I recently wrote a blog post titled, Should I Use Canva for my Church? And to be honest it was hard for me to write that post as a professional graphics designer. Here is why: because graphic design is becoming a commodity that anyone can do at any price, and the industry has become a race to the bottom. But it was also difficult because of my personal insecurities as a designer. I’ve been thinking about what being a graphic designer means today. I have a lot to unwrap here so let’s get right to it.

Linus Tech Tips Agrees Android Is Better! [Videos]
Where are all my Android people out there? For those that do not know, I am an Android fan for more than one reason. I’ll be honest, I’ve watched the video and while there is satire here (which makes him SO VERY fun to watch), there is so much truth in this. So, can I make the claim Linus Tech Tips agrees Android is better? It is definitely entertaining!
I don’t really care about the customization or a couple other features he talks about. Surprisingly, the file system is important and the open software is something I really do support. But the built-in Google Assistant? Yeah, that rocks.

Virtual Reality Church [Video]
We’ve gone from churches in the barn to air-conditioned buildings to full on-stage performances and now we can live stream and tithe towards our church from the comfort of our own home. The next big technology being touted for churches is Virtual Reality which I have talked about a couple of years ago and we discussed on the podcast.
Some churches have already bought into it and the Bible Museum in Washington D.C. even has a virtual tour you can go through to see their location with a unique perspective of the Bible.
