NCMU 51 | FlatCapDapperPastor: Treating Digital Spaces as Mission Fields

SHOW NOTES

In this episode, Bubba interviews Leighton Seys (FlatCapDapperPastor), a digital minister who has been streaming on Twitch for five years, primarily doing daily Bible reading and sermon prep rather than gaming content. Flat Cap shares his journey from traditional ministry through drama and disaster relief work into digital spaces, explaining how he learned to align the platform with his actual gifts rather than forcing himself into gaming streams. He discusses his work with The Church Digital, including the Control Alt Redeem podcast that validates Twitch streamers doing ministry, the Equipping Digital Missionaries program that treats platforms as mission fields with unique cultures, and the newly launching TCD Care initiative providing digital pastoral care through partnership with Exodus Ministries in South Africa.
