EP223: Leonardo Blair & the Next Future Church

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE CHURCH LOOK LIKE? This is the question we’re asking. Post-COVID we’ve learned a lot of what a church can look like digitally, but how do these lessons help the Church moving forward. You’ve heard us talk about digital expressions of church, but are these social media churches, zoom churches, even streamers doing church… are these opportunities viable? What about the physical churches that are no longer financially viable. As we see potential recession and economical strains, is there potential for struggling physical churches to move digital for a season? What examples are we already seeing of struggling churches that are moving digital for the next season?
