S8E2 - Metaverse Church vs Analog Church—with Pastors DJ Soto & Jay Kim
Can you strap on VR goggles and go to church in the metaverse? We asked the author Jay Kim of Analog Church and the pastor DJ Soto of Virtual Reality Church to argue all the wrongs and rights.
Finally, an episode where Adam & Chris aren’t the ones doing all the fighting!
To be fair both these guys are pastors so the debate is probably more of mild-mannered discussion, but it covers some important ground about what it means to be the church, and what the future of the church might look like.
VR CHURCH—PASTOR DJ SOTODJ Soto, Bishop & Pastor or VR Church
D.J. Soto began preaching in the metaverse in 2016. Originally thinking he would plant physical churches, he soon realized a new vision to plant churches in the metaverse. He is now the Bishop of Virtual Reality Church and MMO Church, which are futuristic church expressions that is intended to be radically inclusive and consistent with Christianity’s long history of adapting to new forms of media.
