3 Underrated Features Churches Are Overlooking | Ep 217 Published Jul 2, 2026 We're halfway through 2026, and Jon, Emily, and Nicole are treating it as a checkpoint, not a victory lap. This episode pairs a v19 walkthrough with the mid-year reset most teams will skip. In Jonʼs segment on v19, he covers the features your church should be paying attention to. With the most important one being AI. The AI Summit on July 7th is the Communityʼs first look at AI Agents and the biggest event of the summer. Emily and Nicole lead a mid-year reset around three critical questions: what you accomplished so far in 2026, what needs to change, and what to learn now before fall. They revisit the Vacation Test and flag Following, NextGen Check-in, and Connections as summer priorities and underrated features.
