You closed the book. Now what?
You picked up God and the Machine because something about AI and ministry was nagging at you.
Maybe your peers are too enthusiastic and you’re the skeptic in the group chat. Maybe your peers are too fearful and you’re the one quietly experimenting. Maybe you just want someone to ask better questions with.
The book was the beginning of a conversation. Not the end of one.
And the place that conversation keeps happening is a small room called the Digital Missional Network.
What it actually is
DMN is a Discord-based community for pastors and ministry leaders doing digital work — the dreamers, the weirdos, the ones building ministry in Twitch chats and Discord servers and wherever else people are actually showing up.
It’s not a content dump. It’s not another webinar. It’s a workbench.
It’s small on purpose. Right now it’s two dozen practitioners who actually know each other’s names. Led by Nathan Webb — pastor of Checkpoint Church, author of God and the Machine (Abingdon Press), and someone who’s been doing digital ministry full-time for over five years.
Who it’s for
Pastors feeling the loneliness of digital ministry
Leaders who want peers at their level, not another conference
People who are done reading think pieces and want to actually work
Who it’s not for
Anyone looking to go viral or build a personal brand. This is for people hoping to minister to real people online.
