Who are the brilliant people shaping the age to come?
May I suggest some of the people in the following camp. I'm a rookie on these folks, but their ideas are what will diffuse and spread. They have ideas worth spreading (www.ted.com). And ideas that spread, win! Thank you Seth.
These are the voices:
Garr Reynolds, http://www.presentationzen.com/
Sir Ken Robinson, watch one of the most brilliant talks ever on www.ted.com
Daniel Pink, http://www.danpink.com/
Seth Godin, http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
Steve Jobs
Check out Brandon Brown's blog in early Feb. '08 for his musings. http://brownsquirrel.blogspot.com.
These guys know how to speak to a generation that reads in images and has an attention span of that of a 3 yr old on speed. They are the messangers, the preachers, and the orators of our day. Pastors stop and learn. Monologues kill you, and put your congregations to sleep. Your blah blah blah monologues are disallowed. Only 2-way streets are allowed, where both parties are in sync mentally and thinking together. Take minds with you this Sunday instead of Lala Land for 20+ minutes. The above listing are the voices. Listen and learn from what they say, and how they say it. They speak in audible voices, through the web, and in print.
What are the saying? What thread brings them together? How can you win in the future? Be creative! Creative, innovative, creative marketing, imaginative. Brilliant ideas can only survive if you can figure out how to spread them! And in a day of information overload you must figure out how to spread your ideas creatively! Creativity is what will help make you stand out and be remembered. Be remarkable. Be worth someone making a remark about you. Stand out from the noise by using your imagination.

well said nick. I think that we have mistaken a style of preaching (ie monologue) for the only biblical way. The problem with this is in Corinthians when the instructions for worship are given, it seem more like a community dialogue than just a single monologue. No matter how entertaining. So what Seth, et al are saying is really not in any way new to the bible.
