Ministry now happens through devices and screens—but are you smart about technology? Be equipped to guide your church, ministry, or other organization using digital tools.

You might feel overwhelmed when you think about engaging your church or community using digital tools. And it can be difficult to select and excel at the platform you choose. You should be focused on your message, not frustrated with technology.
