One of the questions I've been getting is "How do you like preaching with the iPad?" I've only taught off the iPad for a couple of weeks, but I love it! I actually think it's easier than preaching off paper notes. The reason being, there's no light directly over me when I'm preaching, so occasionally… Continue reading Preaching with the iPad

Mother’s Day Direct Mail
If you're planning to do direct mail for Mother's Day, here's a few things to consider: 1. Your copy matters – Focus on the benefits of attending, but just the features of your services (i.e. a feature is: batteries included. A benefit is, "Ready to play with right out of the box".) 2.
