Social media—blessing or a curse?

The same tool that is used as a blessing to connect us to people around the world can also be used to interfere with our identity and relationship with the Lord.

When we’re focused on getting affirmation from our followers on social media, it can be easy to forget that we are ALREADY affirmed as children of God. 🔥

🎙️ In this new episode of Directed Life, host Kap Chatfield sits down with Chaz Smith, man of God and social media influencer. Together they discuss the duality of social media and how to practice discipline as you navigate it for your business and personal life.

Social media is an inevitable part of today’s marketplace. BUT when you use social media from a place of being truly grounded in your identity in Christ, it can’t shake you.

Main Takeaways:

💎 The Lord’s love for you is not based on your performance.

💎 Your value is in your identity as a loved child of God.

💎 Social media can illuminate what’s truly in your heart.

💎 You are God’s masterpiece!

Quotes:

💬 “If we’re affected by how a post performs, it’s likely that we’re placing our identity in our performance instead of being sons and daughters of God. I know this from experience.” - Chaz Smith

💬 “Jesus was an influencer. He had all these followers, but what did he say to them? He wasn’t caring about what they thought or said. He said, ‘I am going to say what the Father put in my heart. I’m going to do what He’s calling me to do.” - Chaz Smith

💬 “No amount of money is worth my peace and my relationship with the Lord.” - Chaz Smith

💬 “The discipline of social media is really just about being aware of why you’re doing what you’re doing.” - Chaz Smith
