When we first started having meetings about the new fresh life website, several months ago, one thing that was very important to our team was the content for the “Know God” page. The purpose of the page is to share the gospel with a person who doesn’t have a relationship with Christ. To be honest, when we were looking at the old site in our creative sessions, I felt like that particular page seemed like it was an after thought. The facts of the gospel were presented in written form and the sinner’s prayer was spelled out but there was no passion, no creativity, no life. It was sterile and uninviting–like a generic brand of cola at the grocery store.

Now I know that the power of the gospel is in the message and I’m not saying things have to be slick for God to use them but we are to give God our best. There is no way I would share the gospel so mechanically if I struck up a conversation with someone on an airplane or in a cafe. So why should we approach digital evangelism without enthusiasm and creativity?

What helped was picturing someone on their computer who had come across fresh life church online late one night and, for whatever reason, had clicked the words, “know God.” With that image in our mind we all of a sudden began to take very seriously the content that was going to go there. It became a matter of life and death. So, we prayerfully and intentionally worked to reach this dude on his dell (in my head he’s on a PC… I’m not saying that all Christians use Mac…but that’s just how I pictured him when I was filming the video) and we attempted to share the life-changing message of the cross with him through this page.

I am really stoked with how it all came together, and I pray that God will use it.
