#OC12-Jon Acuff at Orange

On Friday, Reggie Joiner interviewed Jon Acuff on the main stage.  Jon Acuff has written a book, hosts a conference, and has a popular blog called "Stuff Christians Like." Acuff had a lot of great suggestions regarding the use of social media in ministry.  Here are my notes:

"Either we get into social media or we miss an opportunity."

The church needs to catch up.  Here are some suggestions:
  • Don't be afraid of "I don't know."
  • Don't be afraid to talk to someone half your age.
  • Go where your community is.
  • Be who you are.
  • Ask what kinds of problems you can solve with this.
"When you wound online, you don't get to speak in love later."

Check back tomorrow for notes from Kara Powell & Doug Fields.
