Since being introduced to Bleat, our congregational engagement has exploded. We use it weekly during the sermon and people respond. They create word pics, answer questions, and we are able to react to their answers in real time.

For example, recently I asked, what is God working on in you right now? The number one answer was patience so I was able to speak to this for a few minutes before moving further into my message.

Bleat can also be used during announcements, to generate excitement, and mid-week to see if people are actually applying the message. Bleat is what’s next for us, you will find it useful too.

We used Bleat in service and our congregation loved it!

Recently we asked the church about what debt caused them the most concern in their lives. We were in a Family Series and were preaching on the strain that debt causes in many families.

It helped the message hit home to those who are carrying unwise debt. We will continue to use this tool once or twice a month.

During a recent sermon series, we used Bleat to ask our congregation fun engagement questions. It was great to see their responses in real time, and interact with them in the moment.

It really helped our congregation 'warm up' for the morning, added a light moment in our announcements, and helped with engagement and responses throughout the day.

This is Sermon 2.0 on two counts.

Firstly, you can now know how engaged the congregation is during the sermon. You knew they were hearing it, but had no idea if they were paying attention, really engaged, or truly involved.

Secondly, the real-time interactions and discussions help people retain the message of the sermon, while the commitments and decisions help them remember it during the week.
