EP252: Mark Lutz, Season 4: Jesus, Gamers, & Church
CATCH THE JESUS, GAMERS AND CHURCH INTERVIEWS ON TWITCH. THURSDAYS 3pm EASTERN ON http://twitch.tv/digitalchurchnetwork — How do we reach the estimated 3 billion video gamers for Christ? Great question, which sets up the focus of Season 4 of The Church Digital Podcast: “Jesus, Gamers, and Church.” In Season 4, we’re deep diving into Gamer Culture, into Nerd Culture, and a better understanding of how they think and how we can take Jesus, and the Church, into that culture. The challenge is not to force gamers to think like the church. The challenge will be to contextualize the church for gamers. This is why, for our season opener, we’re bringing in Mark Lutz from Lux Digital Church into the conversation. For the past year, Mark has been the lead pastor of Lux, a church that aims to reach Gamers for Christ. Through Twitch Church Services and discipleship via the Discord platform, Mark is a pioneer in reaching different types of people via different methods of discipleship in different environments. So jump on this podcast and look for more from The Church Digital Podcast as we explore Jesus, Gamers, and Church. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

EP251 - Brad Brisco, Digital Ecclesiology & Deconstructing Church
Can we deconstruct the church and not God? Can we challenge the bride of Christ in America without questioning our faith? This is a quandary I live in. This is just one of the questions we dug into in the podcast. As we explore digital ministry and digital church, we are challenging perceived norms, and I may in the few, but I will own this statement: when done right, I believe that a digital expression of church is actually closer to the biblical model proposed. Brad Brisco is one of my favorite twitter follows. While most of Twitter has seemingly become a giant shout-fest turning grown adults into petty children, Brad utilizes the platform so well to challenge his people to his way of thinking, sure, but he does it respectfully. And as someone who works with co-vocational pastors and priesthood of all believes ideology (challenging the clergy/laity divide) Brad is one of these in the church-space who may not understand a digital ecclesiology, but through his work is giving permission to digital to reimagine it’s ecclesiology. So jump on the show as Brad Brisco from the North American Mission Board unpacks Digital Ecclesiology & Deconstructing Church. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

EP249 - Jason Shepherd & Accountability Audio
Microchurches are fascinating to me. You have volunteers with an extremely high level of commitment, serving as a church. These are not fairweather volunteers by any stretch. These are people that open up their homes weekly, prepping sermons, relationally engaging week-by-week, day-by-day. How do you grow that level of commitment? How does discipleship help foster healthy accountability? As we look at the future of digital and metaverse churches, the decentralized model of digital will continue to influence a healthy approach. Is it possible to get volunteer commitment of a digital/metaverse church at the same level as a microchurch owner would? These are some of the questions we dig in with Jason Shepperd, Leader of Church Project. With incredible understanding of the megachurch model, as well as the microchurch model, Jason Shepperd is in a great position to give us advice heading into our exploration of digital and metaverse churches. So lean in with Jason and Jeff as we talk volunteer accountability. Disclaimer: Due to a unforeseen issue, we had to reschedule schedule podcasts. This podcast was supposed to be EP250, which was celebrated on the podcast. Unfortunately, things change. EP250 will be next week, but for today enjoy EP249. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

EP248 - Patrick Miller, Podcasting, and the Role of Content in Digital Discipleship
You see, I thought I was walking into a conversation about creating and utilizing podcasts in discipleship. Instead, I walk into a conversation about empowering people digitally, and mobilizing people in the pew to start a movement. Incredible conversation. Patrick Miller was a stranger to me. We haven't really met before this podcast. I bumped into him on Twitter, and was curious about some of his tweets. Recent author, as well as a constant contributor to The Gospel Coalition, Patrick is well versed in digital ministry, and shares some unique perspectives on how your church can empower people to reach the people they need to reach. Your church sermon podcast may be dead, but church podcasts are far from it. Listen to Patrick Miller to find out why.

EP246: Leonard Sweet talks Digital Church
SO HERE'S THE DEAL... Almost 25 years ago, as a college student, I read Leonard Sweet’s book SoulTsunami, and to say that it changed my life would be an understatement. In 1999, Leonard’s book gave me permission to digital ministry even though everyone else thought I was crazy. 20+ years later, people still think I’m crazy, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong. HERE’S AN IDEA! Let’s get Leonard Sweet on a podcast, and talk with the Church Futurist about the future of the tmchurch. We’ll hit digital and metaverse church. We’ll talks politics and theology. We’ll talk content with the author of 70+ books. To be honest we cover a lot of topics, all the while having some fun too.   So jump on the podcast with myself, and Leonard Sweet, talking digital church.  ON THE SHOW Host: Jeff Reed THECHURCH.DIGITAL & DigitalChurch.Network Twitter // Facebook // Instagram // LinkedIn // YouTube  Guest: Leonard Sweet SpiritVenture Ministries Facebook // Instagram // Website LEONARD'S BOOKS: SoulTsunami - https://www.amazon.com/Soultsunami-Sink-Swim-Millennium-Culture/dp/0310227623/ref=sr_1_1?crid=17WE63C0SMXWU&keywords=SoulTsunami&qid=1670806474&sprefix=soultsunami%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-1 Gospel According to Starbucks - https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-According-Starbucks-Living-Passion/dp/1578566495/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YWW4HJC331CV&keywords=Gospel+According+to+Starbucks&qid=1670806492&sprefix=gospel+according+to+starbucks%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-1 Postmodern Pilgrims - https://www.amazon.com/Post-Modern-Pilgrims-First-Century-Passion/dp/0805421378/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2Z2UM254HK27E&keywords=Postmodern+Pilgrims&qid=1670806507&sprefix=postmodern+pilgrims%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-2 Telos - https://www.amazon.com/Telos-Heaven-Today-Leonard-Sweet/dp/1953495389/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1RLRNXLIKRJKU&keywords=Telos+Leonard+sweet&qid=1670806537&sprefix=telos+leonard+sweet%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-1 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

EP245: Your Digital Church’s Local Missions Department
Faith without works is dead! How many times have you heard that challenge towards the idea of digital churches and digital ministry? James 2 isn’t wrong, of course. But it doesn’t have to apply to Digital Churches. “Jeff, how do you serve people digitally?” Well, have we got an opportunity for you. Realizing that digital is not the abandonment of gathering, but instead the opportunity to birth new gatherings… what if we applied that same philosophy to serving? What if we could equip our people to serve in their physical community, regardless of where they are located? What if digital church could impact single moms, sex trafficking, foster care and battle hunger in communities across the planet!? Enter Panos and Robert from One More Child, an organization who is decentralizing training that is set up to help churches like yours move our digital consumers to a place of serving in their community. Let’s start to explore the idea of using our digital church or digital ministry to create missional connections and service opportunities globally using digital. Dive into this podcast with Jeff and One More Child, and let’s start serving the community via digital! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

Where’d the idea come from?  How is barbecue being used to reach and disciple people today.

EP243: Surviving the Creative Christmas Church Service
Tis the season to get stressed out, amiright? So many departments coming together. So many volunteers serving with all their heart. The standards are set high for this year’s Christmas Services (happening on a Sunday this year BTW.) But how do you manage the creative tensions? How do you get people to work together. What does it look like to get people to focus towards an aligned direction, often meaning they would need to set aside their own desires? This is how it often feels working at a Church in Christmas (or Easter for that matter.) But it doesn’t have to be. To this end we’re bringing in Ben Stapley to the conversation. His 17th Christmas working for the church, Ben has navigated this tension for a while, and knows how to not only manage the tension but thrive in it. So jump in the podcast, and learn not just how to survive Christmas, but how to create a healthy culture that will help you survive all 52 weeks in the year! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thechurchdigital/message

EP233: Patrick O'Connell, Missional Imagination & The Digital Church
DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT WILL HELP US REACH DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Fortunately, God has equipped us with imagination, allowing us an opportunity to come up with different, creative ideas to connect with people. And, as a result of COVID, there is probably no better time in human history for imaginative ideas than right now. THIS IS THE HEART BEHIND MISSIONAL IMAGINATION. How can these ideas be used for kingdom purposes? How can we network or collaborate with others to make this Missional Imagination a reality? Let’s dig into this Missional Imagination conversation with Patrick O’Connell, Global Director of NewThing Network. NewThing specializes in collaboration, and the idea of unique expressions of church (physically and digitally) is right up their alley. The idea of Missional Imagination is the front door to NewThing’s Movement System, which is crucial to NewThing’s (and DCN’s) desire to start organic disciple-making movements! SO WHAT'S YOUR IDEA? What can God do with your Missional Imagination? Dive into this podcast with Patrick O'Connell and discover what God may have in store for you… here on The Church Digital Podcast.
