Ministry Tech Leaders

There’s way too much Christian negativity surrounding technology. All we seem to think and read about are the dangers and difficulties of the digital revolution. What about how technology helps Christoans?

It seems the discussion of the best ChMS is a lot more emotionally charged than it should be. Although we’re talking about software that impacts our ability to accomplish our eternal mission, we’re still just talking about … software.

“Worship has to work under the glare of cafeteria lights before we add all that fancy stuff.” I am paraphrasing a bit, but the principle for technology in church ministry is clear.

Here's the truth about security vs convenience: The more secure you are, the less convenient it is for the users. The more convenient it is for the users, the less secure your church is and more open to attack.

Only by understanding the other person’s perspective, and by doing that, understanding their perception will you be able to achieve a harmonious working relationship between tech and worship teams.

Live video streaming adds the element of immediacy that can deepen the connection between you and your viewers, but there are pitfalls to avoid.

Machines running Windows 10 — even the latest version of 22H2 (from the second half of 2022, per the version number listed in the OS) — will no longer receive security patches and updates. While Windows 10 will continue to function, it won’t be secure.

I’m all for innovation, but I think it’s time for a serious conversation about those drones and cable cams.
