Season 3, EP208: Dr. John Harris, Jared Hughes, and Reaching the De-Churched, Digitally
<p>Season 3 is going strong, as we continue to feature the Humble Disruptors of Digital and Meta Churches. To kick it off, we're talking with two lead pastors of Digital Churches...</p> <p>The US church has lost 25% of attenders over the past 20 years. Many churches are reporting 50-60% pre-COVID attendance is back in the building. 43% of active church attenders do not strongly trust their church leaders. We are seeing a movement in the US, a movement of de-churched people. Let's talk about it.</p> <p>Who are these de-churched people? Are there common characteristics or traits to consider? Why did they leave? What are they looking for? And maybe how can our churches utilize digital to re-engage them.</p> <p>We're bringing in Dr. John Harris, Lead Pastor of Hearts Like His Church (a Digital Church), and surprise guest Jared Hughes, Lead Pastor of Hope City Church (also a Digital Church) in a conversation about recognizing and reaching the De-Churched.</p> <p>If you're enjoying this episode, subscribe for free using your favorite podcast app below:</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-church-digital-podcast/id1457984867" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://anchor.fm/s/9c3c43c/podcast/rss" rel="noopener" target="_blank">RSS Feed</a> | <a href="https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Anchor</a> | <a href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1457984867/the-church-digital-podcast" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Overcast</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1m7zKqEJL1UdY5N6pDVhES" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://pca.st/63s0" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Pocket Casts</a> | <a href="https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy85YzNjNDNjL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Google Play</a></p> <h2>ON THE SHOW</h2> <p>Host: Jeff Reed<br> <a href="http://thechurch.digital/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">THECHURCH.DIGITAL</a> & <a href="http://digitalchurch.network/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DigitalChurch.Network</a><a href="http://thechurch.digital/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><br> </a><a href="http://twitter.com/deerffej" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Twitter</a> // <a href="http://facebook.com/deerffej" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> // <a href="http://instagram.com/deerffej" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a> // <a href="http://linkedin.com/in/deerffej" rel="noopener" target="_blank">LinkedIn </a>// <a href="http://youtube.com/thechurchdigital" rel="noopener">YouTube</a></p> <p>Guest: Dr. John Harris<br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeartsLikeHis" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hearts Like His</a>, Lead Pastor<a href="https://westsidefamily.church/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><br> </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChapFTK" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> // <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/348946029542806/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hearts Like His Community</a></p> <p>Guest: Jared Hughes, Co-Lead Pastor<br> <a href="https://www.hopecitychurch.us/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hope City Church</a> - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hopecitychurchlive" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jared.hughes.16" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Facebook</a> // <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaredlhughes/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p> <h2>RESOURCES</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://digitalchurch.network/joinfam">Join the Digital Church Network: http://digitalchurch.network/joinfam</a></li> <li><a href="https://fam.digitalchurch.network/events" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Events on the Digital Church Network: https://fam.digitalchurch.network/events</a></li> </ul>
