Lessons from a hybrid worship service w/Ryan Wakefield - Season 1, Ep.10
Tuesday May 03, 2022
Tuesday May 03, 2022
In 2021, Ryan Wakefield and the Church Marketing University team did something bold. Instead of continuing to talk about what a hybrid worship service would look like, they decided to create one and see for themselves.
Because everybody knows that when it comes to hybrid worship services and vegetables, your mom wants you to try it because you might like it.
What would it look like if both the digital space and the face-to-face worship were seen as equally important on Sunday mornings?
Imagine that no one can tell you "no" and suddenly, you DO have the money and manpower to make it happen. What would you do? Get rid of that organ, that's what. But then what?
Well, we did it and we learned a ton. In this episode, Ryan and Seth talk about what went well and not so well in our test of all these theories in real-time.

What would it take for your church to embrace the digital space just like you do the face-to-face as a legit ministry? How would you even do it?
If you're kicking those kinds of questions around, this episode with Jason Moore will help you process the practical side of running a hybrid ministry. He calls it "Both/And" and his new book by the same title lays out the framework.
We talk about Both/And (physical and digital) ministry, church communications, and more in this episode of The Seminary of Hard Knocks!
