Is This the End of the SMC Podcast?
Let’s stop doing this in 2022!
And that is to stop convincing everyone but instead focus on those who stayed. Instead of increasing the number of followers, let’s improve the quality of the content we are delivering to help in improving our ministries to perform better in this fast-paced and ever-changing digital world.
Join Social Media Church host Nils Smith and Aaron Magnuson in this episode as they talk about what the future for Social Media Church is and is it really the end for #SMCPodcast?

Show Notes:
Ep. 12: Diversity in the Church - Jeremiah Betron
Pastor Jeremiah shares how Irving Bible Church has been very intentional about becoming a multi-ethnic church that reflects God’s vision for his kingdom. One of the ways they began this journey was by starting conversations around race and ethnicity, so they could learn and grow together—these discussions were not always easy, but so worth it! If you want to discover more about these questions, go to https://irvingbible.org/becoming to access their video series. You won’t regret it.

Ep. 11: Giving Processes Represents Lives - Jeremiah Betron
How can giving reports and financial data tell a compelling story? Because numbers represent people. Dr. Jeremiah Betron, operations pastor at Irving Bible Church, has a passion for church admin and operations. In this episode, he shares specific strategies that allow his donors to see the impact of their giving. In doing so, he explains how his church builds a meaningful relationship with each giver at IBC.

Ep. 10: Snowball Generosity - Tani Keller
Tani Keller, Executive Pastor with Stockbridge Community Church in GA, shares the snowball effect that generosity continues to make in the Kingdom. During the Pandemic, Tani and her pastor set a goal to double their generosity, which they exceeded. By living out their motto" When you give, people live", they began sending pastors checks with a note of encouragement that made a timely and powerful impact on the Kingdom. We believe these encouraging stories and first time giver process will inspire you and expand your ministry impact in ways you never imagined.

UPDATE: from Aaron
We are finally in the post-pandemic transition phase in this fast-changing digital world. This team-up doesn’t sound so good but it’s happening now.
How are churches dealing with this transition? Is it safe to go out and hold physical church services like we used to? What happens to our digital presence?? How is this affecting our ministries??
These are just some of the many questions we’re answering together as we go through this transition season.
Join Social Media Church host Aaron Magnuson in this episode as he talks about Social Media Church’s challenges since the Social Media Conference last July (and what you, as a church leader can learn from it!), and many other exciting plans for the community here at Social Media Church.
Exciting times coming ahead!

Starting, Building, and Sustaining Your Volunteer Media Team with Briana Zananiri
There are a couple of reasons why an employee stays with a company. A few of these reasons are having a safe working environment, the feeling of being valued, and financial security.
By being a volunteer, financial security is obviously not applicable. A common denominator volunteers have is having the heart of a servant. So, if there’s something a leader could do for his/her volunteer, that is to help them grow and develop their crafts.
In this episode, podcast guest and one of the SMC Conference speakers, Briana Zananiri shares the blueprint of starting, building, and sustaining a group of media team volunteers in the church world.

Your Building Is a Crutch with Jeff Reed
As churches continue to ride and embrace the complex yet exciting wave of social media, it’s best to be reminded and grounded of the purpose of why we are utilizing these platforms – that is to make real connections and relationships in our sphere of influence so we can bring people to Christ.
So if our goal is only to get more likes, engagements, or shares on social media, then we need to reevaluate things.
In this episode, host Aaron Magnuson shares a conversation with Stadia’s Director of Digital Church Planting and our podcast guest, Jeff Reed about the importance of discipleship in a phygital church.

The Cre8tive Lead Pastor Larry Weathers II
There’s no such thing as a ‘silver bullet’ on social media. The key to success is consistency.
