Social Media and Mental Health: “Anxious in the Algorithm”

This episode explores how social media shapes our mental health, fueling anxiety, comparison, and isolation in a hyperconnected world. Together, we’ll discover what the Bible says about peace, identity, and finding true freedom beyond the algorithm.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly comparing your life to others online? You’re not alone. In a world where every scroll brings more noise, pressure, and perfection, it’s easy to lose peace. But God never designed us to carry that kind of weight—He invites us to slow down, breathe, and find rest for our souls. Real peace isn’t found in likes, followers, or endless scrolling; it’s found in surrender, in remembering that your worth isn’t defined by what you post, but by the One who created you. Turn down the noise, lift your eyes, and let your heart be still again.
