- In case you missed it, I spent last week at STORY Conference in Chicago. “Inspired” is an understatement. Between the speakers, connecting with old friends, making new ones, bison burgers, and scented environments, this was one for the history books (hiyoooooo!). You can read the recap from day one here and day two here.
- I’ll be launching the STORY Conference live-blog booklet tomorrow morning. It’ll be a beautiful, visual reminder of what each presenter focused on. What was most important. What resonated with the community. I’m excited for you to see it. Thrilled to have Bethel Seminary sponsoring it as well.
- Here’s a look at some of the tweets from STORY.
- Did you like what you heard at STORY? My friend Dave (BAVE!) put together the motherload playlist over on Spotify.
- Is it time to bury the traditional marketing funnel?
- Why is it so stinkin’ hard to work at a church?
- The 47% in one graphic.
- I’m very proud of my MonkDev teammate, Jodi Roberts. She taught her first Social Media Bootcamp last week at our offices in Des Moines. She’s in San Diego this week teaching the same material to a roomful of Methodist church leaders. Way to go, Jodi!
- Sorry for the short update. Busy season until the first week of October!
