Welcome to the digital missions podcast, a podcast with one goal - to help pastors, evangelists and digtial missionaries like you reach your first million people with the gospel! If you've been feeling the tug from the Holy Spirit to get serious about online ministry, you've come to the right place!
About Justin Khoe:
If there was ever such a thing as “the trenches” of digital ministry, Justin has had his body down and elbows deep in the mud for years.
From learning and scaling the topography of YouTube, launching multiple podcasts, to rapid growth on Instagram and TikTok, he takes all of his experience, lessons, mistakes and resilient determination and personalizes his approach for his students who want to steer clear of common setbacks in digital ministry.
Justin is well known in Christian circles for leading the conversation on digital ministry, having taught internationally over the years, touching on one central theme that spans the growth and evolution of social media - how to ignite the church for online evangelism, one device at a time.
As someone who has shared the good news online and refined the art himself, you can rest assured he will guide you towards creating content strategies that work and evolve for the long haul, without breaking your back or the bank.

Justin Khoe: Hey everyone. Welcome to the Digital Missions Podcast. My name is Justin and I'm your host. If you are listening to this episode, cuz you're probably thinking to yourself, what is this show about? And is it for me? And I would just want to put all of my cards on the table. The reason why I do this show is because of one simple thing.
I believe that the gospel changes people's lives! And it doesn't matter if you hear about the gospel from a pulpit, you hear about it on the television, you read it in a book, or if you hear it from a video on the internet. It's not the mechanism that matters, but it's actually the message that matters.
Colby Maier: I, I always felt the Lord was, was saying, this is where people are.
Well, I think Jesus came from heaven to earth to meet us on our level. And you meet people in their bedroom because they're on their phone at 2:00 AM in the morning, scrolling through TikTok, scrolling through reels, and my face shows up and I'm praying over their life and I'm praying over their stress, and I'm praying over their anxiety and I'm speaking hoping to them.
That's meeting people at where they are.
Justin Khoe: At the core of it all, my goal is to help as many people hear the gospel as is humanly [00:01:00] possible. And it just so happens to be that the way that the world works right now is that digital is the way for this to work. What we're seeing in these stories that you're gonna be hearing throughout the entirety of this podcast are stories of pastors and evangelists and digital missionaries who have their boots on the ground.
Who are finding success in making Jesus known out there on the internet. We're talking about literally helping people to reach millions of people with the gospel. And the good news is this, you don't have to be a superstar. You don't have to have a million dollar budget. God will work through you and your faithful efforts if you just step up to the plate.
If you've been feeling the call from the Holy Spirit for the last, I don't know, days, weeks, months, or even years, and you've been sitting on your hands figuring out what in the world do I do, how do I get started. What about all the tech? I just don't know where to go. This podcast is for you. You're gonna hear stories of people who have gotten started, the struggles that they have encountered, and the breakthrough moments that made the difference for them.
My goal with this podcast, quite plainly said, is to help you reach your first [00:02:00] million people with the gospel. Every story, every insight, every little tidbit that you hear from this podcast is to equip you to be a better minister online.
Jean Marcel: If you actually have a following, you have no idea what kind of responsibility God has laid on your lap.
I think it is possible. It's amazing the opportunities we have to get inside doors... that would've never opened.
Justin Khoe: Just a heads up. During every single one of our episodes, you're gonna hear me plugging one of our resources, and it's this resource that is engineered to help you reach your first million people with the gospel.
Every story is gonna be insightful, it's gonna be helpful, but if you're looking for the start to finish, what do I do today? How do I get started? Give me steps one, two, and three. The good news is you don't have to listen to all the episodes, I hope you do, because they're great episodes, they're great friends of mine.
I'm inspired by their stories and I think that you will be too. But if you wanna get started in as little time as possible, you wanna get started right now, all you have to do is send me an email over at hello@digitalmissionspodcast.com, and I will send you our online course for free. That's right, I will send it to [00:03:00] you for free so that you can actually be empowered to reach a million people with a gospel.
Wes Via: The process, the the thinking has impacted my entire ministry, not just my social ministry. I think it's made my preaching better. It's helped me become more aware of what it takes to be heard through the noise of this life, not just online.
Justin Khoe: So that being the case, go ahead and subscribe to the podcast, share the show with a friend, grab some paper and a pencil, take some notes because who knows, your next post might change the very population of heaven.
