Taking the gospel global through social

Jesus never kept the gospel in a building. He allowed the word to spread as far as it could go, and it continues to spread faster and further than ever before. In this episode, we get to talk about the church and its forced pivot to think digital from one day to the next due to the effects of the pandemic and how it has benefitted the spreading of the gospel and the church's connections with the community around it and beyond.
