Live streaming on Sunday mornings is taking up a bigger portion of our church life and community these days as Christians opt more and more for a stay-at-home approach to worship. But what does this cost us and when is it appropriate? Joe and Jordan try to figure it out on this episode of the Sacred Cows Podcast!
