123 | Roots of Addiction: Social Media & Gaming


Listen Later

Join us this week on MercyTalk as we discuss another area of addiction and one of the roots to this addiction—the addiction of social media and gaming. Today our hosts, Melanie and Jen, with special guest, Brooke will discuss the need for significance and how we often try to meet that need with an addiction to social media, the internet, and, at times, gaming. Join them as they talk through:

  1. What social media addiction is and how to recognize it
  2. The need we have for connection and significance and the immediacy that social media can provide
  3. Other reasons that social media can become an issue, including comparison and fear in relationships
  4. How to address social media addiction in a biblical way in your life or in the life of someone you care about
  5. Have a comment or question? Email MercyTalk.
