4 Misconceptions about Social Media Ministry - With Kap Chatfield l Ep.035

Online ministry has enabled those called to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach more people than ever before. 🙌

However, this new ease is twofold—it’s just as easy to spread false doctrine as it is to speak truth. As believers, we have to be more vigilant than ever before about what we consume on social media regarding the Word of God.

With the new medium of a digital pulpit, there are new temptations—like wanting to please man, appease our followers and glorifying ourselves over the Lord.

It is our responsibility to listen and speak as GOD leads, not the world. In this new episode of Directed Life, founder and host Kap Chatfield discusses four common misconceptions about doing ministry on a social media platform.

Whether you are receiving or giving the Gospel, this episode is packed with knowledge that will help you navigate through both your social media consumption and creation.

Main Takeaways:

💎 Aim to please God above your followers, even if it causes a loss.

💎 Consuming content has the power to affect your soul and spirit—consume wisely.

💎 Understand the times and mediums of the world, but do not be conformed to them.

💎 Do not be afraid to steward and multiply the talents God has given you.

Timecodes:

⏰ 00:00-13:00 | Guarding your eyes and ears against the false teachings of the world.

⏰ 13:01-17:01 | Prioritize pleasing God over pleasing people.

⏰ 17:02-20:26 | The fear of the Lord should guide what you preach in a digital pulpit.

⏰ 20:27-30:20 | You are meant to steward and multiply your God-given talents.

Quotes:

💬 “What we’re seeing is the normalization of things that are outside of God’s best for humanity. We’re seeing people propagate it from their devices, and I’m wondering, ‘Where is the church?’” - Kap Chatfield, Founder of Directed Life

💬 “There’s a place for studying and understanding how the world does things. However, we need to be very careful to make sure that we’re not becoming like the world through our content consumption.” - Kap Chatfield, Founder of Directed Life

💬 “What you feast your eyes on is going to affect what’s going on in your heart, your mind and your soul. Consuming content that isn’t glorifying to God programs your mind to think things that do not honor God.” - Kap Chatfield, Founder of Directed Life

💬 “Jesus was not moved by the amount of people that were following him. He was willing to say the thing that would lose everybody because he was so dependent on the Father and willing to be obedient, even to the point of personal loss.” - Kap Chatfield, Founder of Directed Life
