COVID-19 forced online church to go from optional to essential. For some churches, that transition wasn't challenging. For others, it opened up a whole new world. Every church, though, faces the challenge of 100% digital connection in the short term at least.

What did you learn during the first week of leading a fully online church during the coronavirus shutdown?

That's what we asked Mark Venti, executive pastor at Churchome, a large faith community in Seattle pastored by Judah and Chelsea Smith. Mark joined us on the podcast for this second episode about church during COVID-19.

What we talked about:

• Why Churchome was broadening its platform long before COVID-19 struck
• What midweek connection looks like at Churchome right now
• How Churchome is connecting with new viewers, people who are linking up for the church for the first time online 
• What lessons Churchome has learned in the last 2-3 weeks and what changes they've made as a result
