9 Spiritual Leaders You Should Be Following on Twitter

If you haven’t noticed, Twitter is a huge place. And what’s worse, your feed is often stacked with angry opinions and even angrier opinions about those first angry opinions. It just spirals from there.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Twitter can actually be a place where you can learn and grow. Follow faith leaders like pastors, authors, speakers and humanitarians who extend their work to the Twittersphere and you’ll soon find your social feed doesn’t stress you out. It becomes something entirely different, even refreshing.

Here are nine faith leaders you should go follow right now (and then maybe unfollow those trolly types, too).

@EugeneCho

Eugene Cho is pastor of Quest Chuch in Seattle, and a humanitarian working with the organization One Day’s Wages.

I fear that we ask God to move mountains, forgetting that God also wants to move us.

In fact, it's possible that we are that mountain.
