Roundtable: How to Detox From Social Media

 

You intend to “just check” your social media accounts, but a few minutes turn into an hour or more of mindless scrolling. You’ve tried to stop before, but the lure of the screen and its endless notifications are too much. You promise to do something about it…tomorrow. If this sounds like you, it may be time for a detox. To help motivate you, our guests describe what has helped them control the time spent on their phones, specifically with social media. They’ll also talk about the life gains they’ve seen as a result, and share ideas for replacing screen time with real relationships. 

 

Culture: JP Pokluda on Breaking Bad Habits (Part 2)  

 

Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do? Replace Deadly Vices With Life-Giving Virtues 

 

Inbox: Dating Without Marriage in Mind

 

Is it wrong to date if you aren’t ready to get married? Counselor Kari Aho weighs in.

 

 

In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul is candid about his struggle with sin: “Why do I do what I don’t want to do?” Pastor Jonathan Pokluda asks the same question in his latest book (titled exactly that!). We can all relate, but what do we do about it? Is it possible to replace vices with virtues and bad habits with good ones? Is it possible to not let sin have mastery over us? In part two of our conversation, JP will tackle three battles we all face: perception management vs. authenticity, busyness vs. rest, and cynicism vs. optimism.
