Some church leaders say the onset of online services has deprived them of a connection with their members.

Baptist News Global reports, pastors say they miss the exchange of energy that happens between speaker and hearer when preaching.

They report feeling uncomfortable not being able to see the reactions of the congregation, or if the message is being understood.

Some say they are also overwhelmed at having to become tech-experts in an age of pre-recorded and livestreaming services.

Pastors say they are continually looking for new ways to keep themselves and their messages fresh.

Pinnacle Leadership Associates groups up to four ministers with a coach to work together on creative ways to bring hope.

The group’s Rhonda Blevins says preachers are tired of talking about the pandemic.
