What does it look like to discern rightly when it comes to what we post on social media? How do we know what’s wise, what’s beneficial, and what simply might not be for us to post? Let’s talk about it. I also chat about the oversimplification of what we see online and why we need to be careful about looking at someone’s post and immediately telling other Christians to “stop acting like Pharisees.” Lastly, I share some thoughts on a few recent conversations happening in Christian social media culture. My prayer is that this episode can help us think a littleeee bit deeper about how we show up online. Get connected with me!

How do we raise our kids (teens) in a social media world? That’s a big part of why I started this podcast but also - I’m not quitttte in that season. So I asked a parent who I believe did it really well. They made mistakes along the way, stayed rooted in the Lord, and now they have two young adults who have a healthy relationship with social media. I mean, that’s the goal right?

I am a huge advocate for using social media but I am also aware that it comes with real dangers. We talk about mistakes they made, the rules they put in place, how they stayed committed despite conflict with their kids and ultimately, how to teach our kids to rightfully discern.

What if you never went viral? What if you faithfully created content for FIVE YEARS and it never grew the way you hoped? What if your friend’s podcast “took off” and yours stayed small? Even though you started at the same time? Would you wonder if you heard God wrong? If He’s the one who called you to create, what do you do when the results never come? That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this episode. I’m so honored to sit down with Hannah Hughes, who has walked this road firsthand and is still consistently walking in obedience every day. Hannah is wise beyond her years, and I learned so much from her. I can’t wait for you to hear what she has to say.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it looks like to pursue social media wholeheartedly without slowly compromising the convictions God has placed on my heart. In this episode, I’m opening up about my interest in stepping into UGC, the tension I feel around making a living online, and the questions I’m asking as a Christ follower who also feels called to go full throttle with social media. I apologize for the short episode this week, I do this all myself and it was a rough week with the kids on top of an already busy schedule! I appreciate you all and your support as I navigate this! Hopefully some changes are coming in the future that can lighten my load.

What if you were in a massive social experiment for 42 days, cut off from the outside world and could potentially leave with 5 million dollars? Cory Sims did just that on a show called Beast Games, created by the famous Mr. Beast. With $5 million dollars on the line and millions of eyes on him, Cory’s faith, integrity, and character were impossible to miss. Despite walking away with nearly nothing, Cory left with a story he is proud to tell and gives God all the glory. In this episode of Upside Down Influencer, Cory shares what it was really like competing on Beast Games, the role his faith played throughout the experience, and what he learned about trusting God when the outcome isn't what you hoped for. He truly represents what it looks like to be an Upside Down Influencer.
