Publisher's Summary

Why do I feel so irritated after being on social media? I just spent way too much time scrolling Instagram! Why is everyone on Facebook having more fun than I am? Should I delete all my accounts?

Social media can be both a delight and a disaster for women who want to love God and love their neighbor. The industry has grown so fast that it's been hard to figure out how to handle it wisely: In less than 20 years, more than 75 percent of American women have signed up for an account. The latest surveys show Americans spend more than two hours a day scrolling, posting, and liking. How can we navigate this area of our lives with grace and discernment?

Join nine authors as they explore social media's potential and pitfallsalong with the biblical principles we need to honor the Lord online.

Encouraging

As a Christian woman, I feel I fail at pulling away from social media and think it adds value to my life. The way I use it, really doesn't add anything to my life other than communicating with friends through posts and sharing funny memes. I have been learning a lot about my interests (fashion, art, homesteading, Christianity, marriage, etc...). I feel encouraged to leave social media and focus on my off line projects. I believe it has caused too much drama in my life. And it doesn't offer deeper connections to build deep friendships in. If anything, it has destroyed friendships. If I didn't reply, or engage in conversations fast enough, i was a bad friend. It has distracted me from making conversation in person. Also has led me into comparison silent battles with friends on there and their feeds. It's brag wars. Though I'm learning about health and home care, I feel encouraged to leave anyway. These are topics I can google later on anyway when the times come to learn about them rather than being given the topics or solutions before even facing any problem at all. God may have other plans but I rarely post anymore. I don't feel like I'm making a difference or am a big influence at all, anyway! Beautifully written. I will listen to this again in the future. Already recommending it to my godly friends who are going through the same thing themselves.
