I have hit my first real road block and it is a silly one….

Here is the short story….

At Epic Church I have made the decision to “market” our Sunday gatherings on the big screen.

1. We are meeting in the very theaters we want to advertise in.
2. It is a captive audience.
3. It is like having a sign at your church location. Even though the church is not a building but the people.

But to be honest with you this process has been so HARD. I am stressed about it and ticked.

Our sales rep didn’t take us serious enough to get things rolling in time for our Easter Launch so our ad won’t start until the 28th of March. Oh well…. we are in it for the “long haul” as they keep telling me.

Then all these little things (restrictions) that can’t be used. For example, video. We were told that it could be used in an animated ad, but really it can’t. You have to have a live action ad and that costs more money to produce.

You can’t have a “call to action” for text messaging. For example, we wanted to have people text the word, X to some short code to interact with them. Oh well…

Ok enough venting. Because this morning at the “office” AKA Starbucks, I had a wonderful conversation with a fellow partner and he shared a verse with me. Romans 15:13. Good stuff.

Lesson for the day. People matter much more than stuff!
