Watch Live Talks On-Demand

Most churches are already recording every Sunday. Very few are getting much back for it.

In this conversation, Thomas Costello of REACHRIGHT explains why uploading sermons every week isn't the same as building a YouTube presence, and what actually drives discovery for a church channel. Drawing on REACHRIGHT's 2026 Church Influence research, he unpacks why YouTube accounted for 53% of the social influence measured across the churches studied, and what that means for a church with an iPhone and one volunteer.

You'll learn:

• Why sermon titles that work in the building fall flat on YouTube
• How to turn one sermon into weeks of content instead of constantly producing something new
• Which three video types matter most for a small church
• Whether Shorts are worth the effort
• How to move someone from watching a video to taking a real next step with your church

Bring a notebook. You'll leave with three things to change this week.

September brings a fresh wave of ministry activity, from small groups and youth programs to fall festivals and community events. But getting people through the door is only the beginning. Churches also need a simple way to welcome first-time guests, onboard volunteers, and help people find meaningful places to belong before the busy holiday season arrives.

Join us for a practical conversation about turning the momentum of your fall kickoff into lasting connection. We’ll explore how Breeze ChMS can help your church follow up with guests, communicate with members, organize groups, and coordinate volunteers without adding more work to your team.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Turn seasonal event attendees into active group members and volunteers
• Create consistent follow-up workflows for guests and members
• Simplify volunteer scheduling and communication
• Use Groups and Mass Messaging to keep people connected
• Build a stronger foundation for Christmas outreach and beyond

You’ll leave with practical tools and greater confidence to keep people engaged, strengthen your ministries, and head into the holiday season ready to follow up well.

AI and algorithms are changing how people discover churches, engage with Christian content, and encounter the gospel online. But greater digital reach does not always lead to deeper discipleship. How can churches use these tools wisely without allowing technology, trends, or vanity metrics to distract from the mission?

Join Ed Stetzer, Ph.D., Dean and Professor of Leadership and Christian Ministry at Biola University, and Corey Alderin, Founder and CEO of Sermon Shots, for a thoughtful and practical conversation about AI, digital ministry, and the Great Commission. Drawing from Ed’s experience in evangelism, church growth, and culture and Corey’s work helping more than 9,000 churches extend the reach of their sermons, they’ll explore how technology can support ministry without replacing the personal relationships at its heart.

Whether you lead a large ministry or serve a smaller church with limited time and resources, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of where AI can genuinely help, where it falls short, and how to use it with purpose.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• Where AI can genuinely support pastors and churches—and where it cannot
• How algorithms influence the way people discover churches and Christian content
• Why digital reach and real discipleship are not the same
• How to use technology without chasing trends or vanity metrics
• Practical ways to multiply your church’s message without creating more work
