MINISTRY TIP: The Pastor and Social Media with Dominic Steele

Our regular episode is running 24 hours late as Dominic Steele is in COVID isolation. In place Dominic has a series of hints on how we as pastors can best conduct ourselves on social media.

1. You are not a private Christian you are a leader. Set an example for the believers in speech, conduct, in love, in faith and in purity 1 Timothy 4:12

2. Shine like stars in a crooked and depraved medium Philippans 2:15

3. Be aware that unbelievers and believers are lurking/watching your posts and comments. Be wise in the way you act towards outsiders. Colossians 4:5

4. Face to face is best. 1 Thessalonians 3:6

5. Have generally outsider focused material on your website and facebook page. Internal communication and internal Christian debates in Facebook groups.

6. Beware of the expectations and dangers of the medium you are operating in.

7. Recognise that while you may be a public Christian other people are not.
