✅ The 5-movement Examen prayer that's transforming bedtimes (free PDF included!) ✅ Why this dad says NO social media until 18 (and the research backing him up) ✅ Simple breath prayers that turn everyday moments into encounters with God ✅ The daily catechism question that reminds his kids of their true identity FULL SHOW NOTES:  In a world where screens compete for our attention every waking moment, how do we raise kids who know they belong to God instead of their devices? Jay Kim, a pastor living in Silicon Valley, shares his family's journey of moving at the "pace of peace" while navigating digital distractions. From practicing the ancient prayer of Examen with his 10 and 7-year-old to implementing radical boundaries around smartphones, Jay offers practical wisdom for dads who want to show up—really show up—for their children in an analog way.  TAKEAWAYS   Moving at the "pace of peace" means prioritizing relationships over plans and never compromising people for productivity The Examen prayer creates a powerful bedtime rhythm: presence, gratitude, reflection, confession, and hope for tomorrow Breath prayers can transform everyday moments—try "God, you control outcomes" (inhale) and "help me to be faithful" (exhale) Digital addiction requires intentional intervention: practice one hour tech-free daily, one day weekly, one week yearly Your kids need to see you detached from devices—dock phones away from family spaces to model analog presence Catechism in daily rhythms reinforces identity: "What is our only hope in life and death? We are not our own, we belong to God" Social media should have age restrictions like alcohol and tobacco—consider no social media until 18 The fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) is the antidote to digital-age discontentment, fragility, and foolishness GUEST  Jay Kim is a pastor in Northern California's Silicon Valley, author of multiple books including Analog Christian and Analog Church, and host of the Digital Examen podcast. He and his wife Jenny have two children and are committed to practicing intentional, incarnational family rhythms in one of the world's most digitally connected regions. Jay's work focuses on helping followers of Jesus navigate technology with wisdom while cultivating deeper spiritual practices.

Since Covid, most churches have whole-heartedly embraced digital. But what are the effects of the digital age on discipleship, community, and understanding the Bible? In this episode, Jay Kim talks about the intersection of digital culture and the church, emphasizing the importance of maintaining analog, embodied practices within the church to foster transformation, despite the informative nature of digital mediums. Kim describes the sermon as a relational exchange rather than mere content delivery, highlighting the role of the Holy Spirit in the act of preaching. The discussion also touches on the secular ideology of the "imminent frame" and the need to reclaim a sense of enchantment and curiosity in faith. Jay Kim also shares some practical analog ideas for engaging with scripture, such as reading it aloud, to counteract the individualistic approaches. Jay Y. Kim serves as the lead pastor at WestGate Church in the Silicon Valley and on the leadership team of the ReGeneration Project. He has experienced the digital church in all its splendor and writes about it in his two books, Analog Church and Analog Christian. Kim's writing has been featured in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Missio Alliance, and Relevant Magazine.

When Jay Kim was four years old, he and his mother moved from Korea to the Silicon Valley. During his upbringing in this new environment, he struggled with feelings of confusion, isolation, and rootlessness that define many immigrant experiences. Despite these challenging seasons—or perhaps even through them—Jay eventually came to deeply internalize what it means to be seen, to be known, and to belong. The seed of faith planted in Jay's heart grew into a full-blown passion for ministry, which he now shares through his work as the lead pastor at WestGate Church. The perspectives he has gained over the years have led him to publish two books with IVP, Analog Church and Analog Christian, which explore the ways that the digital age affects the life of the church and Christian discipleship. Both books have received awards from The Gospel Coalition.In this episode, we highlight the following themes:How Jay's ethnic identity journey influences the way he sees the worldJay's faith story from childhood to young adulthood, and his eventual calling to ministryThe experience of writing and then releasing Analog Church at the start of the COVID-19 pandemicLinks from this episode:Learn more about Jay Kim: jaykimthinks.comStart your learning with streaming video courses from Seminary NowAbout the Guest:Jay Y.

Can you strap on VR goggles and go to church in the metaverse? We asked the author Jay Kim of Analog Church and the pastor DJ Soto of Virtual Reality Church to argue all the wrongs and rights. Finally, an episode where Adam & Chris aren't the ones doing all the fighting! To be fair both these guys are pastors so the debate is probably more of mild-mannered discussion, but it covers some important ground about what it means to be the church, and what the future of the church might look like. VR CHURCH—PASTOR DJ SOTO DJ Soto, Bishop & Pastor or VR Church D.J. Soto began preaching in the metaverse in 2016. Originally thinking he would plant physical churches, he soon realized a new vision to plant churches in the metaverse. He is now the Bishop of Virtual Reality Church and MMO Church, which are futuristic church expressions that is intended to be radically inclusive and consistent with Christianity's long history of adapting to new forms of media.

In the digital age, it feels like life moves too far, too fast.That's why we need wise guides such as Jay K. Kim, author of Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age. Jay writes, “This is where we are in the digital age, existing in an untenable state of unceasing connection to the curated lives of others—all of their highlights, none of their low-lights.”Perhaps the simple solution would be to spend more time offline. But our colorful smartphones make the real world look grayscale in comparison. Jay writes, “Because much of life in the real world is uncomfortable, awkward, or boring, so we opt for digital escape. We increasingly prefer and default to worlds of our own making.”You might know Jay from his previous book, Analog Church. He is lead pastor of teaching at WestGate Church in Silicon Valley and teacher-in-residence at Vintage Faith Church in Santa Cruz, California.

Lead Your Leaders
Unnecessary Isolation In Leadership

Lead Your Leaders

You've probably heard, “It's lonely at the top” and as a leader, you've probably felt it even if you're not at what might be considered the “top”. Leadership can be very lonely and isolating. And, it's not often easy to find the advice and support you're looking for.  A few years back I did an informal survey of 35 leaders in ministry about their biggest challenges. I expected "overwhelm" to be #1 because that's another one I hear a lot and it was a close runner up, but the actual top challenge was feeling isolated and alone in leadership!  If we are isolated and overwhelmed – that's a tough combination. It's no wonder leaders are tired. With so many leaders in the same situation – it ought to be easier to bring leaders together to support each other.  In fact, Jay Y. Kim, author of Analog Church and Analog Christian AND our guest on Lead Your Leaders in episode 35, talks about the value of being surrounded by community as a necessary foundation to be a non-anxious presence in an anxious world. One of the gifts we can give the world as leaders is our presence. And if we are holding on to that isolation and overwhelm we are going to engage the world with an anxious presence even if we don't realize it.  So, what do you gotta do to get started? First, prioritize it – make time in the busy of life to look for your community. Second, take the leap to check out new relationships or communities of leaders even if the first “connections” don't work out.   Get started with a few of these resources: Lead Bold a connecting ministry for women in leadership with online and in person opportunities to join with peers in ministry. Lead Bold conference, November 3rd and 4th in Chicago IL for women leaders to be inspired and learn together. I'll be there teaching a breakout session! Amplify Mission Network, Leadership Academy for learning cohorts for middle managers in nonprofit organizations and Executive Directors. Check out networking groups and learning opportunities for other leaders in a similar ministry role.  In the past, I would dismiss opportunities like these because I believed my to-do list was more important or I was more responsible for the relationships I needed to steward than finding relationships that would support my leadership. Now I have and the mentors that speak into my life save me time with advice better than what I would have thought of on my own. They inspire, challenge and encourage me when I get a little flat and start questioning if I can do the thing I'm doing. They remind me of truth when my confidence falters. There is such richness that comes from good community that you really can't quantify it.  LINKS TO CHECK OUT: Send your question HERE – in writing or by recording Lead Bold and the Chicago Conference, November 3rd and 4th Amplify Mission Network Learning Academy Episode 35: A Non-Anxious Presence in an Anxious World Learn more about Annie

Right in the center of Silicon Valley, the fountain of technology and digital life a few pastors come together to discuss what it is for the church to be a "place to be human." If that resonates with you or maybe it seems a little strange. This conversation dives into the discussion of what it is to be human, and why the church is the place that God intended for humans to not be more digital, but rather it is the place where we realize both what we were made to be as well as what God is remaking us to be - Human. This discussion was between Bob Bixby, Scott Dunford and Jay Kim. Each of these men are church planters and pastors in the Silicon Valley. A lot of great thoughts and ideas are shared here for the church and church leaders to consider in a time when we have had to resort to technology for community and people engagement. But is technology the future for us as humans as we are thrust into a world of digital and virtual reality? Redeemer Church of Silicon Valley is the church where Bob and Scott co-teach. Westage Church is the church where Jay Kim is the Teaching Pastor. He is also the author of the book Analog Church (use SURPRISEDBYLIGHT for a 30% off discount).

For 2,000 years of Church history Christians have gathered together in real space and time for the purpose of worshiping God corporately through singing, praying, preaching, teaching, mutual edification, and participation in the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper. Many prominent voices argue, however, that this type of in-person experience will soon be outdated and outpaced by digital platforms. Indeed, they contend that church leaders who do not move forward with this trend will find themselves spiraling into irrelevance. But on this episode of Sword & Staff, Joshua and Drew have a conversation with Jay Kim who is a pastor in the digital tech capital of the world, Silicon Valley itself, and author of Analog Church: Why We Need Real People, Places, And Things In The Digital Age.

So many of us are overwhelmed in this season. We're facing waves of uncertainty, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, fear... this is a season fraught with turmoil. It's in these times of upheaval that we need more prayer, not less; more spiritual practice, not less; more contemplation, not less, so that we may stand in the face of uncertainty and anxiety confident in the presence of our Creator, filled with his love and mercy. We have long sat in the historic practices of spiritual formation as a community. These concrete practices and meditations help us anchor our hearts in something deeper than the news cycle. We don't need more content or ideas, we need to be graciously guided into holy spaces where our Creator can do what only love can do. Why? Because we're in this for the long haul. Without a stronger connection to God our efforts will fizzle out and fade away as our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls break down under the weight of the work. Together, let us try these practices at home. Let us sit with the holy and be guided well into he presence of God. Jay lives in Silicon Valley. He is a pastor and an author. His recently published book is called Analog Church, available on Amazon.

Welcome to The WorshipWorkshop Podcast, where we help you grow a stronger team that leads engaging worship. An Interview with Jay Kim Back in January, when few of us ever dreamed that COVID-19 would shut down our church buildings, I recorded this conversation pastor and author, Jay Kim, about his book, Analog Church: Why We Need Real People, Places, and Things in the Digital Age. In this book, and during this conversation, Jay sheds light on how technology and the pursuit of relevance is damaging the church. However, this book and this episode are releasing in March of 2020, when all we have is "digital church" when it comes to gathering for worship. Don't think for a moment that this discredits what Jay is saying. I believe our current situation will amplify his message that digital is and will never be enough. Technology is a tool, and in many ways, a powerful tool. But it can't be a substitute for gathering, participating, and communing together. Be sure to listen to the end of the interview, because Jay recorded additional thoughts about Analog Church and the times that we're living in.

We live in a culture that is largely driven by technological development. The digital age is here, and it has brought us unprecedented access to information and to people. The values that drive this culture are speed, choices, and individualism. We want what we want now and in our own way. And for the most part, many of the technological breakthroughs we enjoy are great. Social media allows us to connect with friends and families across the world. The internet and podcasting platforms have allowed us to bring education and opportunities to learn to those who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. But have we stoped to ask if all this technology is benefiting the church? Have we let the values of the digital age erode the Mission and values of the Church? Is our technology keeping us from connecting with others and doing the deep work that is required for discipleship? This is why we wanted to Jay Kim about his new book, Analog Church.
