An Unfiltered Conversation With Mike Todd's Social Media Advisor

Today on the show, we're joined by Rohn Starling, who spent three years as the Content Creator and Strategist for Lead Pastor Mike Todd at Transformation Church in Tulsa, OK. With a wealth of insights into strategy on social media, we asked him questions like how to differentiate content between the church and pastor accounts, managing frequent posting on Instagram, and how to gain trust for posting unconventional ideas. We also explore what led Rohn to depart from Transformation Church towards the end of last year. Let’s dive in.

    What people don’t realize is Pastor Mike Todd is a unicorn! There’s nothing that he can’t do or learn how to do at an extremely high level! He takes big risks and is a little impulsive which gets him into trouble but… Big Risk - Big Reward… the opposite can also manifest itself…

    Take creative advice and inspiration from this video as much as you want (there's good stuff here for sure). But I don't know how you could see social media as a ministry and serve under Mike Todd for any amount of time, much less make it your mission to point people toward him.

    I’m confused. Why do a lot of people seem to have a problem with Mike Todd and transformation church? Do they just not like the way he preaches or his politics? I don’t mean to start a bashing session, I’m just curious. 👀

    Winning at social media does not necessarily correlate to winning at discipleship and the Gospel.

    These guys know that, you can check out their other podcast episodes if you need confirmation of that. The idea is that if you are a church that has chosen to evangelize in the social media sphere, these are helpful things to keep in mind to make that ministry as effective as possible. Because of their advice, people have found us online and have heard the Gospel who otherwise would not have.
