The Rich Martin Podcast | Episode 39 - Innovating Church Engagement in the Digital Era: Pete Wilson
This podcast episode features a deep-dive conversation with Peter Wilson, a great friend and also a digital disrupter in the faith, church and well-being space! We cover many topics including The Four Cs of Church Focus: Cathedrals, Content, Crowds, and Control, The Digital World's Challenge to Traditional Church Models, Innovating Church Engagement in the Digital Age and Modern Management vs. Old Style Leadership in Churches. Pete has some gold insights into these topics and I really, really enjoyed the conversation! 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast: A Deep Dive with Pete Wilson 01:20 Unpacking Pete's Journey: From Church Pastor to Digital Innovator 02:33 The Evolution of Pete's Career: Worship Leading to Digital Space Leadership 05:37 Navigating Change and Innovation in Mega Churches 08:17 The Frustration with Tech in the Christian World 11:24 Exploring the Cost and Impact of Tech in Faith-Based Initiatives 16:14 The Intersection of Wellbeing, Faith, and Technology 22:04 Launching Neighborly: A Positive Social Media Venture 26:09 Exploring the Church's Digital Dilemma 26:23 The Four Cs of Church Focus: Cathedrals, Content, Crowds, and Control 27:15 The Digital World's Challenge to Traditional Church Models 28:29 Innovating Church Engagement in the Digital Age 28:39 Modern Management vs. Old Style Leadership in Churches 29:53 Shifting Paradigms: From Control to Service in Church Leadership 30:53 Understanding and Meeting the Felt Needs of the Community 31:16 Redefining Church Success: Beyond Physical Attendance 32:32 Leveraging Digital Platforms for Genuine Engagement 46:18 A Case Study: Transforming Church Engagement in Aberdeen 53:08 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions 👉 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ORbZlxNwHlI-xpL7Yi9hg?sub_confirmation=1 ** The Rich Martin Podcast ** Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rich-martin/id1510139697 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0NT4ausjFsFmiXwaSnVRUZ Other Players: https://anchor.fm/rich-martin ** Other Links ** Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richmartinuk/ Web: http://richmartin.co.uk Articles: https://linktr.ee/richmartin --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rich-martin/message
