We live in a social media world and there is no turning back. It will keep on evolving and changing as technology advances more and more. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, a new app or social network comes out and you have to learn it all over again.

So the question isn’t will social media ever stop or will we ever get bored with it. The question is how are Christians to behave in this social media world. As you have probably noticed people don’t always behave properly or make wise decisions on social media, even Christians.

That is why Phil Schneider is back on the podcast. Phil is a Senior Staff Writer for ChurchMag and has a just written a new ebook entitled, “The Social Christian”.

In today’s episode, Phil and I talk about:

• What Phil does with Church Mag
• What is “The Social Christian” book all about and why did he write it
• A breakdown of 3 different aspects of social media as mentioned in the book.

Want to get the book? You can find “The Social Christian” here.
