A Former Elevation Pastor on the Seeker-Sensitive Overcorrection | Jon Rush

About This Week's Guest

Jon Rush is the founder of Scroll Company, an agency that helps legacy and missional organizations, including Maxwell Leadership, reach new audiences through campaign-based creative work. Before that he spent ten years at a large church outside Chicago and five years at Elevation Church in Charlotte, where he pastored the broadcast location. He travels to speak and teach.

Creators have broad reach. Pastors have depth. Jake and Jon talk about how local church leaders can use content to extend the influence they already have: theology nights as a way to launch a church, a weekly podcast paired with a Zoom community for discipleship, and how a pastor can serve their people in ways no national creator can.

They also debate whether churches should livestream their Sunday services, why content works best when it's made for the platform instead of repurposed from the sermon, the seeker-sensitive overcorrection, why only the people of God have a sanctuary, and what the church should do about Roblox, Grand Theft Auto and the coming digital worlds.
