        <![CDATA[<p>Mark Lutz sits down with Doug Parks, founder of Intentional Churches, for a practical conversation about helping believers move from spectatorship to personal ownership of the Great Commission. Together, they unpack how churches, digital ministries, streamers, creators, and online communities can avoid reinforcing consumeristic faith and instead build communities where people are equipped to reach “their one.” Doug shares the heart behind Intentional Churches, the importance of radical alignment, the danger of institutional thinking, and how tools like the “one,” core motivators, and discovery frameworks can help ministry leaders design with clarity, purpose, and mission. This episode is especially helpful for anyone serving in nerd culture ministry, digital church, livestreaming, Discord communities, or creative evangelism spaces. </p>]]>

Matt and Amanda tell us about how God moved them to start a fully digital church for gamers years before anyone else would even dream of the idea. Matt and Amanda have inspired many of the digital missionaries that you see on Twitch and most of whom you will hear from on this show. These pioneers share their story and some of the things they wish they had known when they first got started.
