Episode Details

Josh and Sam discuss the best way to handle Super Bowl Sunday. Should churches say anything about it? Play into the day with gimmicks to increase attendance? What’s the best approach?

1. 1. There is nothing wrong with using cultural events in the church. But what do you say in the worship service?
   2. Gimmicks can fall flat and be self-defeating.
   3. Since the Super Bowl is in the evening, it could be a high-attendance Sunday. Most people do not travel that weekend.
   4. Don’t show the game at church. Most will want to host others in their homes.
   5. Plan a more upbeat service to capture the mood of most people.
