Everyone’s Exhausted

It’s a brand-new season of Viral Jesus, and change is in the air. In this first episode of Season 3, Heather is joined by a surprise guest to help her introduce a new segment called #Blessed. It’s a fun and breezy look at headlines and ideas from the world of tech and social media. Heather also previews a new Viral Jesus formation project called “pod-classes” that will connect and build upon Heather’s weekly conversations with Christian creators, influencers, and thought leaders.For the inaugural, six-part series of pod-classes, the theme is “healing.” And Heather invites us to join her on a journey toward renewal. Together we will take the pulse of our relationship with social media, interrogate our tendency for constant comparison, and learn how to make time to lift our sights away from the screen and “look a little higher.”Mentioned in This EpisodeIs It Even Possible to Be an Authentic Person Online?Don’t Check Work Email on Vacation: Why Constant Connection Is Driving BurnoutExhausted Nation: Americans More Tired Than Ever Survey FindsAnxiety Grows Among Americans as Crisis After Crisis Spirals Out Of ControlStress in America: APA SurveyNearly Half of Americans Think They Are A Better Person Than Everyone They KnowHost BioHeather Thompson Day is an associate professor of communication at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan.
