When was the last time you saw a tidy, clean church? If you are like me, it is pretty rare. Many churches have junk laying around. Many members see the church as a place where they can drop off their unused furniture. Most of the churches I visit are simply dirty, dark, dingy. What impression [...]
About 10 minutes before the church service was about to begin, I walked around the auditorium to greet visitors and members alike. To my amazement, almost all of the early arrivers had their heads bowed. Upon closer examination, I realized each of them had a mobile device in their hand. They were reading, texting, playing [...]
I got a text message the other day from a friend saying, “Your book is on Amazon.com.” That was a pretty cool, and surreal moment. While there isn’t a book image as of yet, I am hoping the publisher has already sent it, and it will be uploaded shortly. You can buy the book on [...]
My book is soon to be published. I am getting pretty excited about sharing it with church non-profit leaders. This image is the ISBN for my book. It will be available for order at Amazon, Barnes & Nobles online, and through the publisher in about a month.
CRC Identity Spot from Dixit Media Group on Vimeo.
Dixit Media Group just finished this project for Vervent/Church Resource Center. We were tasked in helping them create a 2 minute identity spot that would feature what they do, and help brand their identity. I would love to get some feedback on this project.

It comes in the form of a request [...]
Every year I assign my Public Relations Campaign class a crisis management assignment for their final. How I wish we could have been in session this semester during this historic time. What if anything can we learn from BP in regards to quelling this public relations disaster? Here are some initial thoughts. Keep Your CEO/Spokesperson [...]
In David Kinnaman’s book, UnChristian, he says: “We have become famous for what we oppose, rather than who we are for.” (p. 26) It is easy for the church to become a reactionary institution, simply opposing actions made by the world. The truth is we are supposed to be counter cultural. We are already supposed [...]
On Sunday, June 13 at 9:00 a.m., we will be loading a sea container with well supplies as part of our ongoing connection to Mozambique through Maranatha Volunteers and ADRA’s water project. In this container, we hope to fill the empty spaces with goods that the New Hope Adventist School needs which are as follows: [...]
New guests at worship can help us see things from the perspective of those not as familiar with our church as we are. Last month I reported two findings from a recent Lewis Center project which asked church members in different states to attend nearby churches as visitors and report on their findings for the [...]
