Handling Haters of Online Church

The conversation has shifted the last few years with online church. There are less arguments about the purpose of online church and more about the potential. This wasn't always the case. I spent most of the time early on convincing people of the reach. Many would get stuck on the word "online" as a permanent state and not a crawl step to connecting people to a local church.

I've provided a link to a podcast I think is helpful for this topic. I love Gary's approach to the negativity of social media. His tactic can be used for haters of online church as well. Be optimistic about the future. Have hope in humans. Don't think online church will be hinderance to church, but an amazing resource for the kingdom!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the podcast!
