Now and then you find something you didn’t know existed and then find that it’s interesting. The thoughts from Phil Vischer on church communication and it’s relationship with the gospel message is interesting. He is both a visionary and big dreamer. Something our churches would benefit more from. Perhaps you might find the following from Church Marketing Sucks interesting for some ideas to begin having bigger dreams for your ministry… dreams the Lord may give you to extend beyond the box.
Churches as a Media Platform
Veggie Tales founder Phil Vischer has been blogging about his big dreams for his new company, Jellyfish (if you’re not familiar with Vischer’s departure from Big Idea, you should read his book, Me, Myself & Bob: A True Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables). So far he’s blogged about two problems:
- “Problem #1 – we need to raise a generation of Christians who know what it means to live out the Gospel.”
- “Problem #2 – Christian kids media is dying for lack of a platform.”
He’s gone on to talk about a platform to address these problems, which he called the “world’s smallest TV network.” God speed, Phil.
But I’ve got another idea: Why can’t the church be the platform?
