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.

Near the beginning of the pandemic in early 2020, I spoke with Jay Kim about his book Analog Church. It was a great conversation that you can go back and listen to--episode 131. In his follow-up book, Analog Christian, Jay continues to address how we relate to technology, our devices, and our apps. He talks about how we think we're using our devices, but don't realize that our devices are also using us. I love the wisdom he shares in this book. By the way, Analog Christian was recently given The Gospel Coalition Award of Distinction in Christian Living.  Jay Y. Kim serves as the lead pastor at WestGate Church in the Silicon Valley and on the leadership team of the ReGeneration Project. His writing has been featured in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Missio Alliance, and Relevant Magazine. He lives in Silicon Valley with his wife and two children. In addition to Analog Christian, Jay has written Analog Church, 40 Days through the Book of Colossians, and is a contributing author to a number of other projects. 

A Texas megachurch is facing criticism after a viral TikTok video showed a rehearsal of its Christmas production with drummers flying over the crowd on wires. The church says it's simply offering its best to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Critics say it's an extravagant violation of Jesus' humble spirit. Who's right? New data says Americans are far more isolated and lonely than ever before, and it's not because of Covid. Is the church the solution or part of the problem? And a researcher offers three surprising explanations for why the decline of religion in the U.S. didn't start until the 1990s. Then, Old Testament scholar Carmen Imes answers questions about the book of Exodus. Why did God harden Pharaoh's heart? What does it really mean to take God's name in vain? And how do all of the details about the tabernacle apply to Christians today?

Could your digital or online activity be interfering with your spirituality? On this episode of Flourish-Meant, we explore the concept of becoming an analog Christian with author and pastor Jay Kim. Jay Y. Kim serves as the lead pastor at WestGate Church in the Silicon Valley and on the leadership team of the ReGeneration Project. His writing has been featured in Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition, Missio Alliance, and Relevant Magazine.  Jay describes the importance of reconnecting with life off-screen due the increasing disconnectedness and loneliness of the human condition. He defines the journey of becoming an analog Christian as a process of discipleship while cultivating more hands-on relationships with life and others around us. Following Jesus is intended as an incarnate, human experience. Pastor Kim recounts his exploration of how digital influences affect us. He doesn't reject technology altogether but instead encourages becoming intentional about how we use it.  We discuss the following key points: Technology managing us v.s. how we manage technology How digital platforms influence our mood, self-image, thought content, attitudes, and assumptions about other people Checking whether we are aligning our minds with God's design for the person he wants us to become The benefits of digital fasts or sabbaths Creating healthy principles and boundaries with social media The addictive design of technology Detoxing when you find yourself unable to put the technology down Seeking ways to accomplish each task in an analog, human, relational way Using prayer as a monitoring system Considering the fruit of the Spirit Intentional focus on using technology for God's glory Remembering that God is not flummoxed by the digital age, but has led his people through cultural struggles throughout history Jay references Dallas Willard's book, Hearing God, in which prayer is described as an ongoing conversational relationship with God through which we partner with the Lord toward his redemptive mission. We need to ask God to continually do the work of forming us into Christlikeness so we can become people who live truly fruitful lives. Jay notes that social media isn't quite free. He underscores the reality revealed by Tristan Harris that if something is free to you, then you are the product.  Pastor Kim emphasizes the phrase, "make every effort," as repeated in 2 Peter 1, to lean the direction of our lives in alignment with the Spirit of God.

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

Were you an evangelical kid in the 1970s, 80s, or 90s? Then you may be suffering from the lingering affects of “rapture anxiety.” Why did rapture theology feature so prominently in the American church, where did it come from, and why does it seem so bizarre to Christians today? Then, Russell Moore has a new article on the heresy of Christian Nationalism accusing it of doing to conservatives what the Social Gospel did to progressives a century ago. Skye then talks to Silicon Valley pastor, Jay Y. Kim, about his book “Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age.” Kim says social media is designed to produce the opposite of the Fruit of the Spirit in us, and argues we need to “linger longer” in non-digital, incarnate spaces and relationships to combat its affects.

"What advice would you give leaders – especially those entering leadership for the first time" In this episode, we are joined by Jay Kim to answer our leadership question. Jay serves as lead pastor at WestGate, a multi-congregational church in the Silicon Valley of California. He's the author of several books. Jay is stretching our perspective as Christians on the human need for analog connection and our role as leaders in setting the stage for that human connection we need in a digital world. LESSONS FROM A LEADERSHIP JOURNEY What I have learned is that if there is a tension between going too slow or going too fast, my suggestion would be to err on the side of going too slow. I have discovered that in the moments when we chose to go slow, if we realized that we had maybe gone slower than we should have, there were creative ways that we could do the work to catch up. But in those experiences when I went too fast, the damage done is pretty difficult to undo.” (3:10) Almost always my instinctive reaction or response to a particular situation or circumstance, or challenge or obstacle is always immediately sort of the jumbled mess of my insecurity mixed with wisdom. Lack of experience mixed with my drive. I have found it's worth taking the time to take a deep breath, to walk away, to ask for time when necessary, to not respond right away, to not allow external forces to impose an immediate response or reaction. What I'm trying to achieve is clarity. I just don't want to make a decision until I have some semblance of clarity. (6:35) ADDRESSING THE FRENZY OF LEADERSHIP Frenetic shallowness is essentially the state in which most of us live most of the time, specifically in the digital age. It's frenetic not only because of our digital devices, it's frenetic because we are constantly moving from one thing to the next. (11:16) It's called frenetic shallowness, because that's what our frenzy does to us. It makes us really shallow. It actually just whittles us down to our most animalistic bare bones instincts. (12:46) BECOMING THE NON-ANXIOUS LEADER One of the primary responsibilities of a leader is to be a non anxious presence. If we live in a constant state of frenetic shallowness, we will be nothing but anxious. (15:10) What this demands is that we detach and untether ourselves from the frenzy and the frenetic shallowness that surrounds us.

We had a great time from Advent to Pentecost! We're really proud of this content we're producing! And we want it to be sustainable for the long haul! To that end– we're taking a summer break– from June to August. Expect us back in your podcast feeds the first week of September discussing the Gospel of Luke In the meantime, we'll be working hard to find ways to make this project sustainable for the team– exploring options for funding and listener support. Fill out our listener survey here: Also, we know that many lectionary preachers take a break during the summer– that's us too! If that's your plan as well, here are some things to consider for sermon planning: Topics that need to be addressed—vision, discipleship, prayer, worship, service, etc… Biblical books; only 10% of the OT is in the lectionary, so there's a lot to choose from! Consider shorter narrative books like Ruth, Esther, Jonah, Nehemiah, etc... Interests/struggles of the congregation… lament, spiritual gifts, vocation, etc... Sermon Series: Beatitudes, line by line. Lord's Prayer, line by line. Fruit of the Spirit >>> the book Alicia mentioned is Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age by Jay Y. Kim, out July 26.

Has anyone ever confided in you, “I’m deconstructing”? Maybe you don’t know the phrase, but you know the phenomenon. Yet another social-media post announces departure from the Christian faith. The cause could be sex, race, politics, social justice, science, hell, or all of the above. For many, Christianity is becoming implausible, even impossible to believe. It might be tempting to leave the church in order to find answers, but the new book Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church (The Gospel Coalition) argues that church should be the best place to deal with doubts. Deconstructing need not end in unbelief. In fact, deconstructing can be the road toward reconstructing—building up a more mature, robust faith that grapples honestly with the deepest questions of life.Karen Swallow Prior, Jay Y. Kim, and Derek Rishmawy joined me on Gospelbound to discuss deconstruction and the hope that lies in the person and work of Jesus.Gospelbound Book Giveaway Entry Steps: Write a review about the Gospelbound podcast on Apple Podcasts  (reviews can take up to 48 hours to appear in the ratings and review section, so be sure to check back after that time period to see your review)Take a screenshot of your reviewEmail us your screenshot to podcasts@thegospelcoalition.org  by Friday, April 23We'll pick the first 10 entries on April 23 to receive a free copy of Gospelbound, the book.This episode of Gospelbound is sponsored by The Good Book Company, publisher of Brave by Faith by Alistair Begg.

There are many ways our churches have benefitted from digital technologies and online platforms, especially during this season of Covid. But there is another side to our digital age that we have to consider and take into account or we may just find that the tools we're using are taking us in a direction we never actually intended to go. In this episode, Jessica Powell from our Church Management Solutions team talks with Jay Kim, author of the book “Analog Church: Why we need real people, places, and things in the digital age.” They discuss the values of our digital culture and why we need to be cautious, thoughtful, and intentional about the ways in which we leverage the technology available to us.

Doug and J.R. end season three with an incredible conversation with author and pastor Jay Y. Kim about his book Analog Church: Why We Need Real People, Places, and Things in the Digital Age.

Today people have access to the best sermons and church music in the world, at the touch of their fingertips. So why don’t they just stay home and listen from the comfort of their beds on Sunday mornings? For those of us who are leading church communities, putting forth our best effort week in and week out to craft sermons and songs that might impact our communities, how do we deal with the reality that our people can more conveniently stay home and listen to the Tim Kellers, Andy Stanleys, Francis Chans, and Erwin McManuses of the world—gifted communicators whose content is, more often than not, far more engaging than anything we could come up with on our own?
