Bury These Social Media Tactics in 2025

Pro Church Tools (Brady Shearer) shares “Church social media strategies that DIED in 2025” (36-minute watch), spotlighting outdated tactics that no longer serve churches (think algorithm-chasing and over-posting). He urges ministries to ditch these approaches​ and pivot toward authentic engagement—prioritizing meaningful interaction over vanity metrics. This video is a timely gut-check for church comms teams, ensuring social efforts in 2025 focus on what truly connects with people instead of what simply used to work.

With no login or payment required, it removes barriers to deeper Scripture study, empowering small churches, missionaries, and believers worldwide to enrich their biblical understanding at no cost.

Flawed Churchfront Live Stream Test…

Churchfront shares “Revisiting Our Live Stream Tests…” (48-minute watch), revisiting a flawed streaming platform test (Resi vs. BoxCast), highlighting firmware oversights, bitrate confusion and different streaming philosophies (quality vs. real-time) as contributing factors to the flaws in the test. The remainder of this video covers a plethora of topics ranging from HEVC versus H.264 streaming and addressing ProPresenter NDI challenges to handling volunteer tech dismissals gracefully, and balancing technical excellence with pastoral care.
