The Homeless Blogger: Kidmin for Free
Posted on 26. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
This post from the Homeless Blogger was hosted by my good friend and conference roommate, Matt McKee. Matt and I first met close to 10 years ago when he was at Fellowship Church in Dallas and I was in IN coming to Texas for a C3 conference. We’ve become good friends since then. So, it’s only natural that he would host the next installment of the Homeless Blogger.
This post was fun to write because I feel that it touches on a sensitive topic. With digital resources and crowd sourcing projects, we’ve kind of come to expect certain products and services to be free. Honestly, I love free stuff just like anyone else. However, I think it’s dangerous when we expect everything to be free… because in reality, everything costs something. Read the full article here.

Free Curriculum

Free curriculum! Did that get your attention. I heard about this a while back and thought to myself, “what a great idea!” We’ve been using 252 Basics and My First Look for over two years at Gateway and it’s been a great experience.
Curriculum can be expensive, so this free trial comes as a huge gift. Obviously, Orange would love for you to use their curriculum. They believe it will help your church in your strategy to reach the whole family, something few curriculums do. Over and over again you’ll hear Reggie Joiner say, “It’s not a curriculum, it’s a strategy.” However, even if you end up not sticking with Orange, isn’t it at least worth a shot? At the very least you’ll save money for three months as you won’t have the curriculum expense that quarter.
This offer applies to My First Look, 252 Basics and XP3 curriculum. Even if you’re already a subscriber, they have other gifts to give away. Jump over and check out Orange, it could be the best thing you can do for the ministry you lead.

Free. Apparently it’s how you make money now days!

Something highly unusual has been happening over the past several years. There is no doubt that it is more expensive to live now than it was 10 years ago, but have you noticed how many things we have available today that are now free? I remember when I got my first free web-based email account. My hotmail account had like 2MB of space on it. I seem to recall hitting that 2MB limit every few months and I’d have to go in and clear out all the stuff I didn’t need. A few years later I switched over to Yahoo because they offered 5MB. I knew there was always the option of paying $25 a year for 500MB or something like that. Then, out of the blue Google came along and offered 1GB. For free. No strings attached. The only catch? Google bots would look for key words in your mail and post relevant advertising on the side. I was sold!
