42 - Navigating Social Media as a Christian

We talk about all things social media and how it impacts our lives as Christians. Today, we’re diving into Sadie Robertson Hough’s book “Who Are You Following?” and discussing the dangers of social media.

Let’s face it, social media can be a pretty toxic place. The constant comparison game, the pressure to gain followers and likes, it can all be pretty overwhelming. But here’s the thing, we don’t have to let it control us. Instead, we can choose to guard our hearts and focus on Jesus as our plumb line.

But that’s not all, we can even use social media to be a positive influence and bring people to Jesus. Imagine that! It all starts with being intentional about what we post and making sure that we’re leading people toward God rather than away from Him.

In this episode, we’ll be sharing personal anecdotes and experiences related to social media and the challenges of using it in a way that aligns with our faith. We’ll also be giving you practical tips for using social media in a way that is positive and uplifting.

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.
