Listen Later

In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the most common and overlooked sources of digital distraction, the news. Whether you’re someone who casually checks headlines or finds yourself deep in the rabbit hole of doom-scrolling, this conversation will help you understand how today’s 24/7 news cycle is affecting your mind, mood, and spiritual clarity.

You’ll learn how to set intentional boundaries around your news intake, how to recognize signs of news fatigue, and how to stay informed in a way that fuels action and peace, not anxiety. Most importantly, we’ll look at how to guard your heart and stay anchored in God’s truth as you engage with the world around you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What news fatigue is and how it silently impacts your mind, emotions, and body
  • Why today’s news is designed to hijack your attention (and how to stop letting it)
  • 3 practical boundaries to help you stay informed without spiraling
  • How to filter what you share or react to through a biblical lens
  • Ways to balance the hard headlines with hope-filled stories and redemptive action
  • If you’ve ever felt anxious, cynical, or emotionally exhausted after reading the news, this episode will give you tools to engage with wisdom, guard your peace, and move forward with clarity and calm.
