Shawn Whitson is the founder and CEO of ActsSocial, a faith-first social platform built on the community modeled in Acts 2:42 to 47, and a FrontGate Media client. After three decades as an entrepreneur, he answered an unexpected calling in December 2022 to build a better social media platform. Today ActsSocial gives filmmakers and storytellers something rare: an audience that actually wants their work, reaching believers and seekers across 195 countries and 12 languages. The ActsSocial platform runs on an interest-based, upside-down algorithm built to encourage, not enrage, with no ad-driven feed and no data harvesting. Through this social platform, filmmakers’ work reaches people who came to be inspired, inside a verified community of faith.
