This is not your typical episode and it is not your typical guest lineup. 

For episode 301 we brought two of the sharpest minds at the intersection of church, research, and technology into one conversation. Ed Stetzer, Dean of Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and one of the most cited church researchers in America, sits down with Corey Alderin, CEO and Co-Founder of Sermon Shots, INC 5000 honoree, and the builder behind a platform now serving over 9,000 churches worldwide. Together they tackle the AI conversation the church cannot afford to get wrong, the state of church decline and what the data actually says, why most churches are wasting their best content every single Sunday, and what it is going to take for the local church to reach the next generation with clarity and confidence.
