Blog Author
Bob Hyatt, the Lead Pastor of The Evergreen Community in the city everyone who has read Don Miller thinks they are called by God to plant a church in (but that is another post). Here’s his official bio:

Overcoming a crippling fear of clowns, Bob has pastored in Portland OR, the Netherlands and Durham NC. A graduate of Western Seminary, Bob is slowly, slowly considering restarting a doctoral program he began in 2004. He blogs too much here and here Bob loves his wife Amy, his son Jack, and his daughter Jane, and is struggling to put them ahead of everything else, including this church.

What is this blog about?
Basically, this site is about making you more effective in ministry. By the same token, it’s useful for anyone. There are very few things he talks about that wouldn’t help anyone focus their careers / lives / ministry.

Why do I read it?
This guy gives great little organizational tips and points to lots of little programs (yes, he’s a Mac guy) that can help you get more organized. Most of his posts are very short, which speaks greatly about his ability to streamline his life.

I would highly recommend subscribing to his RSS feed because it will only take you a second to glance at each post and maybe the post you scan on his site could pay you back with minutes or hours of time management / effectiveness tips.

You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
