Welcome to Digital Media Church (formerly the SMC Podcast)!

In this episode, Matt Williams introduces the new chapter of a podcast that has served church and ministry leaders with over 450 episodes—and explains why digital ministry is no longer optional.

Matt unpacks how social media is just one piece of the digital ministry puzzle and why churches must see every online touchpoint—websites, email, podcasts, YouTube, social, livestreams, and more—as a mission field, not just a marketing channel.

Learn how digital ministry has evolved from "post consistently" to a full discipleship strategy and why today's Great Commission is also a "digital commission". Understand the dangers of digital noise—which can pull people away from hope and community—and discover how churches of any size can work smarter, not harder, using free and low-cost tools. Moving forward, we will dive deeper into: Websites & SEO, Email Marketing, Content Strategy, Podcasting & Video Production, and AI Tools for Ministry.

If you're a pastor, communications director, or volunteer who feels overwhelmed by digital, this podcast is here to come alongside you with practical strategies and a kingdom-first approach.
