All we need is love: discussion with Frank Viola about Social Media Principles and Practice for Christians

All we need is love: discussion with Frank Viola about Social Media Principles and Practice for Christians February 12, 2014

Frank Viola and I connected online to record this conversation via zoom.us, a tool I am finding very helpful. We spoke about how to approach the Internet, and especially how to approach the arguments that occur online.  We spoke about the risks and benefits of social media.  God’s people do not stop being his people when they launch an Internet browser. Exploring together how God would want us to behave in this brave new world is vital.

The conversation was at times humourous, and at times Frank was really quite kind towards me, I tried to reciprocate as best I could but I think I don’t have his smooth tongue!  There is no video as I think Frank is camera shy!  But the audio is well worth a listen whether you are totally new to social media, or are a veteran.

Please let me know in the comments below if you enjoyed this, and whether you would like us to record part two.  We both felt like we had a lot more to say.  Also, if you agree with me that Frank should get a web cam, put that in the comments also.

We would also like to hear about your own thoughts on how Christians should approach their online life.  Feel free to link to anything you have written, or found helpful from someone else anywhere else  below.

We really feel this could be a helpful resource for people, so please do consider linking to it via your own blog, Facebook, or Twitter.
