In nearly every church casing incident reported to us over the past 18 months, the most alarming question asked was the same: Do you live stream the service? It’s time we rethink how we harden our churches. One smart step is to stop live streaming in real time—and instead implement a delay of two to three hours before broadcasting the service. If you attend a church that live streams, start the conversation. Talk to your church’s leadership or its security team about switching to a delayed broadcast. It’s a simple adjustment that could make a real difference in protecting your congregation.
