Wcbi's bobby martinez spoke to a pastor and a dj in starkville who are using their platform to spread positive vibes to those in need.

They say there is no place like home..

And while the self quarantine lifestyle has become the new norm for millions of americans..

Entertainment options have become limited..

So people here in mississippi..

Are taking to social media to keep you entertained all from the comfort of your home.... from live preaching... "even though w are social distancing lord."

To live music..

Nats of music... social media is playing a major role in sending positive vibes during these tough times.... the corona virus has forced churches to close for the time being.... now, abdural lee, pastor at sand creek missionary baptist church in starkville... has turned to facebook live to spread the good word..

"it's rough man.

And i just wanted to make sure that i touched the lives of people to let them know that god is still in control.."

Going on his second year as pastor... preaching on social media is new to pastor lee.

"i was trying t wait till i got more experience at this thing but god said no now is the time.

So actually right now the preaching that you hear from me is just basically god using my heart to reach out to the people.

It has nothing to do with experience or how long i've been preaching or any of that.

God is just using my heart to preach to the people right now."

Stand up bridge..

Music has the ability to help lift up our mood at any point of the day..

And calvin bailey is using his social media to help send those positive vibes your way... "entertainment ha always been a thing for everyone some type of entertainment.

Music is everything whatever you're going through its a song out there for you."

Bailey hopes the videos spread a message of encouragement.

"my live is for us t vibe.

You can text me whatever you want whatever song you want me to play im going to play it.

Because you might need that song right then and i'm going to play that song so i just want everyone to keep praying keep quarantine like you should talk to your family more talk to your friends more its gonna be alright.."
