Book Description
The Digital Pulpit The COVID-19 global pandemic has forever changed the world and impacted the Church in significant ways as well. In The Digital Pulpit, Nolan W. McCants presents recent historical perspectives, notes some observations and offers some suggestions on how the Church might navigate this period. While some churches were prepared better than others, most every ministry has had to shift from the familiarity of physical spaces, to the unknowns of the digital world. This has challenged the church to consider the way ministry is executed, specifically, how technology is employed, while maintaining the integrity of biblical patterns. As this pivot has been made, many churches world wide, are seeing unprecedented spiritual growth in these virtual spaces. There appears to be an accountability shift, where people are taking greater responsibility for their own spiritual development. It's a good time for the Church to reflect and reassess her impact and how this forced immersion might be leading us to a place of needed reformation.

Beyond Sundays
Author: Wayne Jacobsen
Publisher: Blue Sheep Media
ISBN: 9780983949190
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
People are abandoning our religious institutions in droves. In the last few decades sixty-five million Americans who once attended a local church, no longer do. About half of those no longer self-identify as Christian, but over thirty-one million still do and are seeking a more relevant faith beyond Sunday-morning Christianity. What do we make of this exodus and how will it affect the future of the church? Does it portend the end of Western Christianity? Wayne Jacobsen doesn't think so. Having met with thousands of people around the world who are done with religious institutions, he is more hopeful than ever that this phenomenon might help revitalize the church Jesus is building. Whether you attend a local church or you're done with it, how we respond will have repercussions for generations to come. This is our opportunity to embrace God's work in a wider way than any single institution can contain.

Healing the Gospel
Author: Derek Flood
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621894215
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
Why did Jesus have to die? Was it to appease a wrathful God's demand for punishment? Does that mean Jesus died to save us from God? How could someone ever truly love or trust a God like that? How can that ever be called "Good News"? It's questions like these that make so many people want to have nothing to do with Christianity. Healing the Gospel challenges the assumption that the Christian understanding of justice is rooted in a demand for violent punishment, and instead offers a radically different understanding of the gospel based on God's restorative justice. Connecting our own experiences of faith with the New Testament narrative, author Derek Flood shows us an understanding of the cross that not only reveals God's heart of grace, but also models our own way of Christ-like love. It's a vision of the gospel that exposes violence, rather than supporting it--a gospel rooted in love of enemies, rather than retribution. The result is a nonviolent understanding of the atonement that is not only thoroughly biblical, but will help people struggling with their faith to encounter grace.

From Social Media to Social Ministry
Author: Nona Jones
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310104017
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This book outlines digital discipleship principles for building an online community and provides practical instruction for how to do it no matter how big or small a local church may be. There are more than 2.3 billion professing Christians in the world and more and more new churches launching globally, yet statistics show that in-person church attendance is declining or plateauing in every nation. Although social technology has been around for more than two decades, church leaders have long bristled at the idea of church online, ranking it as the last concern on their minds in Barna's 2020 state of the church report published February 3, 2020. And then, three weeks later, COVID-19 closed the doors of every church on earth and suddenly forced them entirely online. Nona Jones, a globally acclaimed thought leader on leveraging technology for ministry, had been leading a movement and sounding the alarm for several years to make digital discipleship a central part of every church’s ministry approach. In From Social Media to Social Ministry, she outlines her digital discipleship principles and provides practical instruction for how to do it no matter how big or small a local church may be. There are plenty of books to help churches build a social media strategy, but this is the first book of its kind that goes beyond digital marketing to digital ministry. Readers will leave this book with: Clarity on what discipleship truly is The data that underscores the urgency for digital discipleship Understanding of the resources required to do it well A step-by-step guide on how to implement digital discipleship into ministry plans Knowledge of the differences among and purposes of the most popular social platforms, as well as the tools best positioned for digital ministry
