Have you been curious about if the people you follow on social media share your faith base? Well, we did the digging and here’s what we found. There are many social media influencers who give off the “I’m a member of the Church” vibe without ever explicitly saying it. This is the magic of what is stated in 1 Peter 2:9 about being a “peculiar people.” With social media, this prophecy is alive and well in our day.
Here are 9 influencers who are members of the Church.
