EP340 - Jeff & Jose de Urquidi Discuss Learnings from Catholic Digital Missionaries

What if digital missionaries could learn from monks? What if the quiet revolution for online discipleship was already happening in places you least expect, like the Vatican?

EPISODE

What if digital missionaries could learn from monks? What if the quiet revolution for online discipleship was already happening in places you least expect, like the Vatican?

Jeff Reed sits down with Jose de Urquidi — Catholic digital missionary strategist, Vatican synod participant, and nonprofit founder — to unpack what the institutional Catholic Church is actually doing with digital missionaries. From Pope Leo XIV's missionary heart and iPhone habits, to why a fully online Catholic parish is a theological non-starter, to how one bishop encounter can change everything, this conversation is a masterclass in navigating massive organizational structures to move the mission forward. Evangelicals and Catholics alike will find shared language and fresh strategy here.
