David Hernandez Ministries: Bringing Spirituality to Younger Generations in the Age of Social Media

*DOWNEY, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 3, 2022 / *In the digital age, finding and nurturing one's spirituality has become more accessible than ever before. The social media revolution has made it easier than ever to reach a wide audience, share an important message, and create a dedicated community. Churches and spiritual groups are utilizing the benefits of social media to bring spirituality to the public. With these powerful tools and platforms at their disposal, many ministries are still wondering how to reach younger generations, particularly Millenials and Gen Z.

*Harnessing the Reach of Social Media*

Social media and Web3 have the potential to reach more people than ever before. As the David Hernandez Ministries team likes to say, "People no longer stroll down the street; they scroll down the feed." Even the televangelism of the 80s and 90s can't compare to the influence of social media. Half-hour broadcasts could bring a hundred thousand viewers, but cost tens of thousands of dollars. Many churches still spend millions of dollars a year to reach television viewers, despite its declining popularity among younger generations. With social media's global popularity among a younger demographic, worldwide distribution is essentially free. Creating content and understanding the algorithm has the potential to reach more people at a lower cost.

One of the biggest challenges that ministries face on social media is oversaturation. With so many causes to care about and messages to spread, we struggle to process the barrage of information we receive on a daily basis. This is why David Hernandez Ministries believes that the gospel shouldn't be altered or watered down. As the team states, "Amidst all the confusion and content, the gospel rises and pierces the heart."

*Reaching Younger Generations*

According to David Hernandez Ministries, the idea that younger generations are less open to the gospel is a damaging misconception. This myth leads some to believe that the gospel should be watered down or altered to appeal to this demographic out of an unfounded fear of losing them. "Nobody wants a watered-down gospel that they know isn't real. They want substance," says DHM. "The true gospel, unaltered and un-compromised, delivered through the channels that Gen Z and Millennials frequent, is what will reach these generations."

*Adapting the Medium, Not the Message*

If you want to reach an audience, you must meet them where they gather. In the digital age, people have taken to gathering online on social platforms. David Hernandez Ministries has been exploring new outlets since 2007, when the official YouTube channel was created. Throughout the ministry's pursuit of a new medium, it has committed to preserving the gospel in its delivery. DHM believes that ministries shouldn't alter the gospel (lessening its truth) just to "bait" newer generations, but it is necessary to keep up with the times in terms of medium. In other words: don't change the message, but make sure it's heard. DHM takes an old-school approach, but delivers through accessible modern means.

*Preparing for the Viral Revival*

The internet has vastly increased the efficiency and influence of evangelism. David Hernandez Ministries believes that these circumstances have set the stage for a "viral revival." With its modern approach to old-school religion, David Hernandez Ministries is prepared to take advantage of the social media boom.
