Episode notes
From Big Eva To Gig Eva
- "Gig Eva" describes social-media-based Christian influencers replacing conference-centered evangelical fame.
- Both Big Eva and Gig Eva grant authority by audience size rather than character or theology.
Attention Rewards Transgression
- Gig Eva rewards transgression and outrageousness to grow audiences on platforms like X.
- That dynamic incentivizes attacks, boundary-pushing, and moral compromise for attention.
Pick One Social Media Lane
- Choose a clear content lane: earnestness, anger, or humor to build a social-media audience.
- Avoid mixing aggressive outrage with pastoral responsibilities that harm deep discipleship.
