Episode 120: Should Church's Delete Their Social Media?

In this powerful episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle a question that’s dividing many church leaders today: Should churches delete their social media? Is it a modern-day mission field—a place to reach the lost where they already are—or a minefield filled with distraction, comparison, and temptation?

Tim argues that social media remains one of the greatest outreach tools of our time, a place where light can shine in dark spaces if used wisely. He believes the church must show up where the people are—online—and steward that influence for the Gospel. Drew, on the other hand, shares his growing conviction that God may be calling his church away from these platforms altogether. With rising anxiety, digital addiction, and performative faith, is it time for churches to reclaim focus and move back toward in-person community and discipleship?

Together, they explore the tension between digital relevance and spiritual integrity—between engagement and distraction. Using Scripture, real-world data, and ministry experience, Drew and Tim wrestle with what faithful stewardship looks like in the digital age. Should the church remain on platforms owned by secular corporations—or build its own spaces to connect and communicate?

This episode will challenge how you view your church’s online presence—and help you discern whether your digital strategy is expanding God’s kingdom or simply feeding the algorithm.
