In episode 90, we talk with Chris Martin who, earlier this year, released his second book on social media entitled The Wolf in Their Pockets: 13 Ways the Social Internet Threatens the People You Lead.

Part of the brief book description states, "Martin both exposes the ways the Internet is distorting our life in Christ and shows us how to faithfully respond. Martin teaches us how to care for people who are obsessed with followers, views, and likes—and how to love those whose online influences have filled them with cynicism and contempt."

You will be blessed and challenged by Martin's book and our conversation.
