Follower vs. Fan.Is there a difference?
Followers are committed. Fans can be fickle.
Followers trust their leader. Fans trust their leader only when it benefits them.
Followers want a vision. Fans want a show.
Followers ask “what have i done for you?” lately. Fans ask “what have you done for me lately?”
Followers are in for the long term. Fans are in for the short term.
are you a follower or a fan?

You can’t follow everyone…(except on Twitter haha).
So I guess I follow 100ish people, and fan a bunch more.
But following more would just be impossible.

i am approaching the issue more from the perspective of being a follower of Jesus vs. a fan of Jesus. Lots of folks are fans, but way less are truly followers.
wasn’t necessarily looking at it from a current day twitter follower or facebook friend perspective.
