“Praise the good”: a manifesto in the making

Posted November 1st @ 4:23 pm by Andy

One of the most memorable messages at GodBlogCon was a three-word exhortation by Hugh Hewitt. Asked for words of advice for bloggers, he stated simply, “Praise the good.”
Those three words prompted a fair amount of discussion, and the Mere Orthodoxy guys led a good dialogue about it during their workshop on group blogging. What does [...]

GodBlogCon on the Hugh Hewitt show

Posted October 27th @ 5:28 pm by Andy

Right now the assorted bloggers here at GodBlogCon are sitting in on today’s episode of the Hugh Hewitt show. It’s a conservative talk show (you’ve been warned), but rumor has it that a gaggle of Godblog bloggers will be getting featured on the show shortly.

Lunch is over, and the second panel discussion—focusing on “bridging the political divide” in God-blogging—is about to begin. Joe Carter is moderating.

From left to right, we’ve got Mark Roberts, James Kushiner, Joe Carter, and Jimmy Akin—four bloggers well worth reading (and occasionally linked to by yours truly, as faithful TC readers will note.)
The topic under discussion is [...]

New Media and the closing window of opportunity (blogging from GodBlogCon)

Posted October 27th @ 1:27 am by Andy

Tonight was the GodBlogCon kickoff—the speaker was John Mark Reynolds, who launched the conference with a presentation about how Christians ought to engage the New Media, of which blogging is one small aspect.
It was extremely thought-provoking. I won’t attempt to summarize everything he said—that would be too difficult an exercise for my brain tonight, which [...]
