I don’t remember when I was last in a Radio Shack. I do know it has been well over a decade since I last shopped there. As such, I am not in position to know just how significantly they have evolved to meet the changing demands of the marketplace. I did, however, enjoy watching their Goodbye ’80s commercial during the Super Bowl.
So What?
As I reflected on this commercial, I couldn’t help but reflect on the parallels between the mainline/oldline/sideline church and Radio Shack. It is time that both left the 1980s (and every other decade in the past) behind.
- What about your church and its ministries and mission looks more like something out of the 1970s/80s/90s than something designed for the 2010s?
- When did your congregation last reconsider its image, and engage in a deliberate effort to rebrand itself?
