Nothing like pacing one’s podcasts. This one is about a great podcast mediocre sound quality called Napkin Scribbles with Len Sweet. Len is often called a church futurist, prophet, or, if you like the status quo of living in a church of the 1950s, a pain in the butt. Although we have only met a few times, I call him a mentor and a guide in steering me to some of the best resources and people for navigating a postmodern mission field. Len understands not only where emerging generations are coming from, he understands what the church needs to do if it is to stay relevant. So he spends a great deal of time writing and coaching for pastors.
One way he does this is through a podcast called Napkin Scribbles, a free form reflection done every few days as he has time. Using a portable MP3 recorder, he does his napkin scribbles in airport terminals, hotel lobbies, or any chance he has to switch on. While the sound is not polished, that’s not really the point – the point is real conversation about following Jesus: how some are getting it right, how some are really screwing it up, and what some of us can learn from what Len experiences.
To get this podcast out, I took the same approach and taped this using my trusty digital recorder and then recording it into my trusty MacBook Pro. Not the greatest sound quality but depending on your feedback, something I may try every now and then to shoot out a podcast more frequently. Let me know what you think.
