  • After a Year of Practice, Why Isn’t Church Livestream Better?

    Pastors, communication, and media leaders: It’s been over a year since the mandated church lockdowns. Obviously, back then many churches were caught by surprise and needed to do some catching up to make their livestream worship services work for an online congregation.

  • As Churches Go Back, Here’s You Must Not Abandon Your Online Services

    We are seeing the trends, and they are troubling. As churches return to in-person gatherings, they are abandoning their digital and streaming services.

  • British minister shows how not to stream after setting himself alight

    We are often told that we need to be ‘on fire’ for Jesus, but one British vicar took the message a bit too literally. The coronavirus has been a very serious time – and it still is – so we thought we would bring you the video of the minister who got it wrong. Reverend […]
