Today, we tackle a force that shapes every boardroom, every church, every home—social media. This isn’t a tech review. This is a battle for your soul.
Paul M. Neuberger pulls no punches. He calls out the idols of likes, follows, and empty affirmation. He exposes the toxic tide of comparison, outrage, and curated lives. But he also proclaims this: Social media has become a mission field—ripe for the Gospel if you have the backbone to enter it.
You’ll hear about criticism, mockery, and spiritual wounds. You’ll also hear how Christ turns tools of darkness into megaphones for His truth. Jesus is still Lord—online, offline, everywhere.
So what about you? When your faith collides with the digital world, will you run, or will you rise?
Buckle up. This episode is raw, real, and rooted in truth.
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” –Romans 12:2
Episode Highlights
27:09 - God wants to form your character. Algorithms want to capture your attention. God develops patience. Algorithms reward immediacy. God teaches contentment. Algorithms often cultivate comparison. God tells us to love our enemies. Algorithms frequently introduce us to more reasons to hate our enemies.
34:15 - I think the greater danger is that it slowly changes what we think about all day long. And over time, what captures your attention shapes your thinking. What shapes your thinking influences your decisions. Your decisions become your habits. Your habits shape your character, and your character determines the direction of your life.
49:42 - Jesus never promised his followers comfort. He promised his presence. And that changes everything. The answer isn't to panic. It's not to become angry or to retreat into the darkness. The answer is to become so deeply rooted in scripture that no algorithm can redefine your identity.
