Our culture keeps on marching… and unfortunately, the North American church seems to fall further and further behind. I regularly begin church training exercises by showing the “Shift Happens” YouTube video that was initially uploaded back in 2008. The response to the video by the average layperson is typically shock … especially for those who quickly make the leap and realize how 1950s or 1970s they are (if they have a “contemporary” worship service).
Over the years, there have been some updates to the video, but last weekend I needed something current. So I did my research, updated it a bit, and then uploaded it. You can view it below and download the mp4 file here (right click and save).
