Kind of the same for this blog. Non-Christians wouldn’t understand the subject material behind this blog, which is really linked to the @onlinedisciples feed. Additionally, they questions I ask there are ones I want Believers to weigh-in on. This is very different from my other feed. Non-believers would read most of my @onlinedisciples conversations and go, “Huh?”

In some cases and in some conversations, people have been so hurt by the church that the moment they find out that I’m a minister, they put me into a box with all their negative experiences. They shut down any conversation. My separate feed allows me to be a spiritual person and talk with people about spiritual matters without turning them off out-right.

I’m trying to find the same balance — living online among those who don’t follow Christ, doing so in a way that allows them to see that while discipleship influences every part of life it doesn’t render me (or potentially, them) into a one-dimensional character.

I’m trying to interact with people on a variety of topics: Interest in the same geek topics, general living life together, interest in spiritual things, etc. But meanwhile never disguising that core of what I’m about or relegating it to some other part of my online presence.

So I’m curious now — is there a way I could be doing it better? If you have time, I’d welcome you to review the history of my twitter feed and critique it.

Looking forward to learning from you and with you,

Scott
