EP329: Is Social Media Making Us Literally Sick? | Advent Week 2: Prepare for the Hope That Won't Disappoint | MUCH MORE

On This Episode: ADVENT WEEK 2: Preparation Week 1’s theme was hope. As we hope for ultimate Advent of Christ, though, we prepare. I’ll note in this segment that a too-common experience is that a promise – even a fulfilled promise – can sometimes leave us underwhelmed. Sometimes we overestimate our joy at an experience. The Second Advent will not be that, though. Whatever hope you have for Jesus’s Second Coming, you’re not hoping enough. So, as we await that hope, we prepare. I’ll give you some ideas on how to do that. WHAT HAPPENED, WHERE WE ARE, AND WHERE WE’RE GOING I saw data this week that recorded the rapid secularization of the United States.

OUR MEDIA DIET IS MAKING US SICK Just as a bad nutrition regimen will make us sick, our media diet of relying on social media and internet is making emotionally, mentally and even physically sick. I have a solution.
