Favorite Tech Tools: Boyue T62+ – Android E-Reader

Preaching to Bored People

Preaching to Bored People

The sermon is entering its most challenging season ever. It’s obvious that our cultural ability to pay attention is shrinking. Microsoft tells us (even though its probably their fault) that we have 8 second attention spans, which is worse than

The Reformation: Closing Eyes and Opening Ears

The Reformation: Closing Eyes and Opening Ears

Jesus is God’s Voice in Synesthesia

Jesus is God’s Voice in Synesthesia

“To Those Who Have Ears…” Without opening your Bible, try to remember verses that refer to one of the five senses and faith. You will likely remember hearing passages easily: John 20:29 – “Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have

How to Record Audio Memos Handsfree

I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts. But I hate that I can’t record audio memos handsfree to refer back to later without having to stop what I’m doing. I used to carry a little notebook and a pencil, but

Why Isn’t God Photogenic? Reflections on the Second Commandment

Testimonials

Caught my attention…

Great points, great research, good balance and excellent presentation. That whole idea about the digital mission field really caught my attention.

Verner Drost
Smythe Street Cathedral

Engaging and often humorous

Josh has an amazing ability to communicate with clarity and passion. While Josh’s material is always thorough and well researched, it is also delivered in an engaging and often humorous way. I would not hesitate to have Josh as part of the speaking roster no matter what the age group.

Kenn Parker
National Director of ACOP

Ideas spark…

Truly blessed with the opportunity to work alongside Josh at our conference this past weekend.  To see young faces light up, and ideas spark in the minds of our youth is something beyond words.  His honesty and yet easy-going familiarity while speaking to even the larger gatherings of youth is admirable, and I myself walked away with some new perspectives!
Jesse Dueck
Alberta Home Education Association Convention Youth Leader

Clarity and simplicity

Josh Chalmers’ presentation on Digital Discipleship at our national conference was insightful, practical and humorous.  Josh was able to communicate with clarity and simplicity both the negative and the positive impact new technology can have on us as individuals or as a church community.
