In this short sermon, the speaker shares a personal experiment of taking a week‑long break from social media. Upon returning, the impulse to immediately log back on highlighted how the constant chatter of online platforms drowns out the inner voice of God. The speaker argues that social media can hijack thoughts, causing believers to adopt the opinions and narratives of the crowd. In contrast, moments of solitude spent reading Scripture and praying allow God’s thoughts to replace our own, leading to transformation and deeper intimacy with the divine. The talk concludes with a call to intentionally balance engagement with the digital world and intentional retreat into God’s Word, seeking a rhythm that protects spiritual discernment.

Chapters

I just took maybe like a 1-week break from social media, and the first thing that I wanted to do after I logged back on was to log back off. It made me realize that hearing from God is a lot more difficult when you are hearing other voices. If you aren't careful, social media can rob you of your thoughts. You begin to think the things that others think, and that's just what happens when you consume different types of media. But when you find yourself alone with God, reading His Word, praying, you begin to consume His thoughts, and then His thoughts become your thoughts. So we really need to find ourselves in that place again where we meditate on scripture, meditate on the Word. And it's something that I want to do better. Just seeing how transformative life can be when you just ignore all the other thoughts and all the other noise and all the other opinions, it leads me to just want to retreat back in God. So let's find this balance.
