info_outlineThis episode was based on a friend's Facebook post asking for 10 reasons to to leave Facebook. I responded with some reasons and then chose to do a podcast episode with 10 Tips for how individuals and churches can engage on Facebook for good.
1. See it as a tool.
2. See it as 1 tool in your toolbox.
3. Use it strategically to serve a larger mission.
4. Never forget that you are the guest in a public space.
5. Never forget that you represent your God, your church, your community.
6. Social media is about influence. We do not expand influence through burning bridges.
7. "Yes, and" is conversation. "Yes, but" is argument. Nothing moves forward without common ground.
8. Please don't equate yourself with Jesus or the prophets as an excuse for being offensive.
9. Don't get sucked into other people's drama.
10. Take regular breaks, unplug, get outside and breathe, be completely present with real people. (Turn off push notifications).
