While I’m a big proponent of learning new ways of communicating old truths to today’s generation, most of us are not called to jump on to every new trend as soon as it pops up.
Especially in smaller, more intimate church environments, the way we communicate and the tools we use will not change as fast as some of our counterparts in larger, younger environments.
And that’s okay.
