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 ---------- Link to episode: - https://open.spotify.com/show/2WIB7QIdChU1vusmhqnQwb?si=c028cd3a496e4ae6 Connect with Kap Chatfield: Kap’s Website: - kapchatfield.com Reach out to Rveal Media: Rveal’s website: - https://site.rveal.media/ Rveal’s LinkedIn: - https://www.linkedin.com/company/rvealmedia/ Rveal’s YouTube channel: - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69p14R2ccMdyUbbmdlWCEw

Being a creative is not just a personality trait, it’s a mandate from God on your life. We are created in His image—which makes us mini-creators. But the blessing of having a creative calling comes with a flip side—to be excellent in your creativity requires discipline—a practice many creatives find difficult to master. In this new episode of Directed Life, host Kap Chatfield sits down with CEO and founder of UREV, Ryan Adams. Together they discuss what it takes to be a creative that produces with excellence and purpose. From mentality shifts to understanding the power of discipline, Kap and Ryan break down what you can do to monetize and scale your creative calling for the Kingdom of God. Check out the full episode for a refreshing dose of truth and wisdom. 🙌 Main Takeaways: 💎 Wisdom comes from the Lord, but cultivating discipline is our responsibility 💎 Our emotions are unreliable—your creativity cannot depend on how you feel 💎 Money, time and opportunities are meant to serve the believer 💎 Your character is determined by how you conduct yourself in your calling Timecodes: ⏰ 00:00-12:12 | Ryan’s journey to Brazil and the birth of UREV ⏰ 12:13-24:51 | Creative evangelism and how to monetize your creativity ⏰ 24:52-32:54 | Switching mindsets and the importance of discipline ⏰ 32:54-42:46 | The mission of UREV and Ryan’s prayer Quotes: 💬 “When creatives understand their calling and their anointing, they come to the realization that money, time and opportunities actually serve their calling, not the other way around.” - Ryan Adams, CEO & Founder of UREV 💬 “God has called creative missionaries to not only lay hands on sick people, but sick systems.” - Ryan Adams, CEO & Founder of UREV 💬 “Wisdom comes from above. Discipline comes from within. Your discipline is your responsibility.” - Ryan Adams, CEO & Founder of UREV 💬 “Our mission is to help creatives walk in godly character because your conduct is your crown.” - Ryan Adams, CEO & Founder of UREV ————————————————- Connect with Ryan Adams: Ryan’s Instagram: - https://www.instagram.com/ryanscottadams/ UREV and UREV Global Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/urev/ - https://www.instagram.com/urevglobal/ UREV’s Website - http://www.urev.org/ Reach out to Rveal Media: Rveal’s website: - https://site.rveal.media/ Rveal’s LinkedIn: - https://www.linkedin.com/company/rvealmedia/ Rveal’s YouTube channel: - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69p14R2ccMdyUbbmdlWCEw

Social media—blessing or a curse? The same tool that is used as a blessing to connect us to people around the world can also be used to interfere with our identity and relationship with the Lord. When we’re focused on getting affirmation from our followers on social media, it can be easy to forget that we are ALREADY affirmed as children of God. 🔥 🎙️ In this new episode of Directed Life, host Kap Chatfield sits down with Chaz Smith, man of God and social media influencer. Together they discuss the duality of social media and how to practice discipline as you navigate it for your business and personal life. Social media is an inevitable part of today’s marketplace. BUT when you use social media from a place of being truly grounded in your identity in Christ, it can’t shake you. Main Takeaways: 💎 The Lord’s love for you is not based on your performance. 💎 Your value is in your identity as a loved child of God. 💎 Social media can illuminate what’s truly in your heart. 💎 You are God’s masterpiece! Timecodes: ⏰ 00:00-08:43 | God’s love is first and unconditional. ⏰08:44-18:14 | Chaz’s explanation of The Prodigal Son ⏰ 18:14-35:49 | Chaz’s social media journey and how God provided ⏰ 35:49-42:54 | Chaz’s prayer Quotes: 💬 “If we’re affected by how a post performs, it’s likely that we’re placing our identity in our performance instead of being sons and daughters of God. I know this from experience.” - Chaz Smith 💬 “Jesus was an influencer. He had all these followers, but what did he say to them? He wasn’t caring about what they thought or said. He said, ‘I am going to say what the Father put in my heart. I’m going to do what He’s calling me to do.” - Chaz Smith 💬 “No amount of money is worth my peace and my relationship with the Lord.” - Chaz Smith 💬 “The discipline of social media is really just about being aware of why you’re doing what you’re doing.” - Chaz Smith ————————————————- Connect with Chaz Smith: Follow Chaz on Instagram: - https://www.instagram.com/chazsmith/ Subscribe to Chaz’s YouTube: - https://www.youtube.com/c/ChazSmith Reach out to Rveal Media: Rveal’s website: - https://site.rveal.media/ Rveal’s LinkedIn: - https://www.linkedin.com/company/rvealmedia/ Rveal’s YouTube channel: - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC69p14R2ccMdyUbbmdlWCEw
