58: Navigating Information Pollution with God’s Grace with Kirsten Schmidt
Let’s say you find yourself scrolling for hours on social media. And when you’re able to pull yourself away, you go into intense shame mode. Is there possibly something more gentle and helpful that could be done in those moments?
The answer is yes! God is there, and He’s waiting for us to turn to Him.
Kirsten Schmidt returns to the podcast to discuss what information pollution is, how the enemy uses it to keep us stuck, how it prevents root-cause solutions, what to do when you first notice you’re shaming yourself, and when to consider a social media detox.
You’re not broken—and you’re certainly not alone in this battle!
