EPISODE
What if the next revival didn’t come through a pulpit but a podcast, a livestream or a VR headset? What if digital spaces weren’t support tools but used for Kingdom purposes?
Jeff flies solo — no guest, no script, just an hour of honest talk about what's coming for The Church Digital. He walks through the four Digital Missionary Summit tracks (digital neighborhoods, recovery, European ministry, gaming) launching September–October at missionary.digital, unveils a new physical-church cohort, a digital church outpost, and a fresh LMS platform (Knowbe) for the EDM course. The big reveal: Jeff wants to flip TCD from top-down vision-casting to an outpost-led, decentralized movement by 2026.
