Question #1 (03:00): In your opinion, what is the best way to be in communication with your church? Text, social media, emails, apps, your own website. etc.? Is there any way to simplify communication?

Question #2 (14:33): Our church has a main Facebook page, but we are multi-site and so we also have a Facebook group for each campus. I've not heard any conversations on if you would differentiate the communication coming out in the different groups or if you would make them similar.  Thoughts?

Question #3 (19:48): Any thoughts on items to hand out at a town fair type of event? Something that people will not be quick to throw away and even fun for kids?

Question #4 (25:38): What is the best hot dog?

Question #1 (01:49): I'd love to know if you have any tips for how to address a pastor leaving on your church website and throughout your social media content. 

Question #2 (16:42): I am a volunteer photographer at my church and I don't feel like I'm being engaged creatively. How do I communicate that I don't like how I'm being used without seeming rude or ungrateful for the opportunity to serve a church I otherwise love?

Question #3 (23:25): If a church has 10K members how many social media team should there be?

Question #4 (26:27): How much does criticism sting you?

Question #1 (01:13): Do you plan to talk about the upcoming changes with Facebook? Will the intention to show us more viral/ad content and less from friends and people we follow severely restrict Facebook’s usefulness as a platform for engagement? Should we look for alternatives?

Question #2 (17:48): Wanted to get your opinion on a possible engagement post for our church’s FB. The question is, "if you could solve one of the world's problems, what would it be?" Should churches shy away from questions like these online and leave them for a more intimate small group setting?

Question #3 (26:01): How important do you feel an intro video before services is? When I say intro video in our context, I mean a 60 second video played every week before each service, showing different ministries, people, etc., from our church.

Question #4 (29:14): What are your favourite sneakers under $100 - not Air Force 1s?
