You cannot be effective in ministry today unless you are PROFICIENT in technology/social media.

Not an expert, nor a casual observer, but intentional, strategic, and humble to learn, try, and discard technological tools.

I love what Matt Stauffer, a staff member from Intervarsity, is doing over at Staffhacker. So much so that I’m going to be guest posting there regularly on the topics of technology and productivity.  “One Awesome Place to Capture Your Tasks,” my first guest post, is live on the Staffhacker, but the even easier thing to do is subscribe to the Staffhacker blog.
