UPDATE!
First, my apologies to the great people at Northpoint – I was just informed by Jim over at churchtechmatters.com that the videos were intended for participants of the 2006 drive conference…I picked up the link from another site on which I’m pretty sure the blogger was indeed a participant…so, I’ve removed the link and made the following editorial changes below…regardless, there are other sites listed below which offer a ton of free goodies to churches (Jim also has a wiki with add’l resources available). As well, Jim also has pulled together a great list of resources that Northpoint has made available for free to churches and I still respect the heck out of those guys in the ATL!
Just found out that Northpoint is making last year’s video sessions available on-line for church leaders – man, you gotta respect the heck out of those guys (that’s north Georgia slang right there…).
One of the country’s greatest Christian leaders is making available the conference from last year which cost hundreds of dollars per person to attend – what a great heart, what a great ministry.
I love the fact that more and more of the Church is going open-source…there are many Christian leaders that are opening up their ideas and making them available for FREE! I love it! Hope we see more of it in the Body of Christ and since I’m in the pentecostal portion of it – I really hope I see it happen within the pentecostal leaders segment…they need to step up to the plate and stop the “ownership mentality” – face it, the fact of the matter is, God’s the one that’s given you the creativity and anointing – please don’t put that on the market. I’m going on notice here as saying that if we don’t see the pentecostal leaders step up and open up, they will quickly see their portion of influence take a nose-dive – something I don’t want to see happen!
Here are the videos from northpoint – check them out as you have time…

Value the Process 
I was listening to a teaching CD on the way to Huntsville this weekend. The pastor said he got a letter saying that he recognized as an Apostle and for $300 he could receive the title … or something along those lines. How ridiculous that the church puts price tags on God given “titles” and ideas.
I’ve started a wiki for church tech resources and there is already a section there for free resources. I would love for your list and the drive videos to be added to the wiki. It’s at
There are some great resources out there already and the more we can add, the better it is for everyone.
So, if you want to add them, that would be cool or let me know and I could add them.
Thanks for posting this, I can’t wait to check out Drive!
oops, apparently I didn’t close the link correctly.
churchtechmatters.pbwiki.com is the address of the wiki.
