Jay Y. Kim: Analog Church

Analog Church: Why We Need Real People, Places, and Things in the Digital Age
(IVP Praxis, 2020)

WHO: Jay Kim, pastor teaching and leadership at Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California.

HE SAYS: “In our increasingly digital world, the church has done what she’s done countless times before—adapted and acquiesced to contemporary culture.”

THE BIG IDEA: Churches need to come out from behind their technology and be human with one another.

THE PROGRESSION: Each section examines its respective topic from the perspective of the digital age and in analog: part 1, “Worship;” part 2, “Community;” and Part 3, “Scripture.”

“People are hungry for human experience and the church is perfectly positioned to offer exactly that.”
