But if we stop there, our idea of \u201chybrid church\u201d is no more hybrid than gluing a polaroid camera, an alarm clock, and a notepad to a landline phone and calling it a smartphone. It just doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google the definition of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hybrid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

What could this mean when it comes to how we invite a generation to do church and be the Church?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And here\u2019s the thing. We have hybrid experiences everyday, but because they\u2019re so seamlessly integrated into our lives, we don\u2019t even think about them as hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your car switches from gas to electricity because you hit a certain speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you open your AirPods and, thanks to Bluetooth technology, your phone pulls up the last podcast or Spotify song you were playing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you open your GPS and it predicts which address you\u2019re headed to based on what time of day it is and where you\u2019re located.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the big picture of your weekly meal planning includes a grocery run, a Hello Fresh subscription, a few take-out orders, and a trip to the local farmers market.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid is what happens when we look at the big picture. Hybrid is what happens when technology becomes a little more human by remembering, empathizing, and anticipating for the purpose of creating a holistic and seamless user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So maybe the goal of hybrid church isn\u2019t offering two message options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe the goal of hybrid church is engaging students in a seamless, holistic, authentic faith strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seamless in that it doesn\u2019t have to wait to attend the next service to proactively engage with a next step. Seamless in that the leaders I watch online are consistent and aligned with the same messaging when I show up in-person. Seamless in that when my small group leader challenges me to take a next step this week, my YouVersion Bible Plan is encouraging me to do the same, at the same time my parent \u201cso happened\u201d to bring up a similar topic as I was heading out to school this morning. Seamless in that as I engage with God daily I am being encouraged and supported by my faith community online, in small group text messages, at the dinner table, and in my personal devotional time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s my point?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your church shouldn\u2019t be hybridizing because we\u2019ve experienced a global pandemic that forced us to stay home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your church shouldn\u2019t even be hybridizing because \u201cpeople aren\u2019t coming back anytime soon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your church should be hybridizing because the human experience is hybrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your audience is a hybrid of young and old people, traditional and modern styles. Your content is a hybrid of live and pre-recorded messaging. Your small groups are hybrids of social life and spiritual formation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means that our discipleship models should create opportunities for discipleship that feel cohesive to where students are developmentally and spiritually\u2014whether in-person or online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means using digital tools like teaching videos, devotionals, and social media that are strategically designed to not feel like separate experiences created in isolation of each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means the one hour that students spend interfacing with your ministry\u2014whether in-person or online\u2014spills over into the other 168 hours through daily applicable YouVersion devos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>When we stop defining hybrid only as offering two options for convenient content consumption and start rethinking of hybrid as an opportunity to create a holistic, seamless strategy to build a lasting, authentic faith in a generation, we start to help students love God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength whether your church is in the room or not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid churches crossbreed technology and empathy to help humans be better humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hybrid churches fearlessly intersect timeless tradition with futuristic innovation to create an authentic faith.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we create a hybrid strategy that emphasizes the human experience of connecting to God and others, we innovate the future of the church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s all face it: The future of the church is hybrid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But not because a global pandemic ripped across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, the future of the church is hybrid because when Jesus challenged us to do the only things that matter\u2014to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love others as God loves them\u2014it was a challenge to go from attending a convenient weekly service to living out a daily, moment-by-moment commitment in an authentic, everyday faith. To go from rigid, religious checklists that took place at specific times, in a specific location and to embrace a lifestyle, a new way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most churches will say hybrid means offering both an online and an in-person option for watching a weekly message.
