SHOW NOTES AND RESOURCES

Where do we do it

• Bible reading

• Less likely to bring a Bible to church or pick up one throughout the week

• Not regular church attendance but have a stable of pastors to choose from

• Working it through social media

Why do we do it

• Bible reading

• Easy access and helps

• Easy access and quality speakers

• Not buy in

Why doesn’t it work

1. Reasons it doesn't work

1. Split attention

1. Most are visual learners, some are auditory, and few are kinetic (everybody is a combination of these things)

1. Highways vs back roads

Why we shouldn’t

• Bible reading

• Low retention rate

• Dr. Russ Moore says Your podcast is not your pastor because pastoring is more than about teaching

• Their ability to be with you in life is directly proportional to your trustworthiness in their teaching. You’re more likely to say “yes i can agree with that” when you physically know the person

• Community is inherently in person
