Open with a secular fact, then bridge to faith

A viral faith and spirituality format on TikTok and Instagram

Why it works

Church jargon loses outsiders in the first seconds, while a universal hook gets everyone listening. Fav Sis's 'life hack' beat her jargon-heavy posts.

Hook formulaLegally / Imagine you're at ___ / Little life hack: ___

How to make it

  1. 1Open with a mundane, surprising or universal hook
  2. 2Develop it for a few seconds without religious terms
  3. 3Bridge with 'and that's exactly what ___ means' and show the verse

What’s working in faith and spirituality this week

How this is measured

  • Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
  • TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
  • A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
  • Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
