Discipled by social media • S3E12

Is the constant stream of global tragedy and social media comparison literally re-wiring our brains? Today on Pocket Theology, Jason, Jaden, and special guest Amanda Farmer tackle the "biocschosocial" phenomenon of modern stress.

We’re diving into the heavy stuff—suicidal ideation among teens, the "body morphing" trends of digital identity, and the rise of AI as a tool for therapy and theology. But it’s not all doom and gloom. We discuss:

• The "Purist Movement": Why kids are returning to paper Bibles, highlighters, and analog spaces.

• Redeeming the Feed: How creators like Forest Frank and Bryce Crawford are using social media for the Gospel.

• Rhythms of Grace: Moving away from "subjective truth" and back toward the timeless traditions of the church.

Stay tuned for a hilarious debate on "Hot Pocket Theology" (think Hot Ones, but with scalding pizza snacks) and a look at why we need to be a "non-anxious presence" when the world feels like a crazy train.
