We Built the Frame. You Bring the Fire.

The Digital Missional Network We Build Together

I used to think I had to build it all.

Every digital ministry. Every creative idea. Every hopeful little spark that could change someone’s mind about church. I thought if I just worked hard enough, long enough, creatively enough—I'd finally arrive at a sustainable model.

But time after time, I would meet someone—even in my own denomination—who had no idea that digital ministry was even a thing. It felt like my clarion calls were just a drop in the bucket.

Because digital ministry doesn’t scale through hustle.
It scales through network.

That’s what the Digital Missional Network is.

Not a brand, program, or content pipeline, but a thoughtful and pragmatic framework. One that you are invited to join.

The early church was just a whisper in an upper room.
Twitch streams start with zero viewers.
Discords begin as a single blinking cursor in a welcome channel.

But the secret is this: You’re not just invited.
You’re needed.

Lurkers Are Welcome, But Leaders Are Needed

I know digital people. We like to watch a space before we join a space.

So if you’ve been reading these June posts with curiosity but hesitation, let me say clearly:

You don’t need permission.
You need people.

You don’t have to be a pastor or a tech expert or have a massive Twitch following. You just need a little holy restlessness and a dream that doesn’t fit into traditional church spreadsheets.

The Digital Missional Network is already live on Discord.

Threads are starting.
Ideas are percolating.
Connections are forming.

We need you to bring the next spark.
The next soul who didn’t know digital church could feel like this.

Let’s Be Brave Enough to Build Together

I’ll be honest. I don’t know exactly what this network will become.
But I know what it won’t become without you. If it just sits and idles, filled with empty promises and response-less posts.

It won’t become a place where new forms of church can flourish or a sandbox for sanctified experiments.
It won’t become a lifeline for the weird, the wounded, and the ones who’ve been called to something they can’t fully explain.

So let’s try something brave.

Let’s co-build.
Let’s workshop your idea.
Let’s launch a side quest.
Let’s throw something together that makes us laugh and think and feel a little more human.

Here’s Your Next Step

Say hi.
Start a thread.
Drop your weirdest idea.
Ask for help.
Offer help.

We built the frame.
You bring the fire.
