Pastors and ministry leaders seem to spend much time fighting the powerful and destructive influence of today's media...

While no one disputes the negative impact that media has upon culture, many believers see a greater opportunity.

This highly practical CCN broadcast dares to explore this new approach: How do pastors and ministry leaders harness the power of media to make a positive difference in God’s Kingdom?

Ministry leaders are invited to join researcher George Barna for an in-depth look into the latest Changes and Trends in Christian Media.

From movies to music to software technologies and internet applications, visionary uses of media offer a wider reach and new relevancy in communicating the Gospel to our post-modern culture.

Joining George will be Steve Hewitt and Eddie DiGarmo. Steve Hewitt, a Christian technology expert and Founder of the Christian Computing Magazine, will reveal new technologies that can expand your creative and your administrative resources.

Barna encourages leaders to keep pace with these changes, because "media and technology are constantly morphing into something new... "

Based on Barna's national findings, you'll learn:

• Recent changes in Christian and secular media consumption.

• Recent trends in Christian media resources.

• Implications for the way we "do" ministry.
