Show Notes
To help us talk about using digital platforms as a tool for reaching especially young people with the gospel, I have asked Cory Ball, one of our new Converge Midamerica pastors, planting a church in St. Louis. I knew I wanted to have Cory share with us when he shared at a meeting I was at, that Generation Z (under 25 year olds) will not come to our church personally, until they come to our church digitally. That statement really hit me. But here is what I’ve learned about Cory. He isn’t just good at technology, he sees technology as a critical tool God has given, to see people, especially young people, reached with the gospel. So, Cory, welcome to Advance. I’m glad you’re here man.
· Give me the 2 minute Cory Ball and Redemption St. Louis story.
· Help me understand how culture has changed in regards to reaching people to come and check out our church?
· How do we think through using digital formats to reach people, with the hopes that they may “check us out”?
· What are two or three ideas you could give me to help us think better about using digital formats for reaching people, especially for those who are thinking that their flip phone is pretty trendy?
