Some of you might have gotten the reference to the movie titled ,’Ready Player One’. This episode, ‘Ready Player Church’, deals with a new trend sweeping the MetaVerse (3D Facebook for us plebs) and other Virtual Reality platforms by storm…Virtual Reality Church.
It may seem like an unnecessary conversation seeing as though Livestream church seemed to have saved local congregations during the recent 2020 Pandemic. Surely Virtual Reality Church has the same, if not more, potential to contribute to the local congregation?
Perhaps that is the case. It is, however, our love for church that leads us to discuss the potential dangers of virtual reality and its influence on local congregations. We found it fitting to invite our Pastor onto this episode to discuss the issue of church with someone who eats, sleeps and thinks church for a living.
The Body of Christ is worth fighting for. Do we need to fight against Virtual Reality Church, or FOR Virtual Reality Church?
Journey with us this week as we deliberate this issue together with Pastor Gerrie Steenkamp from Deo Victoria Church.

There is currently one major way you can contribute to the goal of this podcast, and that is through a direct financial donation. All funds will be split into a 50/50 split, with 50% going directly to Global Missions and sharing hope in a hopeless world. The other 50% will be used to either contribute to the running costs of the podcast (which are very little for now), or also be sent to missions with the other 50%.
