Hi Los,

Here’s my one question about leading with social media…

How do you get buy in from those you are leading to use the social media. I’ve built a blog for my team, posted resources there, spent many hours ensuring it is a media rich experience, and emailed the team endlessly about new posts and resources. By the stats, no one goes there, and no one has ever commented. They don’t seem to get the “concept” of a blog.

Stuck, and a bit frustrated.

well ya look more like a 24mo. to me…

(yeah ok so that lame..but you had to have giggled just alittle)

question:

do you believe that the use of social media will eventually take over from “hands-on” ministry? and…how do you stress this and advise to keep this from happening.

just saying because for the most part…we’re a lazy people. (that was a totally general, broad statement)

29 comments no made 30.

Congratulations, you’ve met your class attendance goal!

I would ask, something to the tune of, “how far is too far in social networking ministry? at what point does the difference between cyberland and real life face to face interaction?”

In response to article in last months collide mag.

Sorry about the name problem. You wouldn’t believe how many spellings there are for Jesse.

I would like to know if there are any heuristics, or rules of thumb, for how to estimate the ROI for learning and engaging in this technological stuff.

Any kind of way to think about the ROI of social networking, or this kind of stuff, would be very helpful!!!!

Seriously, Kameron would have had a meltdown over the T thing. At our church we have to sign them in every week and they print off name stickers for the kids (let’s not talk about how much paper and ink that wastes every Sunday). Without fail, EVERY week they get Kameron’s age group wrong. It should say Kindergarten and for whatever reason it ranges anywhere from 2 year olds to pre-k to 3rd grade. They are always baffled because no one else’s gets mixed up… just my kid… with Autism. And every week he melts down while the poor volunteer tries to fix it. *sigh* I can’t wait until the day that he can suck it up and move on… who knows, maybe he’ll still meltdown when he’s 30. His wife can fix it for him then! haha

Totally random comment, I know! Sorry!

That’s not too bad, I got an email today from a class I’m attending this weekend that was addressed:

Dear, Ms. Jerry Crespo,

I wonder if I should play along and walk in with a wig and a purse?

I think social media allows us to reveal to any of our “friends” (meaning coworkers, neighbors, business contacts, etc) how we live our lives.

As we blog and tweet, we show people that a relationship with Jesus Christ doesn’t exempt us from life on Earth. They’ll see that we get frustrated or angry, that we struggle with sin.

In short, social media allow us to show people that not every Christian is Ned Flanders.
