#GOTDialog 007: Lights, Camera, Mission - Does the Church Need to Be Fancy to Reach People | Dr Michael Crane & Rev. Kevin Loo

In this episode of #GOTDialog, we ask a question many churches quietly wrestle with: does the church need to be fancy to reach people? Joining us are Dr Michael Crane, a missiologist with years of experience in global missions and urban church planting, and Pastor Kevin Loo of Collective KL, known for his creative and dynamic ministry style. Hosted by Pastor Andy from Generations Church, this conversation explores the tension between presentation and purpose—between production value and authentic discipleship.

From LED screens and smoke machines to Maggi Mee buffets and zero-budget beginnings, the discussion challenges us to reflect on what actually helps people encounter Jesus. Can a high-production service still be God-honouring? Does simplicity speak louder than strategy? And when does excellence start getting in the way?

With raw stories, humour, and practical insight, this episode invites church creatives, leaders, and everyday believers to rethink what it means to communicate the gospel in today’s world—without losing the heart of the mission.
