I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve kept my ear to the ground (and my Google Reader) about the all the new Android handsets that are being released.

The truth? They are getting super sexy. I mean, they are beginning to look way better than the iPhone. Am I a sucker for amazing industrial design?

Yes. Take a look at this one for example…

Are you a super-nerd? Love your iPhone handset that much?

More and more churches are discovering ways to stream sermons live to mobile devices like the iPhone. At first blush this seems like a terrific benefit to the body of Christ. Surely this is just another point of connection, right?

Believers that can not make it to a Sunday morning service  due to work or family or unavoidable circumstances are still able to engage in worship, experience relevant teaching and wisdom, and even celebrate baptism with church family members.

This is connection where there would otherwise be no connection, right?

Maybe not.

This is the year of mobility. In fact, every year it’s getting more prevalent and ministries are beginning to take seriously this avenue of traffic, awareness, and potential.

But the most important question is whether or not your ministry is ready to take that step into the world of mobile-ready websites.

Here are 3 ways (among many) that have helped me counsel a ministry that they might be ready to jump in the deep waters of mobile:

I blogged recently about the extremely important relationship between excellent content and distribution and how you need both to be successful and how it impacts SEO.

I think TwitCasting, a new service that lets you stream live video and tweet simultaneously is a perfect case study of why this paradigm is true.

Essentially it’s this: Live video is neat but if no one views it then you’re wasting your time; you need people to watch it!

There are already tons of services, applications, and even Wordpress Plugins (15+ here!) that’ll make your site mobile-ready. In fact, there will probably be 10 more by the time I finish writing this article…

But here are 5 that I’ve noticed (and tried) that aren’t too bad; in fact, they are quite good.

Take a look:

You know, there’s always a cost associated with the technology that we use. I think it’s never been more apparent than with the big Four Square and Gowalla craze.

You see, as one site has figured out, the moment you check-in anywhere but your house you’re instantly a target for theft: PleaseRobMe.com.

Wow. Yes. Really.

According to a recent study social networking on mobile devices is now more popular than social networking through your desktop applications:

91% of mobile phone users go online to socialize compared to only 79% of traditional desktop users.

Mobile phone users are 1.6 times more likely to manage finances compared to traditional desktop users (62% versus 39%).

Mobile phone users are 1.4 times more likely than traditional desktop users to rally support for a cause (67% versus 47%).

Wow. This would put a much larger emphasis on putting resources to your mobile development team than ever before, right?

With our lives circling ever-so-much closer around our mobile devices, it seems there really is an app for everything.

Jesus Evangelism Tool confirms this with the introduction of an app designed to help Christians:

BE READY AND EQUIPPED with a comprehensive evangelism tool for discussing and responding to basic questions about the Gospel and Christianity.

But here’s the catch…
