Mailchimp Snap: A Picture Perfect Email Newsletter Solution

September 15, 2015
by Chris Wilson

If there is one social media which rules above all others, I think email would be a good contender. Despite being one of the first forms of social media on the web, it just keeps going. Other sites and services have risen and fallen but email is still one of those services which everyone uses (even people who don’t use Facebook. Yes, there are still people who don’t use Facebook), has one of the highest read rates, and often results in more information being absorbed by the readers.

With that in mind, it’s no surprise that churches, ministries and missionaries have been using email for a long time to reach supporters, get prayer requests out, raise funds, and co-ordinate.

With that in mind, I found this new app from Mailchimp to be really interesting, especially for missionaries. It’s called Mailchimp Snap and basically it’s an app that let’s you email pictures with text from your smart phone (iOS or Android) to a Mailchimp email list.

Ok, folks, so Apple’s event is over, and we’ve been swamped with tons of info. Here’s a brief synopsis of what I found interesting. I’ll pop in with some commentary in a few spaces, but I’ll try to keep this brief and easy to skim. But no promises.

There will be tons of reviews of the event, and I encourage you to check them all out. (If you’d like to pretend you were there, you could check out MacRumour’s Liveblog.)

The Pastor and the iPad: Introduction & General Productivity [Series]

September 10, 2015
by Phil Schneider

Personal electronics have been all the rage since the smartphone burst upon the scene over a decade ago. I didn’t truly join the craze—unless you count the Samsung BlackJack 2—until 2010 when I got an iPhone for a combination Christmas and birthday present. I upgraded in 2012, on schedule, like a good fanboy, but last Christmas, I decided that my iPhone 5 was more than enough and opted instead to buy an iPad.

While I have enjoyed the device, there have been times when I’ve felt foolish for purchasing it, but then again, more than once, it’s been a huge help to my productivity. That being said, I thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve learned between the two poles of buyer’s remorse.

This will be a five-part series that covers a variety of topics of interest to a pastor in possession of an iPad, though this could apply to any tablet or even a larger smartphone. Before we begin, however, let me start with how the idea of this series was born.

Tech Tools to Supercharge Your Bible Study

When people think about apps for Bible studies, they are almost always limited to just Bible apps. It’s understandable that when it comes to Bible studies, our minds instantly go to Bible apps, but this usually neglects other applications which can cover different aspects that are important for Bible studies.

Well today we’re going to look at apps which can enhance your Bible study that are not Bible apps.

Let’s take a look:

3 Reasons I Love My Tablet

August 6, 2015
by Kendall Lyons

I have gone without an iPad for 3-6 months all because of unforeseen circumstances. I was the proud owner of an iPad Mini. Before that, I owned an iPad 2.

But, I never would’ve thought that I would be the proud owner of an iPad 2 once again. The excitement I felt to finally get one was like that of when I bought an iPad for the first time. I was most excited because I would finally be able to begin work on some illustration projects that I have held back on for a long period of time.

We’re talking comics, concept art, sketches and so forth and so on. And then we can’t forget about the fact that I can finally bring an iPad to church. Can you say “Bible App!”

All of that being said, here are 3 reasons why the iPad is essential for me and you:

How Reading Apps for iPad Have Revolutionized the Industry

August 1, 2015
by Eric Dye

Ebooks are not new by any stretch of the imagination. When the prospect of the eBook was first introduced, there were many who boldly and stated their dissent with the phrase, “I’ve never been excited about the idea of curling up with a good computer.” At the time this was actually quite true; one could not take their computer monitor to bed with them—at least not easily.
