Did you know you can read online reviews of your church?

How often have you talked about “reaching people where they are”—and realized that much of the time, they are on the Internet?

We’ve been living in a digital world for quite a while now. Justin Wise speaks about social media as this generation's printing press—a revolutionary technology that can spread the gospel farther and faster than we can imagine.

It’s time to take what we know (and admit what we don’t know) and learn together how to move forward as the church. Are you ready to think theologically about this digital age and reach people in a new way?

JUSTIN WISE is a social media strategist focused on helping people get results from their social media strategy. Justin speaks on the topic of social media strategy at national conferences such as the NRB Research Symposium, CLA Internet & Ministry Technology Summit, and the Nonprofit Leadership Academy. He is a founding partner of Some Company, a social marketing agency. Prior to that, Justin received his Master of Divinity from Bethel Seminary while working at the largest Lutheran church in the country, Lutheran Church of Hope. He has served as the Executive Director for the Center for Church Communication and teaches public relations as an adjunct professor at Drake University. Justin lives in Des Moines, IA (by choice) with his wife and two children. Connect with him at www.JustinWise.net.
