The Revival of the Analog Church: Why Your Church Should Be Personal and In-Person (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781496449092)

In a culture that is starving for presence and becoming weary of screens, the analog church offers something beautifully countercultural.

The analog church is rooted in sacred slowness. It offers people what they can't get from a device. It offers them us. Not our livestream, not our highlights, but our actual lives.

Scripture never rushed. The story of God unfolds with meals and journeys, gardens and wildernesses, decades and generations. Jesus did not post the Sermon on the Mount. He sat down and taught it face to face. When the disciples misunderstood him, he didn't send them a correction via group chat. He walked with them and talked with them along the road. The analog church is not lazy; it is intentional. It is not old-fashioned; it is timeless. It is the antidote to this anxious age.

Discover what it means to be the church in an overwhelmingly digital world. Not the content producer. Not the weekly broadcaster. The church. The people of God, in the presence of God, for the sake of the world.

In Revival of the Analog Church, pastors, church leaders, and church members will:

• recapture the vision for faithful in-person gatherings
• rediscover the sacred slowness of intentional presence
• reclaim the power of discipleship lived out within a community of faith
• resist the allure of smart phones, social media, and other fast-paced technology
• reestablish the priority of people and their relationship to God in your ministry

Your church can be the gathering place where the pace slows, hearts open, and lives are changed.
