We have been doing a lot of thinking around the office about what church software should look like. Now I don’t mean just graphics and pretty buttons, I’m talking about vision… what should the vision of church software look like. It’s incredible how vision can change everything… completely. We are in a process of reimagining or, might I say, dreaming our vision here at Nspire. Creativity is flowing… new things are happening… and I think God is in the middle of it. I hear from churches everyday and how they use the software; and how they see the software… I am inspired by many of them but some situations I struggle with.
Let me explain…
I spoke with a guy from a Youth for Christ chapter in Wisconsin last week. This guy really has a heart for youth and is PASSIONATE about what he is doing… ministry. This guy could not say enough about how Nspire was helping him in ministry. I want to explain what he meant by help. He was not excited about how Nspire performed every feature under the sun… he was excited about what it did for his ministry. He talked about how it helped him with knowing who was not there and how it was helping them in their Juvenile delinquent ministry. The stories were incredible (i hope to share more later), but most of all you could hear the passion in his voice and the deep appreciation for what Nspire was doing, not what it was as software features, but what it was doing.
I almost jumped out of my seat
I was so excited to hear from this guy. I was excited because he saw Nspire for what it was created to be and what we envisioned it to look like and act like. He caught the vision! So many times we get caught up in so many things we lose our vision. Nspire was not created to be like every other church software, it was not created to be a phone book, or just a glorified excel sheet. Nspire was created with real heart, from real ministers, who wanted something to be real and affect, impact, change, and HELP ministry and ministers. Nspire is more than just church software. Nspire is our heart and vision made real and tangible. When a church purchases Nspire they are not just purchasing our software… they are purchasing our vision, heart, and in a sense… us. We make up Nspire and I can say even if I didn’t work here I WOULD STILL USE IT, WHY??? because I know the heart that is behind it and because it is real and true… it’s what church software should look like.
