W.W.J.P. — The Story Behind ActsSocial: A New Kind of Christian Social Media

Play Icon

In this raw and Spirit-led episode, Shawn Whitson, founder of ActsSocial, shares the powerful moment in December 2022 when the Holy Spirit called him to create a Christian alternative to today's social media giants.

He unpacks:

  • The exact encounter that sparked ActsSocial

  • How it's different from Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok – no ads, no algorithms, no politics, no toxicity

  • The spiritual battles and roadblocks faced during development

  • Why Big Tech platforms silence Christian voices—and how ActsSocial is reclaiming that space

  • How to join, what features it offers, and why it's truly social media with a purpose

  • And the heart behind the 40-Day Social Media Fast Challenge, a bold step to detox from the world and reconnect with Christ-centered content and community

This isn't just a platform—it's a movement. One born out of obedience, prayer, and a mission to unite the Body of Christ online.
