In Episode 3 of The Digital Pavement Podcast, host DeMarquis Battle welcomes Jose Santiago, lead pastor of Life on Mission Church, to discuss the hybrid church model and the development of digital hubs.

Jose shares his journey from the South Bronx to the legal profession, through personal crisis and surrender, and into full-time ministry. The conversation explores how God uses disruption to call leaders into new territory and how digital spaces can serve as modern-day “Samaria” for the church.

Listeners will gain insight into:

• The theological grounding for digital ministry

• Why relationship is essential for real discipleship

• How to move beyond content consumption toward transformation

• The vision behind digital hubs and hybrid church expressions

• Why the future of the church is not digital vs physical — but both together

This episode offers a clear framework for leaders seeking to build intentional community and spiritual growth in both digital and embodied spaces.
