The Wounds Of The Faithful

EP 189: Reaching Those Held Captive by the Dark Side of the Internet: XtianNinja/Al Descheneau
We have our friend Al Descheneau aka XtianNinja back on the podcast for the 3rd time! He is talking about his new book The Art of Digital Influence, teaching Christian content creators how to use their gifts for digital ministry.
We talked about why the people hurt by church, gamers sitting in a basement, and those who don't leave the house, will never come to your church. We need to go where they are with the Gospel, just like Jesus did!
Be sure to listen to Al's previous interviews to hear about his abuse story and how he started his ministry!

Hello! My name is Al Descheneau, known online asXtianNinja (Christian Ninja) and the Executive Director ofTACO: The Alliance for Creative Outreach. After 16 yearsas a full-time solo pastor, I followed God’s call to become afull-time online missionary and mentor to Christiancreators. As a Canadian, husband, father of four, author,and someone who has faced abuse and mental healthchallenges, I bring a unique perspective to digital ministry.
My mission is to use my ministry experience and creative skills to create meaningful,entertaining content and train up a world-changing generation of Christian creators thatcan bring the light of the gospel to people that will never be reached by traditional missions.I’m blessed to lead a pioneering ministry that’s transforming lives—and I invite you to sharein this excitement!In Jesus’ Parable of the Great Banquet the master of the house, upon hearing that hisinvited guests wouldn’t come, told his servants to “go out to the highways and hedges andcompel people to come in, that my house may be filled.” (Lk 14:12-24) In the same way, I feelcompelled to reach beyond traditional boundaries, ensuring that no one is overlooked—be itgamers, seekers, or the spiritually disenfranchised.
