Faith and Social Media

This episode explores the intersection of faith and social media, emphasising the importance of sharing God's love and the Word through platforms like WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.

This episode delves into the intersection of faith and social media, exploring how these platforms can be used as a mission field to share God’s love and the Word without being preachy.

The hosts, Opeyemi and Lum, introduce themselves and share their journeys to faith. Opeyemi, who came to faith at a very young age, and Lum, who found Christ at 17, discuss their active engagement on social media platforms like WhatsApp, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. They emphasise the importance of sharing Bible verses and scriptures on social media to capture the algorithm and reach a wider audience 

Lum shares a touching testimony about a friend who found solace in daily scriptures posted on WhatsApp statuses during a difficult time. This highlights the impact of using social media to share the Word of God and how it can provide comfort and guidance to those in need.

The discussion also touches on the challenges of navigating social media’s toxic environment while staying true to one’s values. The hosts stress the importance of responding to negativity with love and kindness, as well as being intentional in interactions to reflect God’s grace. They also mention the significance of monitoring screen time and being discerning about the content one engages with to avoid being influenced by negative material.

Pippa joins the conversation, adding insights on how art and creative visualisations of biblical stories can make the Word more relatable and engaging for a broader audience. The episode concludes with a reminder that the way we interact on social media can show God’s love and optimism, encouraging others to explore faith and spirituality.
