Is the metaverse dead? Not even close. In episode 332 of The Church Digital Podcast, Jeff Reed sits down with DJ Soto, Pastor Alina and Pastor Coco to break the mold of traditional ministry.

Jeff Reed sits down with DJ Soto, Pastor Alina, and Pastor Coco from VRMMO Church to answer a question the tech press keeps getting wrong: is the metaverse dead? Spoiler — it's not even close. From VR platforms like Rec Room and VRChat to Final Fantasy 14 and Rust, this episode unpacks what real digital church looks like in 2024: global congregations, radical welcome for the church-hurt and unchurched, and a multiplication strategy built on raising up leaders rather than burning them out.
