## Resource

Mark Lutz sits down with Doug Parks, founder of Intentional Churches, for a practical conversation about helping believers move from spectatorship to personal ownership of the Great Commission. Together, they unpack how churches, digital ministries, streamers, creators, and online communities can avoid reinforcing consumeristic faith and instead build communities where people are equipped to reach “their one.” Doug shares the heart behind Intentional Churches, the importance of radical alignment, the danger of institutional thinking, and how tools like the “one,” core motivators, and discovery frameworks can help ministry leaders design with clarity, purpose, and mission. This episode is especially helpful for anyone serving in nerd culture ministry, digital church, livestreaming, Discord communities, or creative evangelism spaces.
