Question #1 (2:39): What is the best way to share to all of social content using 1 app?

Question #2 (9:55): How did you guys meet your wives?

Question #3 (29:40): We are a small (but multi-generational) church with a part-time staff, all of whom wear many hats, so we are very limited on the content we can create. What platforms and types of content do you think we should be prioritizing when creating?

Question #4 (32:15): Which of the social platforms will become the most worthy of investment over the next year or so? I'm a one-woman team and I can only do so much.

Question #5 (34:18): Can you do  social media post ideas for small churches again with some new ideas? I feel like I post the same thing over and over. I always hear you saying repeat = defeat, every time I repeat a post!

Question #6 (45:34): Does Instagram grid aesthetic matter still? I've gotten feedback from some staff that my SocialSermons fill up our Instagram grid and it looks like our pastor is egocentric since the grid is all stills of him. So I've resulted to posting 5-6 photos of families at our weekend services each week in addition at the SocialSermons to keep the grid looking family oriented. That's been a lot of caption writing and it's tough to have that many new pictures weekly.

DRAFT SEGMENT (52:39): The Best Christian Rock Festival Lineup

Question #7 (01:49:32): I attend a church of less than 100 and have a lot of older generation rather than younger people in the church, due to this, it's sort of hard to explain the concept of social media and technology, especially when we implement them in our events. What's the best way of going about this situation?

Question #8 (01:53:24): How much value do you put into boosting posts/ads on social media? Are there any general recommendations you would give for how to use paid advertising on social platforms?

Question #9 (01:56:11): If Threads is destined to fail, what is the value in getting started with it?

Question #10 (02:00:17): How long and how much work, does it take to shoot a single podcast?

Question #11 (02:02:58): What's wrong lately?

Question #12 (02:17:13): What's one weird pet peeve you have?

Question #13 (02:21:37): Can you make a video on the balance of working in social media? I've been following you for 10 years now, and you constantly have insanely good ideas. All the more, you always give off a presence of peace. I can't work social media like that and a lot of people struggle with the mental side of it. How are you doing this?

Question #14 (02:23:05): My Pastor loves videos for everything. He would rather post a video on our website About Us page than write a paragraph explaining who we are. I don’t think people will watching a video and would rather read or even skim the paragraph. Who’s right?

On this episode of the Pro Church Tools Show we talk with the social media and production directors from Legacy Church in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Ruth Seal and Vitaliy Kot joined us to let us in on their social media strategy, their production process, and how they work together to create viral content to reach millions with the message of Jesus. We talk about the philosophical to the very practical, and everything in between.
