Smallish Post 3

The past few years several General Conference talks have focused on sharing the Gospel through social media. I often struggle between wanting to share the Gospel and doing so in a way that feels natural. I don't have Instagram, Pintrest, or SnapChat. I use Facebook pretty infrequently and that is it for social media. When I do go on Facebook I don't actually post anything, rather I look at the messages I have received. I feel like if I were to suddenly post things about my testimony and the church it would be very out of place. From my own experience I don't really pay attention to most of the things posted by people, especially if they are trying to make a direct statement on some issue. Each person needs to identify how they can share the Gospel over social media in a way that fits naturally in with who they are. One example of this for me is when I go somewhere fun with my friends we will take a picture of all of us. I can also do this for things like temple trips.

  1. I also use social media pretty infrequently, so I know what you mean. I feel like if we don't feel comfortable directly posting our testimonies, we can find subtle ways to share our beliefs. Like you suggested, these usually fit in with who we are, and how we normally post.
