This week is kind of light. I’ve noticed over the past year of the Church Tech Snack Pack, that it ebbs and flows.
So, if you’ve got anything extra you would like to include this week, please, drop a link in the comments.

A new season (or series, for my UK friends) of Doctor Who is upon us along with a new Doctor. It might be a bit too early to say this, but I’m really enjoying Peter Capaldi. I think we need grumpy, serious Doctor. It fits witch what the Time Lord has been up to lately—just before his latest adventures, he spent over a thousand years trapped on a single planet, awaiting his death. That would make anyone grumpy.
My fanboy analysis aside, let’s get to the main event. It’s time to look a recent episode of Doctor Who and see what we might glean from it about life, the universe, and everything in comparison to what the Bible might say about the same.

Contraption Maker is a digital Rube Goldberg machine maker and puzzler. This was launched as a remake of the classic Incredible Machine game from back in the day.
And it’s a load of fun. 🙂
In a day and age of 3D eye candy, this really breaks the form. I had fun playing around on it, but I actually snagged it for my 7-year old son who is just loving it! Best of all, it’s on sale until September 29th for only $1.49!

This is our first ChurchMag Foundry—and we’re super excited!
We received a number of applications when we announced the Foundry a few months ago, and decided we would kick it off with Sam Arthur from Second Baptist Church. The area of help that Sam was looking to get from Kenny Jahng, was with a content redesign to make the church website look nicer, work better, and require less time to manage.
Let’s jump in!
[Editor’s Note: ChurchMag Press is giving away five copies of Identity Crisis—details at the end of the podcast and blog post!]
KC Procter brings us another interview—this time—with author Michael D. Perkins about his newest devotional published with ChurchMag Press. I remember the first time I found Michael online. He had a ‘handwritten’ blog. He would handwrite his blog posts, scan them, and then load them up to his blog. Very cool. Very creative.
It’s great to hear the voice of an author and get some insight into his work—it adds a whole new layer to the reader experience, don’t you think?
Here’s Michael D. Perkins—author of Identity Crisis: 21 Days of Discovering Who God Says You Are.

I love writing, and one day, I’d like to be a writer full-time. For now, however, I’ll keep cranking out blog posts on my lunch break, which is fine, except that this doesn’t give me much time for the business side of writing. I have no time to track my posts to see what went well and what post was entirely ignored. This may sound boring—and it is!—but it’s really important to learn how to write in a way that engages an audience in an active and passionate way.
That’s why I’m so excited about this new service: PenPath.com!
