In today's media-saturated world, the Church finds itself at a crossroads. The wave of the media revolution has permeated every aspect of life, reshaping how people communicate, learn, and connect. Yet, many churches remain on the sidelines, unable to engage effectively because they don’t "speak media."
Just like in the past, when those who couldn’t read or write were marginalized, we are now seeing a divide between those who are media literate and those who aren’t. And here’s the reality: if we don’t learn how to speak this new language, we risk being locked out of the conversation altogether. It’s not just about sharing content; it’s about having a voice in a world that communicates through screens, apps, and social media.
As a leader, you know how vital it is to connect with your congregation through different ministry opportunities. Think about this. If we’re not engaging in the digital world—where so many people spend their time and attention—we’re missing out on a huge opportunity to connect, disciple, and expand the Kingdom.
Did you know that 99% of people using the internet remain passive consumers, never posting or contributing? The Church has an opportunity to become part of the 1%—the active content creators who can influence and shape this digital generation for Christ.
This isn’t about jumping on every new trend or doing things just because they’re popular. It’s about realizing that media is a tool—a powerful tool—to engage with people where they are.
So, we’re asking you as fellow leaders: Let’s not be left behind. Let’s learn this new language of media. Let’s explore how we can use it to spread the Gospel, build community, and make an impact in ways we’ve never imagined.
If you’re ready to join the conversation and start learning how to use media for ministry, we invite you to listen to this first podcast episode. Let’s work together to make sure the body of Christ has a voice in our digital world.
