Jeff Reed recaps a full week: consulting with a small Presbyterian church, highlights from the Digital Neighborhoods conference, and the heart behind CTRL+ALT+Recover. He shares a wild moment—a real phone conversation with an AI agent—and how tools like live translation and platform chat will serve upcoming events. You’ll also hear quick updates on the European Digital Missionary Summit (Oct 1) and the Gaming Summit (Oct 8).The core message: digital ministry happens on addictive platforms among people (and leaders) prone to burnout. Jeff gets honest about being physically broken, emotionally fried, and spiritually empty in 2023—and how God met him there. From the Beatitudes to vulnerability online, he shows why transparency attracts and how shining God’s light on our own lives is the starting point for real digital evangelism and discipleship.What you’ll learn: why recovery matters for digital ministers, how to practice honesty online without oversharing, and ways your team can use conferences, sponsors’ tools, and community tables to grow. You’ll take away practical steps to fight burnout, lead with gospel-centered transparency, and engage people across digital neighborhoods, the metaverse, and gaming spaces.If you’re interested in digital evangelism, church online, or healthy leaders who last, watch this. Get a sneak peek at speakers, tools, and how to connect. Then register for the conferences and invite your team—because God is opening doors for recovery, discipleship, and mission in digital spaces like never before.Visit our website: https://www.thechurch.digital/Connect with us on social media!
