Episode 3: How Social Media Affects the Soul (Part 1) Barren to Beautiful
-
- Christianity
In a culture that values visibility, how do we find our way back to the secret place?
In a culture that values volume, how do we find our way back to the quiet place?
(And do we even want to get back there?)
Listen in, as I share (honestly) about what I learned during an entire summer off of social media. In this episode, I confess how social media was negatively affecting me, and how I re-discovered the beauty of the "secret place," away from social media. I've heard from so many people who were feeling *exactly* the same way I was, when I began my social media fast (weary, anxious, depressed). And I want you to know, that these things, like social media, as *small* as they seem, do matter. It's something we can bring before His throne together.
Because, the God who numbers the hairs on your head. Who catches your tears in a bottle. Who has written all the days of your life in His book, before one of them came to be. The God who saw you and formed you in your mother’s womb. Who breathed your name into existence. And whose eyes saw your unformed body in the secret place, as you were woven in the depths of the earth..
That God? He sees you and knows you.
He still you sees you in the secret place.
And He still waits for you there.
Even now, He is drawing you. To come.
I invite you to listen in, as we consider how He wants to lead you to green pastures, and quiet waters. And how He longs to restore your soul.
