In this podcast, Mark and John discuss the role that social media plays in mental health. Social media has become a mirror for the flesh, and flesh problems are exposed by social media. Social media amplifies the fear of rejection. You and I are accepted in Christ, not by scrolling social media for identity. For most, social media is a highlight reel. When we compare our lives to others, this comparison produces insecurity, anxiety, discontentment, and false identity. Mark and John also discuss how social media can impact our identity in a negative way. To end the podcast, the guys discuss healthy alternatives, including setting boundaries, posting from overflow, and taking a weekly digital sabbath.
