LDS Media Talk

I hope you subscribe to the More Good Foundation blogs. In the recent past, they have provided many great ideas on how to share your testimony online.

Here’s a quick summary:

12 Ways to Share the Gospel on the Internet
1. Answer a question at Yahoo! Answers
2. Blog your testimony in your mission language
3. Blog what you learned in Sunday School
4. Edit Mormonwiki.com or Wikipedia.org

Mormon Testimonies Online!
I encourage anyone and everyone to go to mormontestimonies.org and
post a testimony. What better answer is there to the question “what do
Mormons really believe?” than a collection of writings of actual
Mormons telling what they actually believe?

Sharing Video testimonies
Why not sit down, in front of a video camera, and record your
testimony. It need not be long–in fact, anywhere from ninety seconds
to three minutes would be ideal. Then, upload your testimony to one of
the video services, such as YouTube, so that others can share your
feelings.

Harvard Business Professor Clayton Christensen explains why he
believes
Clayton Christensen is a professor at Harvard Business School and
author of the popular business book The Innovator’s Dilemma. He’s also
a Mormon and has recently posted an article on his website about why
he belongs to the Mormon church and why he believes its doctrines.
This is a great example of sharing your testimony online.

President Kimball: Sharing the Gospel
“There is a spiritual adventure in doing missionary work… It is
exciting and rewarding. The hours, the effort, the wondering, all are
worth it when even one soul expresses repentance and faith and a
desire to be baptized…

Blogging as a Lightning Rod
There is an interesting side effect to blogs: They attract lightning.
When a high-profile individual thoughtfully shares his or her ideas
and feelings on a blog, it is only a matter of time before people
comment and a sort of “organized chaos” takes place.

Mormon or LDS?
If the King Lamonis of today are typing “Great Spirit” into Google, we
need to create websites and blog posts that mention the “Great
Spirit”. Later we can explain that “this is God.”

available by podcast.

Convince me
The second problem with “collective intelligence” is that it may leave
out God and his authorized servants. That is, we (even all of us
collectively) “[don't] comprehend all the things which the Lord can
comprehend” and no one has a better grasp on “moral and societal
issues” than God’s prophets.

The Web needs your participation
In this current “age of participation,” we (you and I) are forging the
Web. Anyone can write a blog, create a video, post a photo, ask or
answer a question, or vote on a story. What you contribute shapes what
others find on the Internet.

What is Second Life and why should it matter to Mormons
Second Life is a virtual world where you can connect with thousands of
people. For members of the Church, Second Life may be among the next
frontiers for sharing the Gospel. At any time, thousands of people –
each avatar representing a real person — roam the worlds of Second
Life. Church members with disabilities could serve proselytizing
missions in Second Life, and we can all be member missionaries.
