Media Survey Results: Part 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, Rick Warren commissioned pastors to dominate social media. (Read my post about it here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Interestingly, when we recently conducted our survey on Christian leaders and \"\"<\/a>resources they are using to impact their ministry, we didn\u2019t see a lot of ground being made in the world of social media.<\/p>\n

Unlike books, authors, and podcasts, where there are clear \u201cfavourites\u201d emerging, social media in general doesn\u2019t seem to provide any clear-cut \u201cwinners\u201d.<\/p>\n

This may be because the field is growing so quickly that leaders haven\u2019t had the chance to sort out who is worth \u201cfollowing\u201d or \u201cfriending\u201d. Then again, perhaps it\u2019s simply that social media in general has yet provide the ministry impact leaders are looking for.<\/p>\n

At any rate, here is a summary of what we found.<\/p>\n

Which 3 BLOGS, Christian or secular, are currently having the most impact or relevance to your ministry? <\/strong><\/p>\n
