Oh man! Just when I get settled in doing something, everything changes again. I think this is one reason I've stepped away from doing a lot of social media stuff for church in recent months. I'm tired and somedays it's just hard work. And there's enough hard work to do. But, for all that, Brady, I'm glad you help me and others to keep up. Thanks for all you do.

First of all, great video with great insight. Respectfully, one point of contention (thats just me being picky): is that Facebook didn't launch with a news feed. (Remember the mini-feed when it debuted?) Twitter began the news feed, FB stole it.

Great insights! As additional input, subconsciously I had to tell myself to stay in on your points because I was pretty sure you are reading off a teleprompter. Being able to rip that kind of complexity of communication off from memory as fast and fluidly as you do, without jump cuts, pushing in or out, would be crazy impressive…so the effect is one of signaling that you’re reading off a teleprompter. Not a bad thing, another tool in the communicator belt, but as I engage content I’m intentionally aware that I have to proactively engage more effort to stay engaged where I’m aware a teleprompter is in place. Nuances of awareness AND affirmation of your point that sermons and live conversations have a powerful impact in online media! Loved your video, super insightful and empowering!

Little late for this comment to be seen but you do a great job explaining your reasoning to multiple generations in an empathetic manner. From the boomer pastor who may not understand the importance social media, to the casual older millennial who thinks that social media hasn't changed since 2016. You have an example for each point that relates to where they are in a way that is from a trusted advisor and not talking down to them. It's fun to watch. You put into words what a professional in the industry with a degree in social media advertising couldn't quite phrase (pfp is old old lol). Earned a sub!

@MBergyman You can fear technology all you want. I challenge you to find statistics that prove that churches using social media are condemned by God, or suffer from a lack of closeness to Him, vs churches who don't use any social media, which includes youtube or forums It's the same fear that churches use to stick with pews when they only have one room and no space for kids work. That same reasoning when a struggling church pays 50k to fix the organ because they will refuse to come without it. The same reasoning that says children should be seen and not heard in church. Demonise social media all you want. Blame it for increased problems in the church. You think social media is an invention of the devil and no good comes from it, it is anti Christian. .....no? You didn't say those exact words? Some churches fall into the temptation of relying purely on social media? Then as I said. Social media is a tool. If you cannot wield it correctly then abandon the tool. But don't demonise those who do use it to God's glory. Yes. If you say social media is purely negative, then you are saying it is anti Christ.

I'm gonna sound like a massive boomer here, but I really don't see the need for most churches to be involved in social media in sense other than livestreaming services for those who can't be there and want to participate. Even then, after the pandemic I see more people choosing to stay at home because it's available there rather than joining with their church family in person, so even that is debatable whether or not it is a good thing. I think there's a place for online ministries like apologetics. But for the most part, I'm really not sure SM 'content production' is a good thing for churches. Coming from experience working in small-mid sized churches: Nobody cares about a churches social media feeds, quippy sermon clips or inspirational verse pics. I was asked to help out with the social media presence of the church I was at, but I looked at the people who were being reached, who were engaging online, and it was the same, small group of people. I looked at some of the biggest, most popular churches' social media feeds in my country, and even though they posted regularly, there was next to no engagement whatsoever. People don't care about it, including the young people. In the end I just concluded that we should be spending time and resources on having a presence in the actual community, rather than social media because it's just not worth the effort, time and money invested in it. I think there is a place for SM in organising youth groups etc, but it is a garbage place for ministry and outreach.

I think your anecdotal experience is skewing your perception of what is possible. Which isn't a bad thing. We all do it. And I can counter your negative experience with a number of positive ones like these: instagram.com/bradyshearer/?img_index=1. I'd also note that today discovery algorithms have a local component. Which is a game changer for churches.

As a Catholic we just try to live in real life haha we’re not trying to be trendy at all. Catholic parishes’ IG accounts mostly share real life events, special masses, news from the diocese etc. Priests may share the Catechism in Reels which is very nice, other influencers, such as sisters may share Bible verses, tutorials on how to pray the Rosary, etc. We don’t make our masses big pop concerts/shows, the Holy Mass is only valid when present, so it’s kinda pointless to get the big production cams out and worry about social media management

People have grown to care too much about what onlookers see. It makes one wonder if most just have always wanted to do commercials or be on TV.
