Digital Christianity - Episode 6: How to Be A Person...It’s Harder Than You Think

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the complexities of identity in the age of social media and technology. The discussion delves into "confessional intimacy," a term coined to describe the personal and often revealing nature of online interactions. We question whether social media platforms help or hinder our self-awareness and investigate the alluring yet elusive quest for wisdom and guidance in a culture increasingly moving towards digital interactions.

We also address the phenomenon of online voyeurism and the strong human desire for insider information, examining how it shapes both content creators and consumers. Moreover, the episode highlights the struggle for genuine human connection in a world where artificial intelligence and influencers often play a significant role in shaping our perceptions and behaviors.

Join us as we seek wisdom from Jen Pollock Michel, Andy Crouch, and Brett McCracken for practical advice on maintaining genuine human connections despite the digital onslaught, urging listeners to be mindful of their embodied existence and to seek out real-life interactions that foster authentic community and personal growth.
