Social Media Fast 2020
July is a key month in my personal spiritual rhythms because it’s the month I fast from social media and try to live a more analog life.
Can we just admit we are jacked-up?
Feels good to get that off your chest, doesn’t it? As the Chief Recovering Hypocrite around these parts, I want people to experience more of that. That’s why I started this podcast. Having been a pastor for nearly two decades, I’ve seen my fair share of sin out there (and in here, for that matter) and I want to talk about it.
Every other week (usually), I sit in front of a microphone by myself or with a guest to talk about the relentless grace of God directed at jacked-up people who don’t deserve it one bit.
