Social media can be tricky for those of us who minister in churches. Bill and I share four perspectives to help us make wise use of this tool:
- Ask yourself, “Who is my neighbor?” given the endless, often anonymous nature of social media
- Use social media as a pastoral tool, a way to minister to your congregation outside of church services
- Consider how (and if) you want to share about yourself and your family on social media – there are no one-size-fits-all strategies here!
- Remember how powerful loose connections can be (see our reads below!)

About Called – At the Intersection of Life and Ministry

With generous hearts and healthy boundaries, they share practical advice for church staff about working smart, cutting out the bs, and embracing the good in ministry. New episodes on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays.
