Stephen D. Holder shares his journey of helping churches embrace technology to effectively reach new generations and expand their ministry impact. His work bridges the gap between outdated church systems and the digital world where potential members exist.
• Church visitor follow-up is crucial – people who take time to call visitors back can make all the difference
• Stephen's ministry focus is bringing modern technology solutions to churches still using outdated equipment
• The pandemic forced churches to either embrace streaming technology or temporarily close
• Many churches resist technology upgrades due to cost concerns despite individual members spending freely on personal technology
• Quality matters in digital ministry – poor audio/video quality will cause viewers to disengage immediately
• The Bible itself evolved from stone tablets to digital formats while maintaining the same message
• Stephen's Tech Disciples podcast combines ministry, technology and music to help churches navigate the digital landscape
• The 24-38 age demographic is most likely to independently walk into a church without prior connection
