Meeting new people and learning from others is something that I really enjoy doing. That is why, ever since 2016, I have been highlighting some of those people each year that I think you should follow and learn from.

The idea of a “sports ministry” may not be widely known, but it involves merging a passion for sports with the love for Jesus and His followers. This is what Sports Spectrum is all about – shining a light on the intersection of faith and sports.  Sports Spectrum is an interview-driven podcast hosted by former ESPN Senior Producer Jason Romano. He came to realize that there were people doing his work, but for a greater purpose. This realization called him to start something similar, but for God this time. In this episode of the Social Media Church Podcast, Jason Romano of the Sports Spectrum Podcast, shares his experience listening to God's call for him to transition out from one job to another — one that involved his passion for both sports and for God.

The big debate in church technology is whether to have an app or not. It's still a conversation that needs to be discussed by leaders and pastors alike, especially those who seek to innovate their church culture. Churches now have access to good technology more than ever. There are plenty of opportunities for ministries to conveniently reach out to their community.

Empowering women has been a focus in different industries but it's not always talked about within the church. We believe it's time we start a conversation as women offer tremendous value to the faith community.  Women in the church are important so it's a must that churches include them and to allow them to use their talents and gifts for the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Women can do so much more!  It's time that women are given different opportunities in the ministry. Women are encouraged to become the people God wants them to be, just as how we empower men the same way. By empowering everyone and not just women, the church can become a community that fully reflects the love of God.  Watch this episode of the Social Media Church Podcast as Nils Smith and Katie Allred have an interesting conversation about empowering women in the ministry. Learn why churches should give more opportunities to women beyond the kitchen and the home.  Join us in this conversation!   Show Notes: Nils Smith Website Nils Smith Facebook Nils Smith Twitter Nils Smith Instagram Nils Smith LinkedIn Katie Allred Facebook Katie Allred Website Katie Allred Twitter Katie Allred Instagram Katie Allred LinkedIn Social Media Church Discord Social Media Church Webinar Amplify Social Media

Many people say that a church doesn't need to worry about reviews. But we think otherwise. It doesn't matter if reviews are on Yelp, Google, or any other social media platform. A review is still a review—and it matters.  Pastors and leaders must understand that reviews can affect the church more than you think. They don't exactly tell the world how God is moving in your community, but they tell you that some things ought to change.  Reviews by real people–newcomers, regular churchgoers, volunteers, and staff–should matter more. Every opportunity should be an avenue to improve and encourage others in telling how the church has made an impact in their lives.  Watch this episode of the Social Media Church Podcast as Nils Smith and Aaron Magnuson discuss getting reviews online. Learn why you shouldn't ignore the feedback you receive, what you can do, and how you can highlight the work that God is doing.  Join us in this conversation!   Show Notes: Aaron Magnuson Facebook Aaron Magnuson Twitter Aaron Magnuson Instagram Aaron Magnuson LinkedIn Aaron Magnuson Clubhouse Aaron Magnuson Facebook Aaron Magnuson Twitter Aaron Magnuson Instagram Aaron Magnuson LinkedIn Aaron Magnuson Clubhouse Aaron Magnuson TikTok Nils Smith Facebook Nils Smith Twitter Nils Smith Instagram Nils Smith LinkedIn Social Media Church Discord Social Media Church Webinar Amplify Social Media

When the pandemic started, technology paved a way for churches around the world to reach a greater audience. Thousands of ministries have turned to livebroadcasting, and people definitely have seen its benefits—that they can still attend Sunday services  without physically being present at church.
