Should Christians think differently about what we post, share, and say online? In this episode, Mark and Emily explore the Ninth Commandment, “Do not bear false witness,” and apply it to the age of social media, political outrage, and public discourse.

They talk about the temptation to exaggerate, misrepresent, or dehumanize those we disagree with — and why followers of Jesus should be people who speak truth, pursue peace, and resist the pull of conspiracy, sarcasm, and slander. From political ads to Instagram comments, this conversation invites us to reflect Christ not only in what we say, but how we say it.
