Recently Ana shared about how using a to-do list can be a really effective way to help you stay on track and productive. But there is another tool that I think can be as important for your productivity and more importantly, your effectiveness. It doesn’t replace a to-do list but supplements it. It’s a “Done list.”

Church Communicators Interview Series: Seth Muse
In the world of digital and social media church communication there are many individuals doing some great work and paving a path forward that the church has not been yet. Some of these individuals you may have had interactions with or have even seen a product of their work. Others might have slipped through the radar as they continue to work in the trenches of church communications. I wanted to take this opportunity to highlight them. Here is a small window into their world.
Seth Muse is the founder of The Seminary of Hard Knocks where they seek to help pastors and ministry leaders gain confidence and clarity to lead their ministry.

They Will Know You Are Christians By Your Facebook Election Day Likes
Today’s the day everyone has been Facebooking about:
It’s Election Day.
For the past several months I’ve witnessed the Presidential race from overseas; and while the ocean separates me from the United States, I have felt the effects of this Presidential Election closer than ever before. Every time I logon to Facebook and scroll through my news feed, I am caught-up into a new and bizarre form of Democracy.
Maybe it’s the Facebook algorithm, maybe I’ve got a diverse pool of friends, but I’ve seen everything from one extreme to the other with third party candidates sprinkled in-between.
Quite frankly, I’ve been disappointed.

Glimpsing the Future: One Foot in the Present, One in the Past
Brand New!
What is it about those two words that causes such excitement in the human mind? Is it because we think that, maybe, the next “new thing” will be “the thing,” the epitome of what we’re looking for?
I do wonder if that’s it, in a broad sense.
Is the excitement over new music because we’re looking for the song that will be express our own spirit’s song?
Is the fervor over a much-hyped book or movie because we’re eager to find part of our story on the page or on the screen?
Possibly.

This Is Eric Dye [Podcast #131]
After 130 episodes, Jeremy turns the interview tables on Eric.
As awkward as it was for Eric to then edit the podcast, we present to you a little interviewed insight into Eric Dye.
(Eric hopes it’s not too boring – Eric also thinks it feels weird writing about ones self in the third person.)
‘None Like Him’ by Jen Wilkin [Saturday Morning Review]
Jen Wilkin is hilarious. I first heard her speak at The Gospel Coalition’s Women Conference back in June. She clearly loves God, his Word, and teaching. Instantly, I was sold.
At #TGCW16 I bought her most recent book: “None Like Him”. It is a relatively thin, teal book with flowers on the cover. I must admit I hesitated. I really don’t like girly Christian books. Pink theology? I hate it. But then I looked closely, and my complaints vanished.
