Social media can quietly drain us emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually. But, is it ALL bad? Or can it be used in a healthy way? I think so! In this episode, I sit down with licensed therapist and host of Jesus and Your Mental Health, Rebecca Maxwell, to unpack the real impact social media has on our mental well-being. We talk comparison, anxiety, emotional burnout, and the spiritual battle happening beneath it all. Through the lens of Scripture and mental health wisdom, we explore how Christ followers can engage online with more intention. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just want to use your phone more mindfully, this conversation offers hope, healing, and practical steps forward.

Have you ever met someone who has ACTUALLY walked through being "canceled?" In this episode, I’m joined by Ty Kelly, content creator, husband, dad, and follower of Jesus, for an honest conversation about cancel culture. You might recognize Ty from his viral Chick-fil-a and Husband Bootcamp videos. But one day, everything changed when his family “Disney Shoe Hack” video sparked a media firestorm.

Today, Ty shares from his heart the realities of what his family walked through, what he’s learned about his faith, his influence and his plans for the future. This episode really taught me about how quick we can be to judge and cancel others in a social media world. I am so grateful to Ty for coming on to share his story.
