Is digital church actually church?


Hi Reader,

Today on the podcast, I sit down with Mark Lutz, founder of Lux Digital Church, and our conversation challenged a lot of assumptions I’ve held about ministry, church, and where people are actually looking for connection.

Mark is reaching people that many traditional churches rarely see 👉gamers, digital natives, and people who may never walk into a church building but are open to real community, real discipleship, and real ministry online.

And before you dismiss that, consider this: for millions of people, digital space isn’t a tool. It’s a place.

We talk about whether a fully digital church can really be a church, what pastors are getting wrong about online ministry, why relationships still matter more than content, and how leaders can better understand the people they’re trying to reach.

You may not agree with everything in this episode. Honestly, I didn’t expect to. But I do think it will stretch your thinking in the best way.

If you care about reaching the next generation, this conversation is worth your time.

🎧 Listen now and take the next step toward healthier leadership. Watch it on YouTube or tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
