Taking questions we've received, asked in the church communications group and questions that came in as we were recording. We answered questions about finding Instagram volunteers, moderating comments on social media, creating engagement and how to find out if your church is ready to do away with your bulletin.

Today's show was sponsored by touchpoint software:

TouchPoint is a church management system built by the church for the church. We are an online church management platform and mobile app designed to work together to keep your church connected at any time, and any place.

The newly relaunched TouchPoint mobile app enables church staff, lay leaders, and members to manage giving, check in for classes and small group, update their contact information, stream sermon audio and video, register for events, receive messages, complete ministry tasks, schedule marketing messages, and more. And because the app integrates with your TouchPoint database, your members’ contact information is correct and up to date.

Our mission at TouchPoint is to eliminate the need for numerous point solutions and free you from data silos. We want you to see disciples, not data.

Go to touchpointsoftware.com/churchcommunications to get a free e-book about using data to make smarter ministry decisions. 

On this episode, Katie and special guest, Emmy award-winning editor, Jenny Randle, chat about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how it might affect your church, as well as Twitter trolls, and Facebook's new rating system based on sentiment for pages and brands.
