Digital Empire: How Social Media Impacts Your Relationship With God

Have you ever stopped to consider the impact social media has on our relationship with God? Social media has drastically changed the world we live in—the way we communicate, how we spend our time, the number of people we interact with, who we allow to influence us, what we watch, and even our emotional state from day to day. So much of our lives has been reshaped by social media. There has been an increasing amount of research conducted on the effects of social media, but sadly, most of this research is approached from a secular perspective. While secular research can be informative, as Christians we should ultimately look to God and His Word for answers in our lives. In Digital Empire , we dive into the most important question we should be asking regarding social media: How does social media impact our relationship with God? By turning to the Bible, we seek to answer this vital question. Social media itself is not wrong to have or to use, but as Christians, we must develop the habit of evaluating whether our use of social media truly glorifies God. Digital Empire explores both the pros and cons of social media. While social media can pull us away from an intimate relationship with God, it can also be used to glorify Him. Every day, we are engaged in a spiritual battle for the throne of our hearts. God desires all of our hearts, but the Devil seeks to draw them away—and social media is one of the tools he uses to do so. Digital Empire equips readers to ensure that God remains the King of their hearts in every area of life, including how—or even if—they use social media.
