So You Read the Book. What's next?
There’s a room for this conversation. Come find it.
If you found your way here because of God and the Machine — welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
You probably picked up the book because something about AI and ministry is 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, and the people around you keep landing in one of two unhelpful places:
“This is obviously evil — avoid it at all costs.”
“This is obviously amazing — use it for everything immediately.”
Neither response is very pastoral. Neither response is very Wesleyan, either.
If that’s you, 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 also small on purpose. Right now it’s a couple dozen practitioners who actually know each other’s names.
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.

If you’re still circling, that’s fine. Stay on the free list. Read a few more posts. But if the book landed for you — the room is where the work continues.
