Ministry Monday: Going Pastor on People

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:27:00 +0000

I am sure you have heard the phrase "Going Postal". Wikipedia defines "Going Postal" like this:

Going postal is an American English slang term, used as a verb meaning to suddenly become extremely and uncontrollably angry, often to the point of violence and in a workplace environment. The term derives from a series of incidents from 1983 onward in which United States Postal Service (USPS) workers shot and killed managers, fellow workers, and members of the police or general public. Between 1986 and 1997, more than 40 people were killed in at least 20 incidents of workplace rage.

Now what if I said someone was "Going Pastor". What comes to mind? What would the definition of that be?

This past weekend I told my wife Jessica that I was "Going Pastor" on someone. She was of course confused and wondering what I meant. So what did I mean? I meant that these people needed some love in their lives. They needed to know that they were important to me and to God. They needed to experience a little bit of grace. They needed not to be judged but be accepted even if they were wrong. They needed a friend.

If you were "Going Pastor" on someone what would that look like?

Tune in next Ministry Monday for "Going Preacher" on someone. Believe me, there is a big difference in "Going Pastor" and "Going Preacher".

Sign Wednesday: Necessary?

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:17:00 +0000

Signs of necessity are normally put up to warn of previous accident or behavior. For example this sign:

The slippery when wet sign is infamous because of people falling but more importantly people suing a company because they didn't have a sign of warning.

Now this brings us to this sign:

If we take the same logic and say that this sign is here out of necessity then there must be a problem with previous accident or behavior. I only wonder how many times there were previous accidents or behaviors before it became necessary?

(Thanks to Sam Luce for the sign.)

Sign Wednesday: Jobs Found for #kidmin and #stumin

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 21:49:00 +0000

Normally you will see a jobs wanted sign like this one below:

Well I have exciting news for all of you Children's Pastors out there who may be in search for a new position. Actually not just Children's Pastors but anyone looking for a job in ministry. Going live tonight on CMConnect, SMConnect, PMConnect, and some other sites will be a job board for you. I know there are quite a few of you out there because I get phones from you looking for jobs. Now just log on to the websites above and click on the "Calling" tab. This will be a free service for the next 30 days. So jump on and see what is available later tonight or tomorrow morning. It will always be free to post your resume, so you can do that anytime. I really do think this is going to help out those looking and for churches who are searching.

By the way, I am not looking for a job. Just thought I would set the record straight.

Twitter Tuesday: DNR Daily Twitter Summary

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 19:34:00 +0000

Where have the daily Twitter summaries gone? This is a question that some people have been asking me. That is a great question and I'm glad you asked.

The service that I was using to do the Twitter summaries has crashed. It was a service called LoudTwitter. The service doesn't look like it will be back up anytime soon either. Here is the latest post from http://loudtwitter.com and I quote:

DNR* for loudtwitter

Let's do a quick tour of the situation:

I enjoyed a lot working on loudtwitter and the challenges it represents. I had fun times but also horrible time dealing with bugs (my bad), support (some nice people out there, and also some jerks) and technical issues.

Financially, loudtwitter operates at loss. Some nice people donated money (up to $50 for one donation!), some didn't (and that's ok, too). The donations totaled $336 over two years, but the operation expense (not counting my time ;) is $575 a year (hosting + domain name).

If I get back my Hard Disk (odds aren't looking good), then I'll probably renew LT domain and continue monitoring it and making sure it works. If I don't... restarting will be too much work for me, it would mean:

- Reinstall the operating system

- Reinstall the code and all software moving parts (Perlbal, Gearman etc...)

- Since I won't have the exact software version I was running, I will spend a lot of times to make it run the way it was previously running (I'm thinking about OpenId here and some other software: Catalyst)

- Reconfigure mysql in active-active replication on the same box (tricky)

- Reconfigure the backup system

- Restore the backups (I don't know how old, yet)

- Making sure it runs correctly

So, we'll see, but I hope you understand my current thinking.

*DNR: Do Not Resuscitate

So I am on the lookout for a new way to give the readers of my blog a way to keep up with my Twitter feed without joining Twitter. If you know of a service or use a service that you like please leave a comment.

Also I will probably be going to a weekly update of my Twitter summary instead of a daily in the future. Of course if you want to join in on the conversation you can follow me on Twitter or even subscribe to the RSS feed of my Twitter account by going to http://twitter.com/mattmckee

Sign Wednesday: The T-shirt

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:24:00 +0000

Some of the hardest things about any special event are the questions, "Well how many t-shirts should we order?" & "What should the t-shirts look like?" I'm not joking when I say this either. I have done many special events and there seems to be more controversy over who gets a t-shirt, who has to pay for the t-shirt, and what the t-shirt looks like than even who is in what group or breakout. I really am amazed by this phenomenon.

How do I solve this ever important controversy? Simple. Design a t-shirt that makes a lot of noise or makes you look at it at least once. Then order to many of them and give them away to anyone who is willing to wear it.

Do I have a good example of what I mean? Sure. Tie dye is a good choice to be loud and make people notice. It's not the only way but it is one way. Here is our camp shirt this year.

How do I afford it? I know going into the event that I'm going to order more t-shirts than I need so I factor that into the cost.

Why wouldn't you want people wearing the t-shirt for your event? It truly is one of the best walking around signs that you can have. If you are going to have a sign, why not make it noticeable? You want people to read it right?

This year, if you haven't ordered your t-shirt yet please remember these rules:

1. I want people to notice the shirt
2. I want people to wear the shirt who don't mind being noticed. These people talk more.
3. I will give away as many as I can.

Ministry Monday: It's time for NEW

matt@mckeelive.com (Matt McKee) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 20:08:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to do something new? Whether it was a new game to play or a new skill to learn, it seems to change you in some way. Whether you liked the new thing or not it changes your perspective. It makes you look at things a little bit differently. I am a firm believer that things need to be new or they will go unnoticed. This weekend was our weekend of NEW.

This past weekend was one of those times that we thought we would try some new things. We started a new ministry for 5th/6th graders called Freedom 56. It was in a new location. With a new setup that we had never done before. It had a new computer, screen, and sound system. We also started a new curriculum for them called Grapple from Group Publishing. We also had a new check-in station for these kids as well. Now if that was not enough new things we thought we would also pile onto that a new series in elementary, new classroom age breakdowns, promotion of all grades, new check-in computers, a new set for elementary and Jr. High, and a new curriculum for all of elementary called BIG by Hillsong Kids.

Here is what I say... If you are going to change something why not just go ahead and change most things?

When was the last time you changed something at your church, business, or organization? When you make something new people notice. It changes their perspective. New makes it to where people are willing to be moved in a different direction. What else could you ask for as a church, business, or organization?

New doesn't happen easy. It takes a lot of time, effort, and a little bit of sweat. In the end though, it is well worth. I think it's time for NEW.

Sign Wednesday: Trying to be The World's Worst

Here is a marketing strategy you don't see everyday. Believe it or not but it works.

If you can't be the best at something why not just go ahead and be the world's worst? Both will get you recognition and both are making a statement. Don't just try and be good. Be the best or in this case the worst.

Patriot and Azlan are now huge fans of Radio Disney. I mean huge. One of their favorites now is of course Hanna Montana. They sing and dance along all the time. Well in the 2 Min. Tuesday the got a little stage fright or the music was 2 fast but I think you will still get the picture. Enjoy.
