I like what you guys do. I have your blog in my Feedly reader, so I see every post, and I’ve gleaned many helpful ideas and resources that way, But I can’t figure out why you write so much about Star Wars, Dr. Who, Legos and the like. Is there some connection to church tech/ministry that I’m missing? The good thing is it only takes a quick swipe of the finger to skip right past every post I see with one of those topics in the headline. A small price to pay, I suppose, for otherwise useful content.

I think that we write a lot about those things for two basic reasons: we enjoy them and they are part of the larger tech/geek culture that we are immersed in. Paul quoted Greek poetry; we quote science fiction.
Sci-Fi is a cultural barometer in many ways. More than most genres of entertainment, sci-fi explores philsophy, morality, and even theology freely and with a near reckless abandon. Technology is where morality issues are being explored with increasing regularity. We’d be remiss to not pay attention to this and to not present it to you.
Secondly, church tech is fun. We talk about Legos and toys because that’s where many of us started. I played with Legos throughout my childhood, and in fact, my wife, daughter, and I just sat down for some Lego fun on Sunday. When I came to church tech for the first time, it was because it looked fun. It excited that childlike impulse to press buttons and watch the lights light up, to connect this wire with that plug and hope it doesn’t go “boom.”
I understand that maybe the sci-fi nerdy stuff isn’t your thing, and that’s cool. Personally, I work in a fairly stressful environment that often robs me of my creativity. When I see a funny Star Wars video, it’s a breath of fresh air, a bit of stress relief. When I see sweet piece of superhero artwork, I’m inspired by the creativity of a fellow creation of the Creator. If this isn’t your thing, I totally understand that and don’t hold it against. I’d just ask that you give us a bit of mercy for expressing our culture.
Thanks, Allen. We really appreciate your comment.
