Social Media Sunday is a time where people are encouraged to share their inspirational social posts, check-ins, memes, photos and videos using #InspiredMobility wherever they are.

"Sharing inspiration with mobility is so much a part of who I am," said Rev. Run. "I remember when I first set up my Twitter account, @RevRunWisdom. My sole mission was to inspire by sharing words of wisdom, and I'm happy to spread the word about how others can share and connect around positive thoughts, especially during the holiday season."

In a recent survey(1) sponsored by AT&T*, 4-in-10 (41%) respondents said they use a mobile phone, tablet or laptop to connect to faith-based organizations or inspiration sites. The survey also showed that 72% of those who use mobility to connect with their faith report using social media. Facebook and YouTube were the most popular channels. More than 40% of respondents said they use their devices to listen or download inspirational music.
