Social Media Done Right
What does language mean?
Language is ethnocentric, geographical, and generational, and also in our world… denominationally prevalent. And language is also no longer simply vernacular, tied to the words we say….. but in the digital footprints we leave in our wake each day. I cannot completely understand your needs, your frustrations, desires and wants, hopes and aspirations…if I simply listen to your words. I have to see where you congregate, move, and interact with others. What are your social media accounts saying about you that your words are not? What story are you telling?
Recognizing the importance of social media as a language is the first step in taking our Church into the digital world. Understanding the value and the potential of this medium can help to leverage our ministries and seek engagements in ways never possible before the advent of the internet.
