The Pro Church Tools Show with Brady Shearer

Facebook Stories officially rolled out this week. Nearly every church enjoys their biggest social presence on Facebook. So what does this mean for the future of Facebook and our churches?

I am 100% convinced that the most impactful churches of the next decade will look very different than the churches we currently idolize. Why? Because we're living through the biggest communication shift in the last 500 years. And even the most modern and on-trend churches that we all look up to were founded before this shift could ever have even been predicted.
