Description

This week, Brendan Gotta shares how Gotta Be Saints started as an outlet for him to share the Gospel in a more direct way after leaving his job at the Catholic diocese. He talks about the consistency of simple Saint quotes and scripture on his social media page and podcast. Brendan also discusses the challenges of using social media for good and finding a balance between creating content and avoiding the addictive aspects of social media.

Takeaways

• Consistency is key in creating content for social media and podcasts.
• Brendan finds inspiration for his content through reading books, spending time in adoration, and receiving quotes from friends and family.
• Brendan advises others to be themselves and ask themselves why they want to use social media to spread the Gospel. They should focus on being true to themselves and not base their worth on the number of followers or likes they have.
