I've come to realize that nobody steps on a scale and realizes they've literally gained 100 lbs in a night. Almost no one looks at their bank account and says, "I swear there was $1 million in there yesterday and now it only has $21.83." No, change happens slowly. Why are we so surprised that positive change happens that way, too. What if you did something small today AND tomorrow AND the next day too? What if you never quit your little positive habit? What would your life be like?

On today's Tech, No Babel: Troubleshooting Techniques: Asking "What changed?"
When you run into a problem, it's always valuable to ask, "what changed?" There's a risk there, too. It's easy to blame recent additions that have nothing to do with the core problem.

I'm in the Official ProPresenter Users' Community A LOT. I don't comment on every post, but I DO see most of them.
Sometimes, I see the same questions over and over again. That's why I made today's tutorial.
It's easy to make this mistake. When you apply a new theme or an alternate theme, and there's two instances of the slide text, what went wrong?
Watch this video and learn not only what's wrong, but also how to fix it when you DON'T want to show the main text and it's showing anyway. Click here to watch the video and find out more: https://youtu.be/6F49ykpqWjU

This is the unboxing of my 2017 13" MacBook Pro (no touch bar). It's so much faster than my mid 2010. Glad I got it.
Note, this is an Apple certified refurbished MBP and as I expected, it was flawless. Glad I pulled the trigger on it.
I've been using a Mid-2010 13" intel Core 2 duo Macbook pro since early 2011, so now that it's the end of 2017, it's time to upgrade.
Come back soon for more church tech tutorials (especially ProPresenter and live-streaming ones).

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech On today's Tech Help for Churches: An app or a responsive website?
Should your church create a responsive website or a smartphone app? It's kind of a trick question because I think you should do both, but if you don't have the resources to do both, which should you do first? There are some pros and cons to weigh as you decide and we'll talk about those today.
Apps have a lot going for them:
Visibility: The number of apps in total or for a particular platform in general is much less than the total number of websites. Even if you do good SEO, it's possible to end up far enough down the page of search results that you're basically invisible to most people online. It's easier to be seen in the various app stores.
Perception: Like it or not, people will view a church with an app as more cutting edge, with it, hip, etc., than one that doesn't have an app. If you're looking to attract younger people, it might be worth the trouble to get an app for just that reason.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/church-tech How to put persistent video over all of your slides
[tweet "Just in time for Christmas: Here's how to put a video of falling snow over all your slides in ProPresenter 5:"]
I've shown you how to add a video with transparency to one slide, but how do you do it with multiple slides? It's really not that hard. Here's a hint: It's not a background or foreground video.
Watch the video for more.

http://TrinityDigitalMedia.com/ctcqa On today's ChurchTechCast.com Q & A, Church Tech questions on: Mailchimp, live-streaming speed, and hearing assist
Here are the latest questions:
Dan via email,
Hi Paul – I have a question about church email that I was hoping you could answer. Our church currently hosts their website and email with InMotion. For the most part we are happy with them but they have a limit of 50 emails per mass mailing so this is a problem. Is there a better way to host church email so we can do mass emails easier?
