41 - Pursuing Jesus in a Social Media Obsessed World

In this episode, we discuss the impact of social media on our lives and the importance of following Jesus in a social media-obsessed world. Our guest, Sadie Robertson Hough, shares her insights from her book, "Who Are You Following? Pursuing Jesus in a Social Media Obsessed World."

Sadie talks about the impact of social media on our lives, especially on millennials, who were the first to be greatly impacted by it. Social media has the power to influence our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, and it's important to be aware of its impact. She also highlights the importance of finding a balance between using social media and following Jesus.

Sadie shares her personal experience with social media and how it has helped her stay connected with friends and promote her podcast. However, she acknowledges the dark side of social media, such as cyberbullying and harmful content. She encourages listeners to be intentional about who they follow on social media and to seek first the kingdom of God.

I challenge us to think about who they want to be on the internet and how they can use social media to influence others positively. I emphasize the importance of seeking good fruits and following Jesus above all.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
