EPISODE
What if the future of discipleship meant empowering ordinary people to become digital missionaries? The church isn’t confined to buildings anymore—it’s happening in DMs, voice chats, and virtual world…
Jeff Reed unpacks the digital mission flywheel — Connect, Community, Equip, Mobilize — and makes the case that stopping at salvation or even discipleship isn't enough. Drawing on Leonardo da Vinci's flywheel physics, Seth Godin's multiplication principle, and real stories from the TCD network, Jeff challenges digital missionaries to move from growing an audience to multiplying a movement. Tune in to understand why your role in the flywheel matters — even if you can only own one quadrant of it.
