6 to Seek Out in 2023

Ever since 2016, I have been highlighting some people each year that I have learned from and think you should follow and learn from on social media, as well. You can find the previous years here: 2016, 2017 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

All of the people highlighted have an emphasis on online ministry in some way. Here are the top 6 to seek out in 2023:

Jeff Reed and The Church Digital Podcast. I have highlighted Jeff before, but Jeff has taken on new responsibilities since COVID hit thus making him a MUST FOLLOW. As the founder of The Church Digital, the Director of Metaverse Church NEXT, Leadership Network and the Digital/Metaverse Regional Director, NewThing Network, Jeff has a ton of insights and connections to what is on the horizon with online ministry. 

Andy Mage, Mark Lutz and the Online Church Blueprint. This new podcast is your “how to” show for all things digital and online church. Hosts Andy Mage and Mark Lutz will be giving you tips, tricks, and best practices for online church services, digital small groups, discipleship, and anything else you can think of. 

Joey Santos, Jason Morris and Digital Pastor Community. Joey and Jason have been part of online ministry for years. They know what it is like to be an Online Pastor and can offer encouragement and support. 

Stuart McPherson, Michael Uzdavines and Metaverse Church. While people have been doing ministry in the metaverse for a while now, it is still relatively new. That is why Stuart and Michael have a podcast dedicated to how to do ministry effectively in the metaverse.

Jon Pyle and Better on the Inside. Jon podcasts regularly about how to work for a church without losing your soul. He also has a "Better on the Inside Facebook Group" where he encourages the community share their stories and encourage each other in their spiritual journeys.

Hector Martinez, Sarah Kinzer and Pocket Pulpit Podcast. Hector and Sarah co-host a fantastic podcast about social media ministry.
