You may have heard the philosophical question, “If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?” Replace “tree” with “church” and “forest” for “great service” and you’ll wind up with a different question:

A great guide to Facebook Live is from Mari Smith, “Facebook Live: What Marketers Need to Know.” This is a great place to start from the basics if you don’t already know how to use the feature.
Facebook Live isn’t just for the individual, business, or marketing world. The church can benefit greatly by using Facebook Live each week to let others experience and explore the church through your eyes.

Nobody outside of the ChurchMag staff writers know this, but for the past three months I have dedicated 30 minutes a day to doing something on ChurchMag and of that 900 minutes a month, I have attempted four of those days each week to be towards social media while I work out.
(Because let’s be honest, running is awful, so let’s make it twice as terrible by scheduling out tweets.)
