DJ Soto Talks VR Church [Podcast #281]


by

This week on the podcast we talk with DJ Soto, a church who leads VR Church.

Believing that faith is renewed as people engage with the good news of God’s love on new technology platforms, D.J. Soto began preaching in the world of virtual reality in 2016. He is now the lead pastor of Virtual Reality Church, a church that is intended to be radically inclusive and consistent with Christianity’s long history of adapting to new forms of media. VR Church is the first church to exist entirely in virtual reality.

The images below by Steffen Kraft via his design studio ICONEO are profound. I’ve shared some of my favorites that has some tech connection, but I’d encourage you to go look at the rest. Do note, they are not Christian based. Despite this these culturally meaningful illustrations still matter and are worth our attention.

Backups, Antivirus, and Data Loss [Podcast #280]


by

If you’re not running regular backups and running an antivirus — than you are doing wrong.

This week we talk on the podcast about the importance of having these on your church and ministry computers. Not something that requires a lot of attention, but can run without the user really taking notice. An automated system is certainly the way to go.

Here are a few services we mentioned on the podcast: Dropbox, Backblaze, and Bitdefender.

Tell us some of your favorite backups and antivirus apps and services via Twitter @ChurchMag using #cmagcast or by email at [email protected] and we’ll share it on an upcoming episode.
