Here are a few best practices for sharing gospel-centered things online.
Focus on Relationships
- Follow people that uplift you.
- Connect with old and new friends. Reach out to people who live near and far.
- Avoid using social media to compare yourself to others. Instead, look for ways to celebrate others’ joys and accomplishments.
- Give genuine and positive compliments like: “Congratulations!” “I am so proud of you!” “Thank you for sharing!” and “I love this!”
How to Share
- Be yourself. Be genuine. Don’t exaggerate or pretend to be something you are not.
- Don’t preach to others, but simply explain what brings joy to your life.
- Ask questions and involve people.
- Use your page to reflect who you are as a disciple of Christ.
- Express what the content you are sharing means to you and why you are sharing it.
What to Share
- Share uplifting content. Help others feel God’s love by sharing what you are grateful for. Talk about the people you love, positive experiences, and things that inspire you.
- Share your beliefs. Build upon what you have in common with others. Share a quote or video that inspires you. Invite a friend to sign up to receive inspiring emails using Inspire Your Inbox.
- Talk about Jesus Christ. Mention your faith in Him. When people are ready and show interest, invite them to learn more about Jesus’ gospel and His restored church.
- Follow accounts that uplift you, such as Come Unto Christ on Instagram or Facebook or the Church account on Instagram or Facebook.
