How are you (really) doing right now? That's probably the most meaningful yet seemingly hard to answer question we could ask, or be asked right now. Many of us are dealing with fatigue from increased screen time as a result of using so much technology.
As good as technology is, it can be very draining and fall short of filling the relational component we all need.
On today's episode, Alan sits down with pastor and author Jay Kim for a phenomenal conversation about his book Analog Church. They crack open what's happening right now, what's been good, and what we're losing with technology from over-relying on tech.
About Jay
Jay Kim serves on staff at Vintage Faith Church, overseeing teaching and leadership, as well as on the leadership team of The ReGeneration Project. He is the author Analog Church, which explores the challenges and opportunities churches face in the digital age.

As conversations around re-entry spin up, more and more church leaders are discussing what the church is going to look like as we move forward.
On today's episode, Alan sits down with Dr. Reggie McNeal and the two have a great conversation about the future of the church and opportunities for the church to leave the building.
About Reggie
Dr. Reggie McNeal enjoys helping people, leaders, and Christian organizations determine and experience epic wins with Kingdom impact. He currently serves as City Coach for GoodCities of Minneapolis MN.
As City Coach Reggie works with community leaders around the country to build cross-domain collaborative efforts that can move the needle on big societal issues. He
provides coaching and consultation for individuals and teams in becoming more missionally-focused and Kingdom-biased in their ministry approaches. Reggie has helped to shape the church leadership conversation through his extensive speaking
schedule and work as an author.
His books include Revolution in Leadership: Creating Apostles for Tomorrow’s Church (Abingdon Press, 1998), A Work of Heart: Understanding How God Shapes Spiritual Leaders (Jossey-Bass, 2000), The Present Future: Six Tough Questions for the Church (Jossey-Bass, 2003), Practicing Greatness: Seven Disciplines of Extraordinary Spiritual Leaders (Jossey-Bass, 2006), Get A Life! (Broadman &; Holman, 2007), Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church (Jossey-Bass, 2009), Missional Communities: The Rise of the Post- Congregational Church (Jossey-Bass, 2011), Get Off Your Donkey! Help Somebody and Help Yourself (Baker, 2013). Reggie’s Kingdom Come: Why We Must Quit Our Obsession Over Fixing the Church and What We Should Do Instead (Tyndale, 2015) challenges the church to shift its narrative from a church-centric to a kingdom-centric ministry agenda. His latest book, Kingdom Collaborators: 8 Signature Themes of Leaders Who Turn the World Upside Down (IVP, 2018), details the character and competencies of effective kingdom leaders.
Reggie served in local church leadership for over twenty years, including being the founding pastor of a congregation. His experience also includes being a denominational executive and leadership development coach. Reggie has lectured or taught as adjunct faculty for multiple seminaries, including Fuller Theological
(Pasadena, CA), Southwestern Baptist (Ft. Worth, TX), Golden Gate Baptist (San Francisco, CA), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Deerfield, IL), Columbia International (Columbia, SC), and Seminary of the Southwest (Austin TX). He has also resourced the United States Army Chief of Chaplains Office (the Pentagon), The
Chaplains’ Training School (Ft. Jackson), Air Force chaplains, and the Air Force Education and Training Command.
Reggie’s work also extends to the business sector, including The Gallup Organization, in addition to his role as an advisory board member for several ministry organizations. Most recently he served for ten years as the Missional Leadership Specialist with Leadership Network, remaining connected with the organization as Senior Fellow.
Reggie’s education includes a B.A. degree from the University of South Carolina and the M.Div. and Ph.D. degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Reggie and his wife Cathy make their home in Columbia, South Carolina.
From all of us at Stay Forth Designs we want you to know that we love you and are praying for you as you continue to try and lead right-side up in this upside-down world.
