Preaching 2.0: A Tech Twist on the Traditional Sermon

How much room is there for technology to redefine the centerpiece of most Sunday church services? This week we’re embarking on an exploration of how technology can potentially transform the age-old practice of sermon delivery, and we don’t shy away from the uncomfortable questions. We also confront the skepticism and resistance that often accompany technological changes, especially in sacred spaces, encouraging listeners to genuinely consider the possibilities that lie ahead. We ground our conversation in practical insights and real-world examples of how technology is already reshaping cultural practices and look at them through a biblical lens. From flipped classroom models to interactive community collaboration, we’ll explore some innovative approaches that have the potential to change things for the better. This will be an invitation to step out of your comfort zone and consider how technology could not only preserve but enrich Christianity in our modern era.
