#172: Should I Be Talking About Religion & Politics in My Business or Ministry Social Media Feeds?

November 10, 2024

This is a topic that has the potential to redraw relational lines in an instant.

Have you ever lost an “IRL” friend as a result of posting something “provocative” on social media that referenced religion or politics? If you lived through 2020 and had any views that tracked with medical freedom or disagreeing with “the government,” and posted about them, I bet you did. My husband and I lost a few, I can tell you that.

But does the risk of agitating certain relationships justify staying silent on certain matters God has told you to make a sound about? Here’s the thing . . .

What you make a sound about — even the sound you make on social media — should really be driven by only one thing: Has God given you the grace and the permission to say that thing to the people He’s called you to serve?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we’re dismantling the lie that says you should *never* post about religion or politics in your business or ministry feeds. We’re getting down to what the Bible actually has to say about what we should speak up about and what we shouldn’t. If you’re ready to know the simple way to know if you should be posting about these provocative topics on your social media feeds, go ahead and: Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

Acts 18:9-11
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
