This is the Brand and Sherry podcast. To find out more about the radio show and Brant's new book called Unoffendable, just go to brant Hansen.com.

This is really interesting, I think. You may go online to get, like, religious stuff. Like, I don't know, read online magazines or you can listen, download sermons, or all sorts of stuff.

A lot of people do that.

I do that.

But should that be your church is a question?

Half the pastors in this study, just saw this new study that's out, think in the coming

decade, that's going to be church for people.

I don't understand.

Just going online.

So that there's no actual building you go to?

Right.

There's no group of people that you're connected to.

But you only connect through online.

That would be terrible.

Yeah.

You lose all personal connection.

I don't think you understand what church means anymore.

I kind of wonder whether we do now anyway.

But if it's just about consuming, you know, music and speeches, well, you know, it makes sense because you can get that at home.

If it's about actually being on mission together with other people who are a mess, who know you, who get to know you, get to correct you, get to love you, all that sort of stuff. Can't do that online. Sorry. It doesn't work that way. Maybe a little bit. You can do some of that online. It's okay. But, man, you're made physical for a reason. And people are physical for reason. The church is supposed to be people, physical people, on mission together for the world.

I know I'm going to like that cranky guy on this stuff talking about internet church.

Like, can that be your entire church experience?
