In this 'Insights' episode Julie and I (Christa) reflect on the recent episode with Maria from Focus on the Family NZ, starting with a deeper look at the Bible verse, "Be still and know that I am God." We chat about how making space for quiet time deepens our connection and relationship with God.
We also talk about the challenges of simply sitting with ourselves and God and the ministry of tears. We share our thoughts on setting personal social media boundaries and discuss the pain of knowing everything happening in the world - there's a reason God is all-knowing and we're not! Rounding out our discussion we finish this episode with our thoughts on navigating social media as Christians and (myself personally) as a Christian content creator.
