Join Pastor Matt Higgins and elders‑in‑training Carey Bockting and Ivan McDonald on NorthWoods Church Matters as they examine how technology—from hymnals and overhead projectors to LED walls, livestreaming, and AI‑powered translation—is reshaping church.

They discuss Northwood's recent tech upgrades, spotlight multilingual worship through live translation and ASL, and explore why people turn to online services—for illness, travel, distance or convenience.

But the heart of the episode is deeper: can digital attendance truly replace in‑person community? Our hosts grapple with what it means to participate meaningfully in the body of Christ and encourage listeners to adopt tech without losing face‑to‑face connection.
