Context Not Content - Mike van Goch

Christians must engage with the internet thoughtfully and theologically.

Mike van Goch is on Theology Meets World with host Jake Doberenz to talk about the intersection of theology and the internet, particularly in a post-pandemic world. They discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by online ministry, the nature of the internet as a “sinful” tool, and the complexities of discipleship in a digital age. Mike clearly emphasizes the importance of community and relationships in discipleship, which mere “content” can’t provide. The conversation also touches on practical steps for engaging with technology in a way that aligns with Christian values.
