I was late for work because I wanted to see Pastor Mike Jr's interview with Craig Melvin from the Today Show. If you know me... you know Pastor Mike Jr. is one of my favorite artists and preachers... and I know... I could’ve pulled it up on YouTube later, but I wanted to see it in real time.

Pastor Mike McClure Jr. (PMJ) said during the interview that he began reaching out beyond the church walls as early as 2010 when he would live stream his services “around the globe,” even when he may have had only a handful of viewers. But times have changed. His social media boasts millions of followers and many, many viral moments from clips and inspiration he hand-picks to post on his platforms  

Craig Melvin asked about PMJ’s social media reach and how it connects to Rock City Church… his physical church in in Birmingham, Alabama. Pastor McClure said, "If [Apostle] Paul were here… would he write a letter or post it?” Saying that he wouldn’t write a letter, “I would post every step of what I'm doing.”
