Church Social Media Strategy: Key Question?

Church Tech Today shares “The One Question Your Church Social Media Strategy Should Answer (But Probably Doesn’t)” (8-minute read), arguing that most church social media team fatigue is a strategy problem, not a content problem. The actionable core: pick one primary objective (e.g., awareness, first-time guest confidence, congregational connection, event participation, or sermon extension), define what “success” looks like, and let that filter Tuesday-morning posting decisions.

AI-Generated Worship Songs?

Religion Unplugged shares "As AI Music Climbs The Charts, Church Leaders Urge Caution And Discernment" (6-minute read), exploring the theological tension of "soul-less" worship as AI artists like "Solomon Ray" hit the music charts. The article highlights perspectives from worship pastors who caution that while AI can assist in production, the "words written on the page" and sung in congregational worship should remain a deeply human offering.

Best Church Technology Conferences in 2026

The Lead Pastor curates “The 13 Best Church Technology Conferences in 2026”, providing dates, locations, costs, and why each matters for worship tech, media, IT, and leadership teams.
