What to do when your Lead Pastor is hesitant on Church Online

Even though more Churches than ever have an element of Church Online these days, there are still some Lead Pastors and Leadership Teams who are hesitant to start doing church online for our Church. There are a variety of reasons why they feel this way.

I have heard a bunch of these over the years and so has Jeff Reed. That is why I invited him back to the podcast. Jeff has been on the forefront of using online tools to reach people for Christ being a former Online Pastor who now leads up The Church Digital. He joins me today to talk about what to do when your Lead Pastor or Church Leadership is hesitant to start up Church Online for your Church.
