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.
In the meantime, watch or listen below to our thoughts on using the iPad Pro.
Hey guys! Neat site that fills a particular niche. I am looking for a PDF Bible, or Bible app that will allow me to mark up and write on the text with the Apple Pencil. Any ideas?
There are several copies of the KJV or other public domain PDF files on the Internet. Do a search for PDF and KJV and you’ll find them. You can also get a version of the Bible for OneNote. You can load it in the desktop version of OneNote, if you have that, and use it on the iPad version by syncing it through OneDrive. It’s at BibleNote.pro.
Thanks Kevin! Best to you in your ministry brother!
