In the last podcast, in episode 61, we talked about your goals of using Twitter.

And I want to pick up on that discussion here.

Pastor John, what are some strategies for stewarding a Twitter platform well?

One is practice a fast.

In other words, pick up periods of time week, or like some need two years ago, eight months.

Zero Twitter, zero blogging, and see what happens to your soul.

See if your soul has become addicted to being known, being followed, being read, and just

don't even write any more, and don't read any more for an X amount of time.

That's a Twitter fast or a blogging fast.

And the last thing I would say is, pray over every tweet, to say, God bless this, even

if it's a joke, even if you're pointing to money-waring humor, say, like Kevin,

that be on does on his blog, that's a money-warning humor.

I do not doubt that Kevin chooses very consciously why he does that, thinks it through, prays

over it, and I think that's what we all should do.

Do you check your mentions or comments from followers to hear what they're saying about

things you've posted on Twitter?

Every now and then I do, and I don't really find it that helpful, because for every person

who says, thank you, it was a very help, somebody's given me the F word.

I mean, it's not, I don't think I can look enough to draw any valid conclusions.

I'd have to look at it and do some sophisticated analysis to say, okay, 72% of the people

said they got help, and 30% thought it was hogwash, surely the 70% are right.

Maybe, you know, maybe not.
