Where Mission Meets Momentum - Ben Elmore | Faithly Stories

What does it look like when elite digital strategy meets unwavering Kingdom-driven purpose? Join us in finding out throughout this episode of Faithly Stories, as host Alicia Lee sits down with Ben Elmore—entrepreneur, technologist, and founder of Servant—to explore how faith and innovation can work hand in hand to transform the Church’s impact in a digital world. Drawing from a career that spans billion-dollar enterprises and high-impact ministry partnerships, Ben shares his journey from Silicon Valley-style startups to pioneering faith-first tech solutions for ministries like The Chosen, YouVersion, and OneHope.

Together, we’ll dive into how technology can serve people rather than replacing them. From strengthening marriage ministries in churches to designing digital discipleship tools that are both scalable and deeply relational, Ben unpacks the practical ways churches can thrive through digital transformation. We also tackle the big questions: how do we preserve biblical values in a tech-saturated age? And how can AI be used responsibly to enhance, not erode, human connection in ministry?
