticism on online forums, and the absence of real relationships in place of virtual ones. Also, how do we avoid random attacks, while still guarding against unhealthy teachers that tag onto the virtual platform of others? Enjoy some food for thought on the challenges of online ministry!

John, this is so refreshing at a time when finger-pointing slanderous videos are making the rounds on facebook, by Christians, about other Christians! (They will know us by our love for one another?) On one end we have folks who think this new reformation is all heresy & on the other hand, folks who are taking the message of Grace, this good news of the true gospel, & as as you said, are adding on new age teachings. It's time for love, respect, honor & humility! I'll be checking myself too!
