How it started vs. how it’s going in digital ministry with Brandan Robertson.
Brandan Robertson is a pastor who has found success with engaging content on platforms like TikTok. We discuss the importance of authenticity in today’s media landscape and how cultivating a sense of community can be a powerful tool for evangelization. We also delve into the challenges and pitfalls associated with digital ministry, such as the negative impact it can have on our spiritual health. Finally, we explore the unique calling that has led Brandan to become a bridge builder between different versions of Christianity, and how he confronts theological disagreements with empathy and love.
