Following Jesus and seeking platforms are compatible.

Jesus is fame-shy. Jesus seemed drawn not to the spotlight but from it. Disciples and friends had to search. He wasn’t tweeting. His blog lay unattended. His email responses were not immediate. Where they often found him was alone and in desolate places praying (Luke 5:16). In fact, it seems that just when Jesus was at the right place at the right time, and the opportunity to advance his work through greater celebrity called out to him, he intentionally allowed the call to go to voicemail and disappeared for a while (John 6:15).
Jesus would have driven any publicist and congregation mad. In fact, after he did something great, Jesus often asked that no one say anything about it.
