43 - Exploring Cancel Culture and Authenticity

43 - Exploring Cancel Culture and Authenticity

Today we’re diving deep into the world of cancel culture and social media. We’re going to explore how your public image can impact your sense of self and how cancel culture can lead to mob mentality.

We’re also discussing Sadie Robertson Huff’s incredible new book, “Who Are You Following? Pursuing Jesus in a Social Media Obsessed World.” It’s an amazing read that encourages you to become someone worth following rather than just focusing on growing your followers. It reminds us to build a strong relationship with the Lord and become a more authentic version of ourselves.

But we’re not just talking about the book today. We’re also challenging ourselves and our listeners to engage in real discussions, even with those who hold different viewpoints. We need to be comfortable with uncomfortable conversations and not just unfollow or mute people who disagree with us.

So, let’s all take a step back and consider the amount of time we spend on social media and how we can portray a more honest and vulnerable version of ourselves online. It’s time to focus on building strong roots and connections with God rather than just getting caught up in the numbers game.

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.
