For better or for worse, the Internet is influencing us. The question is, how are we curating that formation and actively shaping instead of being shaped by the online world?

In this episode, host Jay Y. Kim discusses the digital age's challenges and opportunities for discipleship with Patrick Miller, a pastor, cultural commentator, and host of the popular news commentary podcast Truth Over Tribe. 

Drawing from his own digital expertise, Miller comments on the ways in which social media can warp our perception of our own competency, confuse the context of our content, and cause us to succumb to misinformed disagreements. Together, they envision a digital presence that instead can be marked by flourishing, integrity, and confession. 

By encouraging sober-minded engagement with social media, Kim and Miller hope to equip and inspire you to navigate the digital landscape with love, humility, and a heart tuned to God's mission.
