Leadership Network Podcast | Episode 4
Guest: DJ Soto, Lead Pastor, VR/MMO Church
Host: Jeff Reed - Metaverse Church NEXT Director

Let’s get a sneak peek of the future. Actually, it’s not really the future; it’s already here. Web3 is typically defined as the third generation of online services. Let’s use some fun words: artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, blockchain, bitcoin… the future is already here. What does your church look like through the web3 lens?

For the conversation we’re bringing in DJ Soto, Lead Pastor of VR/MMO Church and arguably the Bishop to the metaverse. As the pioneer to church in the metaverse, DJ has been doing virtual reality church for years now. And while many find VR controversial, acceptance of a metaverse ecclesiology has allowed DJ to progress further down the road, addressing many of these web3 context through his VR/MMO Church. By the way, MMO is “Massive Multiplayer Online” video games. So, DJ is multiplying churches not only in virtual reality, but in role playing games like Final Fantasy, Rust, Black Desert online, and others.

Freaking out? Don’t. Jump on the Metaverse Church NEXT and join us in a conversation on what your church could look like tomorrow, and what steps you should be taking today.
