Our journey from the limited use of technology to the now advanced, multifaceted use of digital tools in the church is indeed a remarkable one. Come share the laughter, challenges, triumphs, and a bit of history with my guest Banks Glover: an invaluable member of my church and a life-long technology enthusiast that has been volunteering his skills for since before the turn of the century. In this candid discussion, Banks shares his fascinating journey of introducing the first computer into Central Baptist Church of Newnan, Georgia in 2000 and the transformative implications that followed.
During our conversation, Banks takes us down memory lane from the days of long optical lenses to the current age of digital and streaming technology. He explores the significant contributions of technology to the church, how it has revolutionized our services, and the importance of maintaining a balance with traditional elements.
As we reflect on these strides, we delve into the impact of advanced technology on church services. With the aid of streaming services and cutting-edge software, the church has seen a drastic shift in its technical operations. As Banks points out, our church's output can match any other, barring a few mega-churches.
Before we wrap up the episode, we take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our supportive listeners and discuss how you can contribute to the show. I hope you enjoy this captivating and insightful episode that explores the intersection of technology and faith.
