Can digital discipleship actually work in every culture? Or are we turning digital missions into digital colonization, leading missions with our methods instead of their cultural realities?

Jeff Reed pulls back the curtain on what's coming for The Church Digital — from a frank confession about a failed Africa EDM cohort (zero completions) to the cultural breakthrough that followed when Yatope ditched the flipped-classroom model entirely. Jeff teases an upcoming conversation with a Catholic digital missionary leader working at the Vatican level, previews a new 'Empowering Tools' podcast season launching June 3rd, and invites the community into a live town-hall poll. Bottom line: contextualization isn't optional — it's the whole game.
