Description

In this episode of Church3.0 by Apollos, Tyler Vance sits down with Ben Snyder, senior pastor of Cedar Creek Church in Toledo, Ohio, to unpack what it really means to lead a modern church in a digital age. Discover how Cedar Creek broke the mold with its iconic "Not Your Mother's Church" campaign and continues to lead with innovation, inclusion, and intentionality.

Ben shares the powerful story of his own transformation from spiritually restless college student to lead pastor—and how Cedar Creek is using tools like the Apollos church engagement app to bridge Sunday services with daily spiritual practices. From interactive “preach offs” during the Super Bowl to building deep community through digital prayer, learn how Cedar Creek is redefining church growth, discipleship, and community connection in a post-Christian world.

Topics Covered:
✅ Digital discipleship strategies
