I met Scott Williams for the first time (in person) at Catalyst One Day several months back, and it was that day when I knew I had to get him on a DoublePop! For those of you that don’t know Scott, he is the campus pastor of the Northwest,Oklahoma City campus of LifeChurch.tv, and is very active on twitter, and his personal blog. One of the qualities I like the most about Scott; is that he REALLY loves people. He enjoys sharing life with people. I like that. Also, his realtionship with the Lord shines through his joy. He is a joy to talk with, be around, follow on twitter, etc. There are so many grumpy Christians out there; so when a met one who shines with the joy of Christ – I like to get to know them!
{This doublepop is pretty long, but it’s jammed packed with good stuff – so grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy! }
I like Tony Steward. A lot. He is one of those rare people that you meet, and from the start you just know that he’s the real deal. And by “real deal” I mean he genuinely loves God and loves people. I like that about him. A lot. He is a thinker. A doer. A good husband. A good dad. A good minister. A good friend. I can’t say enough great things about him – I”m thankful we are friends in “real life,” as well as online. And If we were playing WOW – he would for sure be in my guild! (and if you know what that means your a geek!)
Tony is the online community pastor at LifeChurch, and has LOTS to say about the topic of online ministry. (You will quickly see that he is very passionate about it.) I want to apologize up front for several things about the video you are about to see – 1. The quality – I have no idea what happened, (we were both on good connections) but the quality of this one just isn’t good, so I’m asking you to bare with it.(also, the first few minutes are really broken up – but it gets better, so keep watching. 2. The length – It’s long! I thought about editing it down, but I thought the content was all good, so I just put the entire interview up. (maybe you won’t, but again bare with it!) So sit back, relax, and enjoy a few minutes with Tony Steward!
{p.s. – you can connect with Tony on his blog, or twitter page. Also you can catch “church online” at LifeChurch.tv. – they have church online every night of the week – check out a service sometime, we’d both enjoy hearing your thoughts on it.}
