    I have a friend in TX who is planting a church near Austin, TX. This sounds just like his plan. He’s a nice guy and he has been a pastor at other modern churches, but he left to plant a church in a fancy part of Austin, a city he has never lived in before and has now taken his young wife and kids to. It seems quite odd to start a new church in a city already filled with churches. It’s marketed as a business which rubs me the wrong way. If you want to be a motivational speaker, then go for it. But there are so many churches out there looking for new young pastors to lead. It just seems like a way for people to use religion as money making business and less like a church.

      Vishal Maraj even if you don’t believe that Jesus was the son of God, you know nothing about history if you don’t believe that the man existed. There is as much supporting evidence of him existing than most other historical figures of that time.

      Yeah agreed my Church has been around for 15 years does not believe that they need to pay for advertisements for people to find out about my Church like how Exponential is advertising the only why people find out about my Church is through word of mouth the fact is if people are going to go to church it's not because they saw advertisement for the church but because god has sent them!

    What a great idea for reaching that unchurched area! Its perfect for the young tech-driven culture there. Reminds me of Paul’s effort to become all things to all men that he might save some. As long as you guys keep the focus on growing in Christ and don’t stray from the word...I think the work will be very successful.

      That is the problem with people that look for a cross, a statues of Jesus, or a symbol of a fish and follow the law like make god see the person as righteous. The fact is the only thing that matters is that a person has Jesus at his or her core because it does not matter if a cross, a statues of Jesus, or a symbol of a fish is there if Jesus is not the core belief then a cross, a statues of Jesus, or a symbol of a fish does not matter

    33. From generation to generation, the Truth has always been with only one living prophet messenger on the earth. He is the one who has the keys of the Kingdom; he is the one who is the way, the truth and the life in his time. And when you open the Bible, you see Isaiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Ezekiel, and so on. They are names of prophets. The truth, it is with a living prophet messenger, and not in a church. But what are you doing therefore with the Bible which is in your hands? If not, is it really for Salvation that you go to church? And yet, if God saves a Baptist, a Pentecostal, a revival church member or assembly of gods, how can He condemn the Pharisees, Judas and Cain?

    Incorporating technology into church is beneficial but I feel like they focus too much on the economic turnout and too little on the actual service itself. The most important part of going to church is the service itself and the Eucharist. Instead of creating a completely new system for church services, maybe start by improving the things that people are mostly complaining about such as shortening the length of a service, using presentations for people with hearing disabilities, incorporating more engaging music for the audience, or using technology as a form of translation for other people attending you service that don’t speak your language. Although it does help to reach non Christians, I don’t think we need to commercialize and capitalize the church to this extent. Instead only incorporate technology in a way that compliments and emphasizes the most important parts of going to church.
