In Awe by Bruce

Looking for authentic community with positive messaging, real connections, and content generated towards growth and edification? Plus protections that keep out negative and obscene influences? ActsSocial is your place to land. Built on the model of authentic community found in Acts 2.42-47.ActsSocial is a Social Media site with Purpose. Founder and CEO Shawn Whitson explains all this and more in our podcast. (Also, look for Shawn's memoir “Called Out of Nowhere” being released in late fall 2026) ActsSocial Bruce T Davis Shawn Whitson Shawn Whitson is the founder and CEO of ActsSocial, a faith-first alternative gut-punch to Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok built on the model of authentic community found in Acts 2:42 to 47.By December 2022, Shawn had already spent three decades as an entrepreneur, building businesses that thrived and others that failed hard enough to cost him nearly everything. He wasn't looking for a new venture. Then, in the middle of an ordinary morning prayer time, God gave him a clear, specific, and entirely unwelcome assignment: take the Christian technology company he already ran and turn it into a social platform for a spiritual awakening he was convinced was already underway. He had run a technology company before, but nothing like a social platform, and no obvious reason to think he was the man for the job.He built it anyway. Two years of financial strain, technical setbacks, and real opposition followed before ActsSocial launched publicly. Today it reaches believers, and plenty of people who aren't yet believers, in 195 countries and 12 languages, running on a proprietary interest-based, upside-down algorithm engineered to do the opposite of Facebook and TikTok: encouraging users instead of enraging them, with no ad-driven feed and no data harvesting.Shawn's memoir, Called Out of Nowhere, releasing late fall 2026, tells the full and unusually honest story, failures included, of what it actually cost to obey a calling that size. He lives in Texas with his wife of 30 years, Sharee, and speaks candidly about building something he didn't choose and can't take credit for.ActsSocialVideo Testimony

This commitment to community is woven into everything they do - and it became the foundation of Blessn.The story of Blessn began in March 2023, when Gerald Jones became sick of doom scrolling on social media, and found himself bummed out after every TikTok session. It occurred to him that maybe there was a better way. There should be a short form video social media that uplifted and encouraged instead. He thought it would be better to faith scroll instead of doom scroll. He called his business partner, Kevin Clark, who was feeling the exact same way. They decided to create something themselves, that uplifted people about the world and each other. Something that encouraged connectedness.Over the next several years, the two friends poured their faith, creativity, and personal savings into developing the Blessn app, testing every detail to make sure it felt safe, uplifting, and positive.

WILLS POINT, Texas — Church relief teams in Sri Lanka are wading through perilous flood waters to hand-deliver food parcels to families after tropical storms caused devastation across South Asia, claiming more than 1,000 lives. More heavy rainfall is expected in the coming days as Sri Lanka and other parts of the region are left reeling from the cluster of tropical cyclones, forcing thousands to evacuate. “Major flood risks and landslide warnings pose a grave danger to communities and churches," mission agency GFA World (www.gfa.org) reports. “Several of our churches are located within the landslide warning zones, meaning residents must evacuate.” The Texas-based organization has launched an emergency appeal as the death toll in Sri Lanka and across the region continues to climb. In Sri Lanka, an island nation off the Indian subcontinent, more than 360 people have lost their lives, hundreds of homes have been damaged or destroyed, with tens of thousands of people displaced and in temporary shelters. Some areas in the central tea-growing hills have been virtually cut off by flood waters Bishop Daniel GFA World (www.gfa.org) is a leading faith-based global missions agency, helping thousands of national missionaries bring vital assistance and spiritual hope to millions across the world, especially in Africa and Asia, and sharing the love of God. In a typical year, this includes thousands of community development projects that benefit downtrodden families and their children, free medical camps conducted in hundreds of villages and remote communities, and more than 150,000 families provided with the means to break the cycle of poverty through income-generating gifts. More than 40,000 fresh water wells have been drilled since 2007, hundreds of thousands of women are now empowered through literacy training, and Christ-motivated ministry takes place every day throughout 18 nations.

Through his paintings and projects, Anthony's message is clear: art is not only for expression, but for communion with God and an invitation for others to encounter His presence.Anthony has made the journey from mainstream success to spiritual purpose and has seen his social-political art evolve into devotion to Christ, demonstrating how art can be a prophetic voice in culture.Freda's award-winning illustrations and paintings have appeared in numerous publications, including the New Yorker, Time, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times. He has a permanent art exhibit at the 9/11 memorial In NY. Anthony Freda Anthony began his career in advertising, notably working on the infamous Joe Camel campaign. When the FTC ruled the campaign illegal for marketing cigarettes to children, Freda experienced a profound moral awakening that led him to leave advertising behind. He went on to work with prestigious publications such as The New York Times and The New Yorker, but it was his work on an OpEd piece for The New York Times promoting the Iraq War that sparked another ethical reckoning. Realizing he had gone from selling cigarettes to selling war, Freda transitioned once more, joining the early alternative media movement in the 2000s.Freda's work has often pushed boundaries, both politically and artistically. His art is part of the permanent collection of the 9/11 Museum and Memorial in New York, where his piece is one of the only works that questions the official narrative of the events of 9/11. His ten-year tenure with Infowars as an illustrator and writer further cemented his place in the world of controversial alternative news, and he has been vocal about his role in the space.Freda's work, especially his art, continues to stir debate. In 2024, an author in Germany faced legal consequences for simply posting one of his book covers on social media, and Freda himself has been extensively censored for his dissent against the official COVID-19 narrative. He has even been flagged as a potential domestic terrorist for his critical stance and controversial imagery. One of his most notable works is a covert illustration for The Wall Street Journal in 2025, where he secretly adorned Xi Jinping's tie with skull motifs as a subtle critique of global politics.In 2024, Freda worked as an illustrator and media consultant for RFK Jr.'s Super-Pac, AV24, further cementing his role in the political and media landscape. However, in recent years, Freda has pivoted his artistic focus towards Christian art. After decades of political commentary, he now sees the battle as spiritual and has committed to dedicating much of his creative work to Christ, producing original pieces as a devotion to his faith.WebsiteInstagramJesus Park KickstarterSubstack Example
