    • Unbundle traditional church services into separate valuable components:

      • Community building
      • Weekly lectures/learning
      • Music/entertainment
      • Dating/social connections
    • Create new branded experiences like:
      • Meditation centers (example: Calm physical locations)
      • Yoga studios
