In today's world, it's not just a matter of keeping up with technology anymore—it's a matter of being relevant and connected with people in ways that matter to them.

All organizations—religious or secular—should consider how technology can help them connect with their communities.

Some companies have done a great job of integrating technology into their business. Target is one of the best examples that uses technology to improve how people interact with its brand, increase the frequency of interactions, and better tailor its message to customers' needs.

If Target can do it without sacrificing what makes them unique or compromising its mission—so can the church.

Churches that use technology effectively are positioned to be more relevant and impactful in their communities, and this requires more than just posting content online or having a Facebook page. It must go beyond surface-level engagement to build relationships and impact people's lives.

Our guest, Nathan Artt, principal and founder of Ministry Solutions and Executive Leadership Solutions, joins us to elaborate on how we may take advantage of technological innovations to serve the community better.

He will also highlight some ideas presented in his ebook "Target Corp and the Flexible Church," which can help us rethink how we apply technology in the church.

"Our mission has not changed, but the way that we're reaching people and our methods have changed. I feel like the church of the future is the one who is going to be more in love with their mission than they are with their methods."
-Nathan Artt
