    S1 | E1: Opinion vs. Truth

    Truth is the topic of our episode today. We want to set this entire discussion up with a foundation of Biblical truth for the Christian and Social Media. In this pilot episode we take the time to divide truth from opinion and discuss how someone can properly place themselves in a position to receive Biblical instruction about Social Media.

    S1 | E2: The Truth about Pitfalls Part 1 - What Happens When I Post?

    As a piece of technology, social media is forming us into people we weren't before we started using it. In this episode we take a hard look at the ways social media forms us specifically when we make posting a daily rhythm.

    What Happens When I Post?

    Curating our Lives 6:40

    Pride 10:45

    Concentration on the Externals 18:09

    Insensitivity to Others 21:42

    Social Media becomes the Mediator 28:50

    Scriptures

    1 Peter 3v3-4
    Do not let your adornment be merely outward--arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel-- rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

    1 Corinthians 13v4-7
    Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

    Isaiah 53v2
    For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.

    1 Corinthians 10v31-33
    Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

Sis in Christ say what

Nice

T y for making this podcast.

I don’t have Instagram so can’t msg there but I’d be encouraged if it was explicitly said that we as Christians don’t really need it ???
I can sense some of the speakers hinting at that but it needs to be said. It’s nothing more than a waste of time unless you have an actual business to promote.
