In a recent interview, Elder Bednar encourages members to "sweep the earth as with a flood" by using social media to share the gospel. Here are some key takeaways:
Be Authentic: Share yourself—your life, your experiences. It doesn't always have to be a direct gospel message; we are the gospel message.
Keep It Simple: Focus on the simple, fundamental principles of the gospel. If there's uncertainty about a topic, it's okay to leave it alone and stick to what you know.
Know Your Boundaries: Understand what you don't know as well as what you do. This helps maintain clarity and avoid unnecessary complications.
Be a Peacemaker: You don't have to defend the gospel aggressively. Instead, proclaim it with love and understanding. When faced with criticism, respond with calmness and inquisitiveness, which can diffuse tension and promote peace.
Embrace the Tools: Don't be afraid to use social media to share the gospel. This is how the world communicates now, and it's essential to learn how to do it righteously.
Let's use our online presence to share light, create curiosity, and spread the message of the gospel in authentic and uplifting ways.
