![[Truth] As Told by Jamie](https://truthastold.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/cropped-cropped-JamieInPurple2.jpg)
Almost every church has a video channel. Based on my observations, the two most common video sites are YouTube and Vimeo. This post isn’t a comparison of the two. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all a matter of preference. Most of my clients use both. However, with YouTube being the 2nd most important search engine in the interwebs, I’d like to dedicate the post in how to optimize videos in that little corner of the web. This will be part 1 of 2 posts.
Philosophy of Sacred Space
I stumbled upon Cultivate 2011 through Kem Meyer’s tweet. The whole conference blew my mind. I thought I was the only communications nut who geeks out on comm theories and technologies.. especially when they’re geared towards sending out the most important message of all – God’s love. If you want to know more of my thoughts on Cultivate, click here.
Aside from realizing I’m not so weird afterall (okay fine, I’m still a little bit weird), Cultivate 2011 introduced me to Mel McGowan, president and founder of Visioneering Studios. I admit I didn’t hear much because I was listening at work while multi-tasking. But he did talk about creating relational environments. That piqued my curiosity so I started digging a little bit deeper. Came across one of his interviews about theology of place. You can check it out here.
Finally Up and Running.. Sort Of
This all started in a little corner of the web called Tumblr and a divine prompting. Armed with nothing but a bunch of ideas floating in my head, I just started typing them out as I go along. Well, everything mushroomed to a point that I felt they need to have their own space. Hence, this site.
Filet-o-Fish Sandwich
Scripture: Matthew 14:13-21
It seems like everyone has heard this story in the Bible. 5 loaves + 2 fish + 5000 starving men = 12 baskets of leftovers. Yeah God’s math usually doesn’t add up.
You would’ve guess by now that I’m talking about the time Jesus fed the 5,000 who were following Him around. If you turn to verse 15, you’ll find that the disciples wanted to send the crowds away because: 1) place is desolate; 2) hour is late and 3) they only have 5 loaves and 3 fish – someone’s snack and definitely not enough to feed 5,000 people.
