9:38	Mark Alves@markalves @singingcarolyn @thoward14 What's different is that the video is a single take, no stoping & starting like Vine, etc. #ChSocM @Keek Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 markalves

9:38	Jeff Nelson@boldroastrev @revmanda I had good intentions about doing it myself, but I can't figure out the "easy to use" Wordpress stuff to save my life. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 boldroastrev

9:38	MeredithGould@MeredithGould T3 My fantasy? That people will understand the need for branding and integration across social media plus the website & enewsletter #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 MeredithGould

9:38	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi T3: for me, I know it is involving mobile devices. Made sure our website has a very user friendly mobile version. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 RevMindi

9:38	Bryan Rust@bryanrust @rev_david it would look different if more people will actually used the tools they have #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 bryanrust

9:38	Jason Chesnut@crazypastor T3 - Education through well-made videos incorporating many different voices and passions. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:38 crazypastor

9:39	Neal F. Fischer@nealffischer T3: More mobile. More accepted by adopters. Hopefully some natives will help lead the way. Have to find some. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 nealffischer

9:39	JoelleColvilleHanson@PastorJoelle @SpiritualGypsy @bfelice connect your blog with SM. Tweet your posts comment on other blogs #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 PastorJoelle

9:39	David L Hansen@rev_david T3 - I am seeing a huge shift in the number of ppl teaching social media specifically for ministry. A good thing. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 rev_david

9:39	Denise Williams@revdeniseppc #chsocm T3 already seeing my folks reading and following blogs they would not have been exposed to otherwise. CE :) Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 revdeniseppc

9:39	Jacob Lupfer@jlupf @rev_david #chsocm folk may appreciate this. I describe myself as a "Lay friend to clergy." People gasp. Not THAT kind of "lay friend!" smh Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 jlupf

9:39	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi T3: which means I need to learn how to create/generate content from mobile device easier. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 RevMindi

9:39	Paul Steinbrueck@paulsteinbrueck @chsocm T3: Ppl have more distractions & options than ever, churches must provide value & community online if they want ppl 2 engage #ChSocM Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 paulsteinbrueck

9:39	Brock Webster@B_RockW T3 more and more people getting model internet. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:39 B_RockW

9:40	Josh Ehrler@PrJoshEhrler T3-That's THE big money question for our 'AV club' at #tlcmtm. We're revamping our tech tools for worship so we're dreaming big. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 PrJoshEhrler

9:40	Travis Meier@tmeierontheway @MeredithGould Amen! We should help folks make the connection over a broad range of media. Helps to make story we tell coherent. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 tmeierontheway

9:40	Steve Kenow@skenow T3 sadly, too many will venture forward with no plan, disconnecting them ITF and online #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 skenow

9:40	Carolyn Clement@singingcarolyn @crazypastor Video, yes, I want more of that. From my parish and others! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 singingcarolyn

9:40	Dana Lisa Young@danayoung @RevWeb Can't imagine mine doing most of that. Won't allow photos at most of those events right now! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 danayoung

9:40	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi Kind of T2 & T3 hybrid: I want to create more video content. Use Vine and other video apps. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 RevMindi

9:40	Tanner C. Howard@thoward14 T3: I want to see it used in worship more. Integration when I see the majority of the congregation #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 thoward14

9:40	Dan Webster@RevWeb T3 More parishes will stream weddings, funerals, baptisms, confirmations. Eventually regular services. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:40 RevWeb

9:41	Benjamin Sutter@BenSutter @PastorJoelle Which means more Vine, more hasty product :/ #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 BenSutter

9:41	Paul Steinbrueck@paulsteinbrueck @skenow Yes, or try #ChSocM w no plan, fail and think it "doesn't work" :( Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 paulsteinbrueck

9:41	MeredithGould@MeredithGould T3 Maybe strategic planning? That would be so lovely. Also, communications audits. Yep, dreaming again. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 MeredithGould

9:41	Dan Webster@RevWeb @danayoung When they see others doing it they may learn the #evangelism potential. Or they may just stick their heads in the sand. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 RevWeb

9:41	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi Ah, another for T2: boosting our wireless so it reaches the sanctuary/fellowship hall. Right now only reaches office building. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 RevMindi

9:41	Jon Lee@justjonlee @BenSutter @PastorJoelle unfortunately the world we live in now. Can be done well, though. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 justjonlee

9:41	Mark Lepper@thelepper T3 - Worship services consisting solely of Vine videos? #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 thelepper

9:41	Benjamin Sutter@BenSutter @PastorJoelle Guess quality often lowers w/ increase in quantity #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:41 BenSutter

9:42	Bryan Rust@bryanrust @MeredithGould How do we help leaders in communities understand that branding isn't a bad thing? #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:42 bryanrust

9:42	Travis Meier@tmeierontheway T3: The digital age has moved us back to Acts - a public movement in social spaces. Join conversations that are already happening. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:42 tmeierontheway

9:42	Mark Lepper@thelepper T3 - Seriously, though, Soc med more seamlessly integrated into worship services, synod assemblies, meetings, presentations, etc #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:42 thelepper

9:42	Sean Titus@SeanTitus1 @thoward14 My former pastor tried, to no avail, to get the congregation to text him during his sermon...cool idea #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:42 SeanTitus1

9:43	Benjamin Sutter@BenSutter @justjonlee @PastorJoelle True, very true. To both #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 BenSutter

9:43	Brad Bridges@bradbridges @FatPastor Not a stretch at all if you have a clear plan. I'd encourage you to study what some people w/large follower counts do. #ChSocM Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 bradbridges

9:43	Steve Kenow@skenow @MeredithGould hoping to inject some of that into my home congregation - by joining the Comm Team #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 skenow

9:43	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @PastorJoelle @bryanrust Just declare it not a bad thing? I'm going to do that during a 2-hr workshop on Saturday. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 MeredithGould

9:43	Julie@ohxjulie @SeanTitus1 @thoward14 I've been toying with doing this when I preach later this month, but I'm not sure how to make it happen well. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 ohxjulie

9:43	Jason Chesnut@crazypastor @SeanTitus1 @thoward14 I've been trying to get the different communities I preach at to tweet during sermons. #takestime #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 crazypastor

9:43	Carolyn Clement@singingcarolyn Wifi access is SO IMPORTANT. @RevMindi #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 singingcarolyn

9:43	Dana Lisa Young@danayoung @RevWeb It may be a cultural/generational thing, but our church just isn't comfortable with photos during baptisms, etc. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 danayoung

9:43	David L Hansen@rev_david Great convo - keep it coming! Here comes T4. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:43 rev_david

9:44	David L Hansen@rev_david @RevMindi I put the access info in the bulletin, that helps. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 rev_david

9:44	MeredithGould@MeredithGould @PastorJoelle @bryanrust Seriously! Have a slide that says "Branding" is not Evil and Satanic! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 MeredithGould

9:44	Josh Ehrler@PrJoshEhrler @RevAmyZ Nice! Cultural knowledge and integration. #chsocm has added a new dimension to learning the local language. 1 challenge 4 me. Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 PrJoshEhrler

9:44	Dan Webster@RevWeb @tmeierontheway Always use Acts 17, Paul at the Aeropagus, as 1st c. example of SM. Also rooftop convos. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 RevWeb

9:44	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi @rev_david I have too many who don't feel it is "appropriate." Working on changing the attitudes first. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 RevMindi

9:44	Steve Kenow@skenow RT @singingcarolyn Wifi access is SO IMPORTANT. @RevMindi // just make sure you have the bandwidth! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:44 skenow

9:45	Julie@ohxjulie @thoward14 @SeanTitus1 I mostly preach at a seminary, so I was thinking it might be a step ahead of most congregations? #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 ohxjulie

9:45	Sean Titus@SeanTitus1 @ohxjulie @thoward14 @crazypastor It's definitely worth trying! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 SeanTitus1

9:45	Jeff Nelson@boldroastrev T3 Like @RevMindi, I'd like to use video imagery for meditation more often; create original content. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 boldroastrev

9:45	David L Hansen@rev_david @jlupf Ok. I disagee. But that's a topic for another day. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 rev_david

9:45	Tanner C. Howard@thoward14 @ohxjulie @SeanTitus1 I would hope so, but I think that would depend on how active your seminary is in #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 thoward14

9:45	Dana Lisa Young@danayoung @RevWeb We have photographer for regular services/events, no videography & restrictions on what can be posted. Baby steps! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:45 danayoung

9:46	Rev-o-lution@RevMindi Well, in looking back my church has come a long way. When I arrived in Sept. 12, we didn't have internet let alone a website! #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 RevMindi

9:46	MeredithGould@MeredithGould Also have a slide about how if "brand ambassador" seems creepy, use "evangelism" or "missional" instead. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 MeredithGould

9:46	JoelleColvilleHanson@PastorJoelle @jlupf @rev_david nothing particularly holy bout analog or unholy about digital #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 PastorJoelle

9:46	Josh Ehrler@PrJoshEhrler @rev_david @RevMindi In the bulletin? Why didn't I think of that? Cause I'm not Rev David I suppose. New for this week... #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 PrJoshEhrler

9:46	Ed Kay@edkay77 @thoward14 @ohxjulie @SeanTitus1 I think some in that sem community also might not go for it quite so quickly... #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 edkay77

9:46	Jason Chesnut@crazypastor RT @rev_david T4 - What new challenges do you see / expect in 2014? #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 crazypastor

9:46	Steve Kenow@skenow IMO, social media is analog, because people are analog. Only the conveyance is digital #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 skenow

9:46	Bryan Rust@bryanrust is there a checklist somewhere for a communications audit? #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:46 bryanrust

9:48	Mark Lepper@thelepper T4 - Maybe helping people see that being connected to a technological device doesn't necessarily equal disconnection from community #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 thelepper

9:48	Caroline Carson@Conductor222 #chsocm T4 I see the slow pace of my folks as a bit if a hindrance, but like the tortoise 🐢 we will get there! 😄 Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 Conductor222

9:48	Denise Williams@revdeniseppc #chsocm T4 increased resistance - much fear that SM = loss of community Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 revdeniseppc

9:48	Jason Chesnut@crazypastor T4 - Like always, creating/curating content that inspires and challenges people to engage. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 crazypastor

9:48	Tanner C. Howard@thoward14 @ohxjulie @edkay77 @SeanTitus1 oh nice! I think it's the place to at least try it. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 thoward14

9:48	Neal F. Fischer@nealffischer T4: I expect there will always be the next thing we have to jump on. Also, expect that I have to clone myself to keep up. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:48 nealffischer

9:51	Brad Bridges@bradbridges @boldroastrev I recommend is starting with a discussion on Outreach rather than Social Media. Outreach asks where are the people. #chsocm Tuesday January 7, 2014 9:51 bradbridges
