EP262: Exponential and the Gaming Church

0
 

 

The Exponential 2023 Global Conference wrapped up last week in Orlando. This year, 5000+ Church Planters and Multiplication-friendly people gathered at First Baptist Orlando to pray, seek God, and learn. Leadership Network offered a Digital and a Metaverse track. And, as much fun as teaching hundreds on the power of digital discipleship…as much fun as networking with global organizations talking about the power of a digital church…the most fun I had was seeing Exponential through the eyes of some gamers.
 
I stayed in a low end AirBNB with eight gamers, most of which were new to the idea of Exponential. And seeing their response to the conference, and to the ideology, was invigorating.
 
So why not do a podcast on it? I was so wrapped up doing conference stuff I didn’t have time to do this interview, but I’ve got Mark Lutz from Lux Digital Church doing this interview directly from Expo Orlando. Let’s talk about the conference and let’s talk about collaboration…and let’s find out what’s next for the Gamer Church, on this episode of The Church Digital Podcast.
