DESCRIPTION:Digital platforms now hold more sustained human gathering than 
 the streets of most nations. So what happens when the church stops treatin
 g them as tools\, and starts treating them as mission fields?\n\nThis week
  on The Listening Tour on Becoming theChurch.digital\, Jeff Reed sits down
  with Dr. Samuel L. Hayes Jr.\, author of Global Digital Missiology: A Fra
 mework for Christian Leadership in the Digital Age (ElevateInk Academic\, 
 2026).\n\nTHE BOOK\nSam's book gives digital ministry what it has mostly b
 een missing: a missiology. Grounded in research with apostolic leaders acr
 oss six continents\, it lays out the Nine Processes of Global Digital Enga
 gement - how to build the plan\, develop the team\, and execute the strate
 gy - so digital mission is strategic rather than accidental.\nhttps://www.
 amazon.com/dp/1968813063\n\nWHAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT\n- Why platforms functio
 n like nations\, and what "make disciples of all nations" means when a nat
 ion is a platform\n- The Nine Processes\, and where most churches skip str
 aight to posting\n- Stewarding physical-first churches through digital cha
 nge\, and unleashing digital-first ones\n- Who pastors and equips the digi
 tal missionary\n\nABOUT SAM\nDr. Sam Hayes is a retired U.S. Army Lieutena
 nt Colonel who served more than two decades\, including Special Operations
  assignments in 12 countries. He holds a Doctor of Global Leadership from 
 Fuller Theological Seminary\, where his doctoral research first crossed pa
 ths with theChurch.digital. He is Co-International Director of the Interna
 tional Coalition of Apostolic Leaders and founder of Samuel Hayes Ministri
 es\, and lives in North Carolina.\nhttps://www.samuelhayes.org\n\nWatch li
