·31 min·3 clips

Pastor Christian Powell asks whether social media is right or wrong, framing it as an amoral tool like the tongue.

This episode is a sermon by Pastor Christian Powell titled 'Social Media: Right or Wrong?' from Faith Church. Powell begins by acknowledging that social media has been around for about 20 years and that most listeners have used it. He poses the central question of whether social media is right or wrong, noting that everyone has opinions on the topic. Powell states that social media is amoral in itself, not inherently righteous or unrighteous. He compares it to other forms of entertainment or communication, describing it as a tool. The sermon draws on biblical wisdom, specifically referencing Proverbs about the tongue. Powell explains that just as a mouth can be used for evil through lying or gossip, it can also be used for good, such as blessing the Lord or sharing the gospel. This analogy extends to social media, suggesting its morality depends on user intent. The format is a solo sermon with an educational tone, focusing on ethical and theological perspectives. Recurring themes include the neutrality of technology, the responsibility of users, and the connection between modern communication and ancient biblical principles. Key moments include the initial hook questioning social media's morality, the comparison to the tongue from Proverbs, and the conclusion that social media is a tool whose value is determined by its use. The episode does not feature guests but is delivered by Powell as the primary speaker. It encourages listeners to reflect on their social media habits in light of faith-based ethics.
