Episode 508 | Instagram Strategy for Churches + Understanding the Algorithm with Jonathan Malm

Описание: Is Instagram worth it for your church… or is it just a frustrating algorithm circus?

In Episode 508 of the Church Solutions Podcast, Phil Thompson and Steve Lacy sit down with Jonathan Malm, founder of Sunday Social, to break down:

• Why churches should be on Instagram (even if you hate social media)
• What the Instagram algorithm actually is
• Why “relatable” content beats announcements every time
• Reels vs Carousels – what works right now
• How small churches can post consistently without burning out
• How to turn engagement into real ministry impact

Jonathan shares how he’s reached millions through simple, relatable content—and how your church can do the same.

If you’ve ever said, “We tried Instagram and it didn’t work,” this episode is for you.
