Today, Mark and Charla have a fantastic interview with Rachel Billups and Matt Rawle. The conversation centers around digital discipleship and how they help pastors and churches through their new platform Hub4Innovation. Matt and Rachel discuss the Hub as a place for pastors to experiment and play with new ideas and to fail safely and hopefully forward toward innovation success. Rachel shares that a great use for digital space is for prayer, i.e. hosting a prayer group in the metaverse. Matt leans in and unpacks the idea that our digital and social tools are most effective when used for “formation” and not just “information.” And the four talk about other tips and tools for seeking margin in our lives by leveraging digital tools.

At this point, most churches use digital technology in some form, but it's mostly to market events to members or extend the imprint of physical services.

Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of the Lead Volunteers podcast, Josh Denhart and his new podcast partner, Bill Van Kirk, delve into the concept of "digital discipleship" and its impact on modern ministry. The duo unpacks how visual content and digital strategies can reengage audiences and deepen their faith journey. Offering practical guidance and inspirational insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone leading volunteers and looking to prevent burnout in the ever-evolving landscape of ministry. Fostering an engaging atmosphere, Josh and Bill explore the significance of adopting digital tools to enhance the discipleship process. They confirm the timeless goal of drawing nearer to Christ, while illustrating the advantages digital platforms bring to achieving this in the 21st century. The conversational dynamic showcases how digital ministry, such as video messages, can effectively communicate, connect and cast vision to volunteers and congregants alike, ensuring the church remains relevant in an increasingly digital world. Key Takeaways: Digital discipleship utilizes modern technology to deepen and extend the reach of traditional ministry efforts. Embracing digital platforms like video can enhance communication with volunteers and churchgoers, making messages more personal and impactful. By leading with videos, ministries can increase engagement and participation from their audience, especially among younger digital-native generations. Simple yet authentic videos, even short greetings or thank-you messages, can make a profound difference in making individuals feel seen and valued. Leveraging volunteer involvement in creating digital content can spread the responsibility and encourage collective investment in the ministry. Notable Quotes: "It's about visual. This is such a terrible way to put it, but it's kind of like visual candy that keeps people just. It reengages. It's another quick reengagement." - Josh Denhart "The normal, average person is watching videos every day… And so it's an area that the church had better… get into." - Bill Van Kirk "If you know where you're going, people truly will follow." - Josh Denhart "The tide has changed. It's no longer just the bizarro, geeky dude who's like, hey, let me tell you about this thing called the interwebs. No, it is ubiquitous." - Josh Denhart "It's just so important for us to be using digital means to reach them in all sorts of different ways… that's where the church needs to be." - Bill Van Kirk Resources: https://www.loom.com/ Be sure to listen to the full episode for a deeper understanding of how digital discipleship can transform your ministry efforts in captivating and contemporary ways. Stay tuned for more compelling stories and practical advice from Josh, Bill, and other leaders in the field.

In 2023, many churches are going back to an old mindset of digital ministry. Let's broadcast those church services! But, and maybe I'm talking crazy here, what if your church didn't. Instead, what if your church did something different. This is what we're highlighting here this week with Tyler Sansom, from "First Capital/Church Anywhere." For a medium sized church in the middle of a small, blue collar town, "First Capital" is doing some incredible things digitally. Digital Discipleship, International Ministry, even releasing Christian Long-Form Films… the thing I love about "First Capital" is that they find ways to do some incredible stuff when other churches of their size would never dream of trying. But this really gets to the heart of this podcast. How can your church unleash the next season of ministry? How do you get your attenders to really engage and support creative ministry in and around the church? This is what we asked Tyler, and his answer is somewhat surprising: Discipleship.Lean into this podcast with Tyler, and learn about Leadership Network's Learning Communities, and how your church can learn more about "First Capital's" Discipleship Process, and how it can help take your church to the next level.

Feedback on the recent episode about the teen mental health report by the CDC was so strong that the Holy Post gang revisits the topic. Jonathan Haidt says three untruths that fuel depression were embraced by progressives ten years ago, but now they're commonplace among conservatives too. Then, in 1976, Jimmy Carter represented a biblically-rooted evangelicalism that was also politically progressive. So, why did white evangelicals abandon him—or did they? And former Facebook executive, Nona Jones, explains why social media companies say their mission is to create community but their business models do the opposite. Jones still believes there is hope for these platforms and is now working with YouVersion to build digital disciples. Plus, respected historian, Dave, believes there's a buried treasure under Kate's house.   Patreon Bonus: Getting Schooled by Kaitlyn Schiess Tithing 101 https://www.patreon.com/posts/80028489/   Holy Post merch store - https://www.holypost.com/shop  0:00 -  Intro 2:39 - Theme Song 3:00 - The Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant thought to be found in England 12:16 - Teenage Mental Health 38:10 - Jimmy Carter and Evangelicals  48:50 - Ryan Burge on race and religion in American politics   Sponsors 52:52 - Sponsor - Magic Spoon Go to magicspoon.com/HOLYPOST to grab a variety pack and try it today!

You see, I thought I was walking into a conversation about creating and utilizing podcasts in discipleship. Instead, I walk into a conversation about empowering people digitally, and mobilizing people in the pew to start a movement. Incredible conversation. Patrick Miller was a stranger to me.

Recent author, as well as a constant contributor to The Gospel Coalition, Patrick is well versed in digital ministry, and shares some unique perspectives on how your church can empower people to reach the people they need to reach.

This Vision Sunday message will give you a glimpse into the mission God is calling Liquid Church to in 2023. The theme for this year comes from Micah 6:8, which challenges the people of God to do 3 vital things: “Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God.” We believe God is calling us to fulfill the Micah 6:8 vision in 4 key areas of practical need. #1) Feeding our homeless and hungry neighbors both here in NJ and around the globe. Justice begins on a basic level, and that means filling empty stomachs of hungry people. #2) Investing in the growth and discipleship of men, women, married couples, and millennials. #3) Investing in Digital Discipleship. Did you know that every week we have over 2,000+ people watch messages, livestream worship, do devotions, and participate in Small Groups at Liquid online? We want to care for them well! #4) And the cornerstone of Vision Sunday is providing clean water for the poor and thirsty. This is where our vision becomes GLOBAL. We want to reach around the globe to help save and serve families in Rwanda. In Africa, they have a saying: Water is life. Literally, it's a matter of life and death. Right now, about 20% of Rwanda lacks access to safe, clean drinking water. Think about this: Today, 2,300 children will die from drinking dirty water, which causes disease. But, the real tragedy is that this is entirely preventable! Watch this video to learn how you can be a part of the work Liquid Church is doing in Rwanda to bring safe, clean drinking water to its people. God gives us the vision… but we need your help to make it a reality!

By Richard Hunt Knowing some folks who showed interest in reaching people for Christ in the VR realm probably have little, if any, experience with this tech, an interest session was held with the light-hearted theme, “Virtual Reality Training Experience Kind of Thing,” explains Bracken. “17 different people showed up. And we had a blast!” There were some awkward moments, and that was anticipated. “When we encounter people in VR, to remember that – there is a real person. There are real emotions. There are real spiritual and physical needs behind that avatar.”

Someone asked me if the livestream really served any purpose at all anymore.  You can probably guess my stand, but this is why I believe it does.I also have some information regarding the lectureship in late July, which is also available at www.balancingthechristianlife.com. Support the show
