// the mission
Become part of a global army of digital missionaries.
EDM is a cohort of pioneers being equipped to make disciples in digital spaces. Not a webinar. Not a content drop. A live, 6-week formation with real coaching, real community, and real accountability.
You'll leave with a discipleship plan that fits the platforms you're already on — and a tribe that's doing the same work alongside you.
// what you'll learn
Four outcomes. Six weeks.
01
A theology of digital presence
Why digital spaces are real mission fields — and biblical ground to stand on when people doubt you.
02
A strategy for your platforms
Discord, Twitch, WhatsApp, YouTube, game chats — a repeatable approach for the spaces you’re actually in.
03
A discipleship pathway
Move people from first contact to maturing disciple: Connect → Community → Equip → Mobilize.
04
A plan you’ll actually run
Leave with a concrete, written digital-ministry plan and a cohort that keeps you accountable to it.

Questions
[−]What is a digital missionary?
Someone called to make disciples in digital spaces — Discord, Twitch, WhatsApp, comment sections, game chats — the way missionaries have always gone where people actually are.
[+]When does the next cohort start?
The next EDM cohort begins March 2, 2026. It runs 6 weeks, live, with a cohort capped at 40 so coaching stays personal.
[+]What does the cohort cost?
Tuition is posted at the point of enrollment. Scholarships are available — cost should never be the reason you don’t apply. Just ask.
[+]Do I need a tech background?
No. If you can use the platforms you already use, you can do EDM. We handle the strategy and theology; you bring the calling.
[+]Do I need a big following?
Not at all. EDM is about faithfulness with the people you already know, in the spaces you already occupy — not chasing an audience.
