Hybrid/Digital Church Strategy

Honest Conversation about VR Church with DJ Soto

Have you heard about Virtual Reality Church yet? It’s caused quite a stir in Christian circles. Check out his multiple features on Wired, CNN, and Today Show. I’ve gotten the chance to get to know the founding pastor DJ Soto over the last year. DJ is one of the most outreach focused guys I know and the stories coming out of VR Church back it up, but often that isn’t enough to make “Christians” happy. I’m a bit sarcastic with my use of “Christians” because many have embraced VR Church’s endeavors while others have criticized.

Murky Can Be Better

Online church ministries are usually positionally and strategically murky. What I love about this foggy dispensation is the sandbox leaders create for their online leaders. Nothing makes sense when you start. Read any biography, and you’ll find out quickly most forerunners in fields had to experiment, fail, and repeat until success. Don’t ask for clarity positionally and strategically until you want the structure and the pros outweigh the cons.

Criticism of 'Churchome' Reveals What Church Is To Criticizers

Every ministry has their approach. Every church does ministry a bit different. The Bible does provide a framework, but its pretty open-ended on how you do “church.” Now that doesn’t mean many are doing church wrong and few are doing it better. There is a range, but I find the common criticism of many online ministries more a reflection on American church.

Is "Churchome" the Future of Church Plants?

I did feel church planting needed to be disrupted and online church ministries as well. Not sure if this is the answer, but I pray more ministries consider this approach. If I could buy the stock, I would go all in.

How #ChurchOnline is Impacting the Country of Iran

Surprise! God is much bigger than America. I’ve observed great leaps in how the church in America has embraced #churchonline or online ministry over the last ten years, but some bigger jumps have happened overseas in places like the Middle East and specifically within Iran.

The Internet Isn't All Online

The internet is a network of networks. It’s virtual but dependent on physical servers around the globe. The internet isn't centralized in one place but decentralized on servers everywhere. Nobody can accidentally unplug the internet.
