Welcome to a compelling episode of NCC Unplugged that explores the intersection of faith and technology. We host Matt Mastroianni, Director of Media and Technology at NCC, who shares his experiences in harnessing technology to drive growth in our faith community and how his team transitioned smoothly to a digital platform amidst the COVID-19 crisis.

Matt shares the implications of integrating technology within the church, stressing the importance of maintaining a balance between traditional customs and modern innovations. He reflects on his personal journey, discussing past doubts and how his faith ultimately prevailed, underscoring the significant impact his work has in God's kingdom.

The episode explores how technology has revolutionized the conduct of church services, particularly during the pandemic. We delve into the concept of 'kingdom impact' and the use of tech and media as mission work tools. We spotlight Good News Productions International, one of our supported missions known for their innovative approach in utilizing media to spread the word of Jesus.

We also examine the dual aspect of technology: its potential for isolation and its transformational role in congregational engagement and community building, considering our adoption of live streams, sermon shorts, podcasts, and the newly launched Right Now Media membership.

We emphasize a broader perspective towards technology in our mission, encouraging the younger church attendees to consider using their talents in tech and media to serve the church and further God's kingdom.
