Faith is not meant to stay confined to a church building, a Sunday routine, or a private moment of reflection. For Spencer Coffman, Founder of Social Media Ministries, faith is something to live out daily—in work, service, relationships, and online spaces.
In this Living My Faith with James Fenimore feature, Spencer shares how founding Social Media Ministries became a defining moment in his faith journey and how he continues to rely on God while helping make social media a more positive place.
About Social Media Ministries
Social Media Ministries is a nonprofit organization with a clear mission: to fulfill the Great Commission by sharing Jesus with the world of social media.
The organization strives to make social media a more positive place by sharing the hope and light of God across all platforms. In a digital world that can often feel overwhelming, divided, or discouraging, Social Media Ministries focuses on pointing people toward faith, encouragement, and spiritual truth.
A Faith Journey Shaped by Purpose
When asked about a moment that significantly deepened or shaped his faith journey, Spencer points to the founding of Social Media Ministries.
That step was more than the launch of an organization. It represented a commitment to use modern communication tools for a timeless purpose: sharing Jesus with others.
For many people, social media is simply a place to connect, scroll, or consume information. For Spencer, it is also a mission field. Through Social Media Ministries, he sees an opportunity to bring hope, light, and biblical encouragement into the everyday digital spaces where people already spend time.
Living Faith Every Day
Spencer describes living out his faith as an everyday practice. Whether through Social Media Ministries or personal business responsibilities, he sees each day as an opportunity to trust God, serve others, and act in faith.
He emphasizes fully relying on God to provide for everything. That confidence shapes the way he approaches the needs of others. As Spencer explains, believing that God meets his needs allows him to make other people’s needs his own, trusting that God will meet them as well.
Faith in Action Begins with Trust
One of Spencer’s core pieces of advice for anyone seeking to grow spiritually is simple and direct: trust God and do what He says.
That perspective highlights an important part of Christian living. Faith is not only belief; it is also obedience. Spencer shares the conviction that while God loves unconditionally, receiving what God has promised requires listening to Him and following His direction.
For readers who are struggling to live out their faith, this is a practical reminder: spiritual growth often begins with surrender, trust, and a willingness to take the next obedient step.
Finding Wisdom in Psalms and Proverbs
Spencer says the books of Psalms and Proverbs are especially meaningful to him in this season. He values them for their history, wisdom, and practical application to everyday life.
These books have long offered comfort, correction, encouragement, and guidance to people seeking to walk faithfully with God. Psalms gives language to worship, sorrow, gratitude, repentance, and trust. Proverbs offers wisdom for choices, character, relationships, diligence, and discernment.
Spencer believes that if more people knew and understood these books well enough to apply them to daily life, the world would be different.
Practical Ways to Apply Biblical Wisdom
For anyone looking to grow in faith, Spencer’s appreciation for Psalms and Proverbs offers a helpful starting point. Consider these simple practices:
- Read consistently. Even a short passage each day can shape your thoughts and decisions.
- Look for one truth to apply. Ask, “What does this teach me about God, myself, or how I should live?”
- Pray through Scripture. Let the words of Psalms guide your prayers and worship.
- Use Proverbs for daily wisdom. Reflect on how biblical wisdom applies to your work, relationships, speech, and choices.
- Share encouragement with others. A verse, insight, or word of hope may help someone more than you realize.
Using Social Media for Ministry
Social media has become one of the most influential communication spaces in modern life. It can be used to encourage or discourage, unite or divide, distract or inspire.
Social Media Ministries focuses on using these platforms for a purpose rooted in faith. By sharing Jesus online, the organization seeks to bring hope and light into digital spaces that many people interact with every day.
Why Online Faith Content Matters
People often turn to social media during ordinary moments of the day—between tasks, during breaks, or when looking for connection. Faith-based content can meet people in those moments with encouragement, truth, and a reminder that God is present.
For churches, ministries, and individual believers, this creates an opportunity. A post, message, video, or simple Scripture reflection can become a meaningful touchpoint for someone who needs hope.
Lessons for Anyone Seeking to Live Their Faith
Spencer’s story offers practical encouragement for anyone who wants to live out their faith more intentionally.
1. Treat Your Daily Work as Worship
Living your faith does not require separating spiritual life from everyday responsibility. Your work, leadership, service, and communication can all become opportunities to honor God.
2. Put Obedience into Practice
Trusting God includes listening to His direction and taking action. Spiritual growth is strengthened when belief becomes obedience.
3. Look for Ways to Serve Others
Spencer’s approach includes making other people’s needs his own while trusting God to provide. That kind of faith moves beyond personal comfort and toward compassionate action.
4. Use Your Digital Presence Wisely
Whether you are a ministry leader, business owner, parent, student, or professional, your online presence can reflect your values. Social media can be a place to share hope, kindness, wisdom, and truth.
5. Stay Rooted in Scripture
Books like Psalms and Proverbs offer timeless wisdom for daily living. Returning to Scripture helps strengthen faith, shape decisions, and provide encouragement in every season.
A Mission of Hope and Light
At its heart, Social Media Ministries is about bringing the message of Jesus into the digital world. Spencer Coffman’s work reflects a conviction that social media can be used for good when it is guided by faith, wisdom, and a desire to serve others.
His message is a helpful reminder for anyone seeking to grow spiritually: trust God, follow His direction, stay grounded in Scripture, and look for ways to bring light into the spaces where you already are.
Conclusion
Living faith is not only about what we believe privately. It is about how we show up daily, how we serve others, how we respond to God’s direction, and how we use the influence we have been given.
