The interactive format breaks passive scrolling and promotes active engagement.
In spirituality communities, myths and misconceptions are common, making this format especially effective. By challenging assumptions and providing surprising truths, you invite members to think critically, learn together, and connect over shared insights. Revealing the answer, especially when it's unexpected, fuels further conversation and builds trust through transparent, sourced information.

To use these templates, simply select a statement that fits your community's interests and post it as a new thread or story. Ask members to comment whether they think it is fact or fiction and encourage them to explain their reasoning. After some responses, reveal the answer and provide a brief explanation or source if possible. Rotate topics regularly to keep things fresh and adjust the complexity based on your members' knowledge levels.
For all platforms: Use eye-catching visuals or emojis to highlight Fact or Fiction posts. Pin or feature them to maximize visibility. On chat-based platforms, use polls for quick participation. For forums or Facebook Groups, follow up in the comments with detailed explanations. Always invite respectful dialogue and remind members that learning together is the goal.
Start by identifying common misconceptions or myths within your spiritual tradition (e.g., 'Is karma instant?' or 'Do all meditation styles lead to enlightenment?'). Reference authoritative texts or respected teachers when creating the 'Fact' side, and use popular misconceptions for the 'Fiction'. This approach educates members and opens discussion on nuanced beliefs, helping foster deeper understanding within your community.
When addressing controversial topics, phrase your Fact or Fiction questions thoughtfully (e.g., 'Fact or Fiction: Reiki can only be performed in-person'). Encourage respectful dialogue and remind members to share sources from recognized spiritual frameworks or experiential accounts. Make clear that the purpose is exploration, not debate, to maintain a harmonious and open-minded community environment.
Develop questions that highlight the origins and significance of certain practices (e.g., 'Fact or Fiction: Anyone can perform sage smudging without understanding its cultural context'). Use these posts to educate on cultural sensitivity and encourage members to explore authentic sources. Always provide context and invite community voices from those cultures when possible.
Yes, thoughtfully designed questions can highlight both the similarities and distinctions between traditions (e.g., 'Fact or Fiction: The chakra system is interpreted the same way in all traditions'). This fosters interfaith understanding and helps members recognize diversity within spirituality. Be sure to provide background information in your post to prevent confusion or misrepresentation.
Use inclusive language and frame questions to invite diverse perspectives (e.g., 'Fact or Fiction: Reincarnation is a core belief in all spiritual traditions'). Encourage members to share their understanding or teachings from their path, and moderate for respect and curiosity rather than correctness. This keeps discussions welcoming and educational for all.
Absolutely. Pose questions such as 'Fact or Fiction: All mystical experiences can be explained by psychology.' Provide context from both spiritual and scientific viewpoints, and invite members to share personal or traditional interpretations. This helps demystify experiences and supports members in making sense of their own spiritual journeys.
