Jonathan Malm helps people uncover creative options for their life and their church. He’s the author of
Created for More, a 30-day devotional to help you develop a more creative mind. You’ll find him in San Antonio, Texas, roasting his own coffee beans and enjoying life with his Argentine wife, Carolina.
I follow a bunch of people on Twitter and Facebook. I truly wish I didn’t. Because every time there’s a new scandal or news story, I see hundreds of opinions. World Vision hires gay employees, I see 200 opinions. Noah’s about to release, I see 300. You name the story, you’ll see hundreds of people…
I’ve realized nearly everything I do is to help people become lazier. CSDI gives people stage designs and shows them how to do it. They don’t have to do their own research, they just get to build. Lazy. Mopho.to makes it easy for people to get blog photos. They don’t have to take their own…
I bought white plates! I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting white plates for the longest time. My old dishes were fine… I frankly got lots of compliments on them… But they made my food look dull. They took the attention away from what I was cooking. You see, I love to make beautiful meals. I love…
I was twelve and living on a ranch. Ya, it was a weird time in my life. One day after school I was walking in a fenced-in field with a friend. We were chatting and enjoying the beautiful day. That was, until we noticed five bulls heading in our direction. The bulls began walking faster.…
Last Tuesday all my websites broke. For about an hour, nobody could get to any of them. I host all my sites on the same computer, and on Tuesday I just got too many visitors. ChurchStageDesignIdeas.com is currently my biggest source of traffic. It sees around 14,000 views/day. The rest are growing, but most only…
If you aren’t familiar with pheromone perfume, let me educate you. Pheromones are the chemicals all living things release while mating. It’s a chemical that’s supposed to stimulate attraction between sexes. And there are a few types of perfumes that (supposedly) make use of these chemicals in their recipes to maximize attraction. That’s what I helped…
Did you know the average book—sold through a publisher—sells around 500 copies. When you take into account the phenomenal sellers that make the New York Times list…that means most books sell less than that. Most sell 400 or below. I wrote a short e-book that sold 500 copies in less than two months. And no,…
I work from home. For some of my friends, that means not wearing pants. All day. It’s a liberty self employment affords to the fortunate few. But not me. Each morning I get ready the same way I would for church. I don a button down shirt, fix my hair, and even wear a few…
In January, I wrote about my new goal for the year. I plan to do less, and to get more results from doing less. That means I’ll be refining everything I do until I’m only doing the things that are most effective for me. I’m stopping a lot of things. But does that mean I…
My wife gave me a brilliant idea. She suggested, each time I visit a church, I share on my blog three things the church did right. I always look for these sorts of things when I visit a church, so it was a great suggestion. I don’t visit churches nearly as often as I’d like.…
