Listen Later

Ever feel like your screen time is ruling your life more than your faith? In this episode, we're diving into an honest conversation with Whitney Lowe—Christian influencer, author, and pastor’s wife—about the tension between social media, faith, and living with intention. Whitney shares how God led her to start an Instagram devotional in 2019 (right before the digital explosion of 2020) and how her new book, Set Your Eyes Higher, helps believers refocus on Christ above the noise of the world.

We talk about raising kids in a tech-driven culture, the sneaky ways social media disciples us, and why biblical literacy is more important than ever. If you’ve ever wrestled with how to balance online influence with real-life ministry, this episode is for you.

✅ How social media is shaping our faith (for better or worse) ✅ The power of “holy conviction” versus guilt when it comes to digital habits ✅ Why biblical engagement needs to go beyond Sunday sermons ✅ Raising kids with a healthy relationship to technology ✅ The importance of accountability for Christian influencers ✅ How revival starts with personal transformation
