Social media should never be a bullhorn of self-promotion. That’s something we should know by now.
But how can social media be a way you can serve individuals? So often we try to engage with our entire audience. We offer something for everybody. What if we just offered something for one person?
That’s what Phil Bowdle’s church did. They asked for song requests for an upcoming worship event. But they choose several requests they would never play for the event and spent an hour recording those songs and sharing them with people. They responded on an individual level.
It was more about showing how much they value people than being efficient with their time or trying to maximize their reach. They had some fun and made people’s day.
