019 - Does My Smartphone Change the Sermon? A Conversation On Neil Postman's 'Amusing Ourselves to Death'

Is watching a sermon on my phone the same as going to church? Does the device change the message in any way? Shouldn't we be utilizing these devices to reach & connect with people?

Smartphones and the internet aren't going away, & every ministry needs to wrestle with these questions. 

Now a classic, Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, has a lot of wisdom for the world we find ourselves in today.

My guest is Dr. Arthur Hunt, a retired Professor of Mass Media & Communications, and an expert in Postman's ideas.

One organization has even created a Postman Pledge for those who would like to take an extra step in putting the concepts into real life!

Good Ideas for Churches is a joint project between Matt Whitman's The Ten Minute Bible Hour and Eyes Up.
