Is Social Media Hurting or Helping Our Walk with God? | EP19

In this episode, we explore Christian perspectives on social media and ask the question: Is social media a sin, or can it be used in a way that honors God? Some believers see social media as a powerful tool for spiritual growth, evangelism, and Christian fellowship, while others warn that it leads to pride and vanity, unhealthy comparisons, and serves as a distraction in the Christian life.
We’ll dive into the impact of social media on Christians, discussing whether ethical Christian social media use is possible or if it promotes worldly values. How can believers practice Christian mindfulness in social media consumption, and is setting healthy social media boundaries the key to navigating these platforms without compromising faith? Join us as we examine both sides of the debate and share our perspectives. Is social media okay for Christians, or should we step away entirely? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
