On Tuesday, April 20, 2021, Apple released their Apple Spring Loaded announcement video in which they showed off a lot of new tech toys. We saw a set of new colorful entry-level iMacs with the new M1 chips, an incredibly thin design that makes it look like an oversized 24-inch iPad on a stand. Also, they showed off an updated 2021 iPad Pro in both 11 and 12.9-inch sizes. They boosted the quality of the displays and added a Thunderbolt port for high-speak communication with displays and storage.

Apple Spring Loaded – Theotek Episode #002 with Kevin and Rick

My friend Rick Mansfield and I released our second episode of the new and improved Theotek, a podcast about ministry tech made easy. This show covered all things Apple Spring Loaded.

We invited our friends, including Antoine Wright, who works with government agencies designing websites and user interfaces. LaRosa Smith also joined us. He now works as a contract designer of Bible study books for companies like Olive Tree Bible Software. He just published his second book, Bible Study Tips, which carries the same name as his YouTube show, in which he teaches the Bible and how to study the Bible. Here’s one of his videos below:

I’m Dr. Kevin Purcell, a minister, ministry leader, writer, and technology enthusiast with more than 35 years of experience in Christian ministry. I currently serve as Director of Missions for the Brushy Mountain Baptist Association, where I work alongside churches throughout Wilkes County, North Carolina, to strengthen local congregations, encourage pastors, and advance the Great Commission.

Over the years, I’ve served as a youth pastor and senior pastor, and much of my ministry has focused on helping churches communicate the Gospel more effectively. I hold a Doctor of Ministry in Preaching from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, a Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion and Philosophy from Georgetown College.

For more than two decades, I’ve also written about technology, Bible software, preaching, and church ministry. My work has appeared in publications and websites including ChurchTechToday, GottaBeMobile, Preaching Magazine, and iPhone Life. I also create videos and tutorials about Logos Bible Software and other tools that can help pastors and Christians study Scripture more effectively.

KevinPurcell.org brings many of my interests together. Here I write about preaching, Bible study, ministry, artificial intelligence, photography, and technology, with a particular emphasis on helping pastors and churches use technology as a tool rather than allowing it to become a distraction.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple goal: to help build the church of Jesus Christ, make disciples, encourage those who serve in ministry, and help Christians use the tools available to them in service of the Gospel.
