Taming Your Use of Social Media

The Healthy Church Staff Podcast

Does the allure of social media control your life or have you harnessed its power to serve you? This week, I'm Todd Rhoades, and I'm wrapping up our deep dive into deep work by confronting a formidable foe that threatens our focus: the relentless pull of social media. In our candid discussion, we peel back the layers of this modern distraction and examine its impact on church leaders and staff. It's startling to realize that with millions plugged into these platforms, we're all too often unwittingly sacrificing valuable time that could be spent on the work that truly fulfills us.
Join me as we explore the nuances of digital interactions that seduce us with dopamine hits from likes and comments, often blurring the lines between building meaningful relationships and falling into the trap of self-promotion. Our conversation ventures into the rarely discussed effects of social media on theology and church leadership and challenges the notion of whether these platforms genuinely foster connection or simply feed into the temptation of building personal empires. As we conclude this series, I urge you to reflect on your social media usage and consider how it may be steering you away from the essential, demanding, and rewarding work within the church.
