S1E35: Scrolling with Purpose: How Should Christians Use Social Media? Pt. 1
Social media touches nearly every part of our daily lives—but is it helping us love better, or hurting our ability to connect meaningfully?
In this thought-provoking solo episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with Christians, host Paul Basden explores the power, pitfalls, and potential of social platforms through a biblical lens. From endless scrolling to the search for validation, Paul challenges listeners to evaluate their digital habits in light of Jesus’ command to love our neighbors—online and off.
Join us as we explore:
The addictive nature of social media—and why we touch our phones 2,600 times a day
How social media can be both a relational gift and a cultural curse
What Jesus’ Golden Rule looks like in a digital world (Matthew 7:12)
Practical reflections on how to scroll with purpose, not passivity
Reflections on How to Know a Person by David Brooks
Key insights from Jonathan Haidt’s research on teen mental health and tech use
Whether you’re an influencer or a casual scroller, this episode will challenge you to think more deeply about the role of social media in your life— and consider what it might mean to live your faith out loud, even in the comment section.
