This week, my wife, Marty, and I had the honor of attending a church planter's retreat sponsored by the Converge Northwest District and held at the beautiful Cannon Beach Christian Conference Center on the rugged Pacific coast in northern Oregon. Read on to discover just a small amount of what was seen and heard at that relaxed gathering. Maybe you and your church can learn from my observations.
When it comes to social media, pastors need to be not just good but excellent stewards of the use of their time and use of social media. This is true both of personal social media accounts and also your church or ministry accounts. In this blog, I will attempt to suggest some guidelines for pastors.
During 2020, the use of social media has been the source of way too much division and negativity. Virtually everyone using Facebook or Twitter has lost friends over differing opinions and viewpoints, especially political ones, or they have chosen to "defriend" people who were on their friends or peeps list. How sad all this is. For my last ministry blog of 2020, let me share with you how we can get back to using social media to build up rather than tear down relationships.
