TECH CHURCH

People within the Christian community are just as immersed in digital technologies and social networks as those outside. Both evangelicals and born-agains emerged as statistically on-par with national norms when it comes to technological habits. The one exception is access to spiritual content via podcasting. A new Barna Group study finds 38% of evangelicals and 31% of other born-agains listened to a sermon or church teaching via a podcast vs. 17% of other adults. Roughly 45 million Americans (23%) report going digital to acquire church sermon and teaching content in the past week.
