You Might Be Doing Digital WRONG, Here's Why

Struggling to keep up with the demands of the digital age without compromising your core values?

For many churches (and secular businesses alike), finding that balance between tradition and innovation can feel impossible.

In this episode of the Creative Potential Podcast, Chris Decker interviews Jay Kranda, The Online Community Pastor at Saddleback Church, who reveals how to bridge this gap and thrive in both worlds.

Jay knows the struggle firsthand. As the author of Online Church is Not the Answer: Beyond Just Streaming Church to Hybrid Disciple Making, he shares how churches (and any organization or business for that matter) can embrace digital engagement without losing their identity.

Digital platforms aren’t just tools—they’re opportunities to connect with people in powerful new ways, all while staying grounded in your community's values and beliefs.

When it comes to writing and creative work, Jay is no stranger to the grind. He opens up about the disciplined focus required to write a book and the constant battle between faith and ego. Through personal stories, like how skateboarding taught him resilience, he highlights the importance of persistence and learning from failure.

Jay’s top tip?

Don’t release work until you’re truly proud of it. Creatives must align their efforts with purpose, documenting their journey and making sure every piece of content delivers value, not just self-promotion.
