Online Ministry Through Instagram – Gloria Hass pt 1

Online Ministry Through Instagram

Gloria Hass pt 1

In this day and time, we all know how social media has taken over the daily lives of so many people. This is especially true for anyone probably less than the age of about 30 or so (although many people twice that age are on social media as well today – me included)!

But when it comes to online ministry, it seems the focus is on the major social media platforms. Facebook and LinkedIn. Some on Twitter. But very few are actually making strides on Instagram.

Well, my guest today has made Instagram ministry her specialty. Gloria Hass has made great strides in using Instagram to reach out to people that most ministries are not attempting to reach. They just do not know how to effectively use the Instagram platform for ministry.

Gloria is a former traveling evangelist and street evangelist. For the last 7 years, she has been helping a ministry to serve orphans and teaching them the Word of God to bring them to spiritual maturity.

To talk about all of this, help me welcome to the program, Gloria Hass!

Gloria, thank you for coming on the program today!

Ok, the first question I always ask is this. Other than that brief bit of information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Gloria Hass?”

Now, as I was preparing for this interview, I noticed on your website at https://gloriahassblog.wordpress.com , that you had a fall a few weeks back and have been recovering from a concussion. Tell us what happened and what’s going on?

I’m going to ask our listeners to lift you up in prayer…and we will do it right now and every time someone listens to this episode, they will be renewing that prayer… Amen!

You used to be a traveling evangelist. Traveling in an RV. How long ago was that and how did you get started in that very difficult ministry field?

How long did you do that?

And was that in conjunction with the street evangelism?

What kind of street evangelism did you do? I know some that do little “shows” for kids and some that do magic tricks while preaching the Gospel. What did you do to get the attention of the people?

Tell me how you got involved with Instagram instead of one of the other social media platforms?

And you do this daily?

Is Instagram just images and graphics? Or can you do posts with commentary, videos, etc?

Folks, here is a unique ministry opportunity for you. We all know dozens of ministries that are on other platforms. They, me and we, all are fighting for space and recognition on Facebook, and Twitter and LinkedIn, etc.

But here is Gloria Hass, who has carved out a spot for her ministry on Instagram! Praise God! And she is making an impact on that platform! Amen!

If there is any way you can reach out to her, let you know you appreciate her efforts, please do so. Go down below and click the link. Subscribe or Follow her on Instagram. Share her posts and let’s turn her ministry into a viral Instagram account! Amen!

And if there is any way you could possibly send along a financial offering to help her out, I know she would greatly appreciate it as well

About the Podcast

Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast
Interviews with influential Christian ministry and business leaders / owners, authors & musicians & prophecy experts, too!
Pastor Robert Thibodeau interviews Christian guests that range from pastors and ministers to Christian authors; Christian musicians and singers to Christian businessmen and businesswomen who are running impactful businesses while maintaining the Christian morals and values. Each podcast is approximately 28-35 minutes in length (give or take a few minutes). This is an interview based podcast that will often dig deep into the beliefs of the guest being interviewed. We recently published our 1600th Episode (with over 1100 individual interviews) and have been ranked by "Listen Notes" (the "Nielsen Ratings" of Podcasts) in the TOP 1/2% of ALL podcasts worldwide (2.7million +)! So your interviews will be heard!

We always appreciate our partners in helping us to "Get The Word Out!" into all the earth! I pray for our partners every single day. I humbly ask that you would consider sending along any offering of support for this work of God. If every person would commit to just $1 per month - you would be amazed at how fast that will multiply and allow us to have even more impact! And...there are NO SALARIES taken from any offerings sent in. It all goes to Kingdom work! Amen! Click the link for "support" that you see - and God Bless You for your support!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
