Q&A with Phil Cooke

Today we launch a new series of interviews with our Center for Church Communication board members over at Church Marketing Sucks. We start with media guru Phil Cooke.

A few Twitter-able highlights:

  • “If we’re not offering the world something they can’t find anywhere else, why should they come?”
  • “There’s never been a more important time to create platforms where a local church can speak into the culture.”
  • “Hollywood is great at making fake things look real, and the church is great at making real things look fake.”
  • “Deliver messages that are so provocative that it starts people talking. Give people a reason to show up.”
  • “Stop chasing relevance. … ‘Chasing relevance’ only makes you hopelessly irrelevant.”
  • “I often wonder if the next generation of worship leaders will be filmmakers.  Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing…”
