In this episode, TCTC Talk Podcast E4 S1 - Which is it? Examine the Data? Or Trust the Lord?, Jonathan Lonon explores the intersection of data and faith within the context of ministry. He discusses the importance of data analysis in making informed decisions while emphasizing the necessity of trusting in God.

Drawing from biblical examples, he argues that both data and faith are essential for effective ministry in today's digital age. The conversation highlights the Barna report and its implications for church leaders, advocating for a balanced approach that incorporates technology without compromising spiritual principles.

In a way, this episode skips ahead of many topics and even products that we will discuss to put a proverbial horse before that cart! Some Biblical precedence is given to qualify the need to conduct some research when determining your next steps for technology adoption or adaptation.

It may be important to know a few things about the hurdles that you face on the journey. Some of those hurdles relate to your own ministry, some relate to the world that you are asked to go out and reach. Can you identify those hurdles? The more you know, the better your approach or pivot as you move toward the vision and carry out the mission for which you are called. This one gets a little spiritual, but we try to remain elementary so you can see that we really are trying to help.

Now can you help us? Sure you can! Help us spread the word by liking and sharing our podcast with church pastors, leaders, or staff that you know. We really appreciate you for doing so!
