T-Minus ten days.

I believe there are good ideas and God ideas. Several months ago I had what I can only describe as a God idea. That idea is about to become reality on 10.05.05.

I promised a blog release ten days ago. This is it. I asked a question: what happens when an iPod gets God? Here’s the answer: GodiPod.com.

The GodiPod.com website will go live in ten days. To make a long story short, we’re going to preload iPods with Bibles, sermons, worship, and audio books. We’ll also partner with conferences, bands, and churches to produce customized iPods. It’s all about win/win partnerships.

The first customized iPod will be a theaterchurch.com iPod that will come preloaded with 1) Top Ten Message Series 2) the Further worship CD produced by our worship band, and 3) The Message//Remix (New Testament).

In a nutshell, GodiPod.com is all about redeeming technology to foster spiritual growth. I like to think of it as digital discipleship or downloadable discipleship.

GodiPod.com was birthed out of my own experiment with spiritual disciplines this year. I started listening to messages and worship on my iPod while I worked out instead of being a captive audience to whatever radio station the gym decided to tune into. It’s spiritual multitasking. I can feed my spirit while I exercise my body. It’s all about redeeming the time.

There are a million loose ends that need to get tied in the next ten days. But I wanted to make it official.

I honestly have no idea what GodiPod.com will become. I think we’ve got it less than 50% figured out going into it. But we have a core value: playing it safe is risky! If you don’t get out of the boat one thing is for sure: you’ll never walk on water! We’re stepping out in faith.
