In this class, Shannon Scott reframes church technology as more than gear and systems, showing how it can become a deeply personal and spiritual tool for helping people encounter Jesus. She challenges teams to move from transactional production to intentional storytelling, where every email, playlist, cue, and screen supports a clear pastoral end goal. With practical examples from Planning Center, social media, audio, lighting, and video, she shows how to reduce distractions, remove barriers, and design environments that feel seamless, meaningful, and human. If you lead services, volunteers, or any tech or creative team, this course will sharpen how you plan, communicate, and execute so the message stays central and the experience stays personal.
