Financial Peace University Online

Yesterday, Dave Ramsey’s team launched an online version of their class, Financial Peace University. The first lesson is available for free on their site.

It’s a great setup. There’s access to all of the interactive video lessons, money tools, an online community, and even the ability to download the full lessons via mp3s so that you can listen to them whenever you want.

If you are a Dave Ramsey fan, and you haven’t gone through FPU yet, this looks like a great option (especially if there are no FPU classes in your area). The information alone is worth the price. It’s only $99 for the full 13 lesson course.

Go try out the free session and see how you like it. It’s a great interface and some great material.

Embed Google Maps

After frustrating me for some time with complex API’s and whatnot, Google has finally added the ability to easily embed Google Maps.

All you have to do now is find the map view you want to see, click Link to this page, and you can use the direct link for e-mail or IM or use the html embed code in your web page or blog post. You can even customize the map you want to embed by clicking on Customize and preview embedded map and choosing a few options. It literally couldn’t be any easier.

Here’s an example that took me around 10 seconds to do:

Everything

A friend of mine just pointed me to this video, and it is one of the most moving things I’ve watched in a long time.

Nothing I can say will sum it up better than the video itself.

Death by Ministry

Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church has been posting several video portions of a talk he gave called Death by Ministry (via TheResurgence). Every one of them is full of great stuff. He talks about leadership methods, stress, burnout, health, etc.

Below are links to all eleven parts of the video. If you’re in church leadership (or any sort of leadership for that matter), these are a must watch. Each one is around 10 minutes long, and they’re totally worth every minute of your time.
