The Metaverse & The Church

by | Church Communication, Engagement, Leadership, Podcasts, Streaming, Video

Most likely, you’ve heard about the metaverse, and you may have heard that there are churches participating in the metaverse. What does it look like to do this? Why would a church consider having space in the metaverse? How do you do it from a technical perspective? Discover the answers to these questions and more as we listen to Nate Anderson and Toby Walters discuss this different community-engaging option for churches.

Meet Nate and Toby

Guest Speaker: Nate Anderson

Nate Anderson is a video expert passionate about helping churches communicate better visually, creating excellent, engaging, immersive experiences for their audiences. He has served as a church leader, video director for events, concerts, and tours with tens of thousands in attendance, and as a marketer/brand partner for innovative leading video companies. He is also the founder of ChurchSpec, a new platform launching soon helping build connections between church technical leaders and technical partners serving ministries.

Guest Host: Toby Walters

Toby is the fearless leader and captain of sarcastic, comic relief at ChurchGear. He’s been leading worship and selling gear for over 20 years. He has a wife who loves him with the fiery passion of a million suns (and is also currently rolling her eyes) and two kids that Toby is trying his darnedest to develop a love and passion for music and the Church…or at the very least, turn off the light when they leave a room! Toby has a strong passion for the Church and worship/tech staff members. He wants to save you from that scary closet full of old gear that haunts the back hallways of every church in America!
