In today's new ministries, the presentation answers whether or not the church should engage in social media, with whom it should engage and the basics of engagement. I also touch on potential pitfalls and the unintended consequences of social endorsement. There are businesses that will benefit from this presentation's section on "social endorsement" from a communications perspective, as well as, delineating the difference between organizational and leadership social accounts.
