Evangelism for the Instagram Generation
While the early church had scrolls and synagogues, we have smartphones and social feeds. The timeless truth of Christ meets today’s tech with these innovative approaches:
👕 Gospel Wear That Speaks
Our faith-infused streetwear turns everyday outings into divine appointments:
- “Because He Lives” Tee – Easter hope in urban style
- “Be Strong” Tee – Ephesians 6:10 as wearable armor
- “Be Still” Tee – Psalm 46:10 for anxious hearts
📱 Social Media as Digital Pulpit
Jesus reached crowds on hillsides—we reach them through screens:
- 15-second Gospel nuggets on TikTok/Reels
- Twitter threads unpacking parables
- Instagram stories with verse graphics
Blending Ancient Truth with Modern Tech
| Traditional Method | Modern Adaptation | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Street preaching | YouTube live streams | Global reach without geographic limits |
| Tract distribution | Instagram gospel infographics | Visually engaging, easily shareable |
| Hymn singing | Spotify faith playlists | 24/7 worship access |
| Testimonies | Podcast storytelling | Deep dives into transformation |
Accessorizing Your Witness
Our conversation-starting pieces make faith visible:

The Analog Secret in a Digital World
While we embrace technology, our most powerful tool remains unchanged: authentic relationships. The early church “turned the world upside down” (Acts 17:6) through:
– Face-to-face fellowship
– Radical generosity
– Embodied love
Our digital tools should drive people to these real-world connections.

The Unchanging Core
However flashy our methods become, we remember:

– The Holy Spirit still convicts hearts (John 16:8)
– Love will always be our distinguishing mark (John 13:35)
The medium changes—the message never does.
