iTunes Working Now
For those of you listening through iTunes, you will find subscriptions updating as they should now. Woot! (Big thanks to James@Apple!)
Except for any maverick links floating around out there, this completes our transition to the new server. Lord willing, we’ll be conversing with you again in September.
Murphy’s Law and the Ordinary Means
Matt and Shaun were all set to record one more month on how to pastor the technologically addicted and – wouldn’t you know it – we had technical problems. Only one of us is Irish, but he still blames Murphy.
We encourage you to use this month to catch up on some of our older episodes and, until we see you in September, may the road rise to meet you and may the wind always be at your back.
UPDATE: On another technical note, Apple is now aware of our iTunes problems and we trust they will resolve them in the coming days to everyone’s satisfaction.
iTunes Page Broken
Please be aware that our iTunes page is currently broken. We are working with Apple to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you can get Ordinary Means on your iPod by using the direct download link and dragging the file into the iTunes application. We apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know as soon as we are back up and running.
Technology and the Ordinary Means, Part 3
We are calling this month “Neil Postman Unplugged”. While many know Postman as the author of Amusing Ourselves to Death and Technopoly, he also developed a series of six questions that can help anyone who is struggling to understand the importance (or unimportance) of new media. Join us around the cyber-table as Matt and Shaun begin to consider the effects that the digital age can have on our worship.

Is Gospel-Centered a Good Thing? Part 4
This month, Matt and Shaun conclude a four part series discussing the nature of “Gospel-Centered” churches. Is being Gospel-Centered a good thing? Well, yes, it is — if the Gospel we are centered on is the Biblical Gospel. Have a listen and feel free to recommend us!
Is Gospel-Centered a Good Thing? Part 3
How Gospel-Centered are you? Does your Gospel allow for things like repentance and holiness or do they get pushed aside? This month, Matt and Shaun continue to consider the implications of the cross-centered life.
Is Gospel-Centered a Good Thing? Part 2
Are you still Gospel-centered? Have you converted to Gospel-Centrism? Thinking about kicking the Gospel habit? This month, Matt and Shaun continue to consider the implications of preaching and living nothing but the cross.
Is Gospel-Centered a Good Thing?
You’ve heard the phrases. You’ve read the books. You’ve echoed the mantras: Gospel-Centered. Christ-Centered. Cross-Centered. What do these adjectival clauses even mean? This month, Matt and Shaun take a look at the whole “centered” movement, asking what it’s strengths and weaknesses are, as well as pointing us to where they might lead in the future.
