and now, i have
released my first book:

I wrote Solving Social Media to help young people understand and work through the challenges of life in our social media age.

To do this, we have to get to the heart of why we use social media and let the gospel transform ourselves from the inside out.

Social media is one of the most incredible technologies ever created. With just a phone and a few clicks, you can share about your life with thousands of people anywhere in the world.

As young people, we were excited to sign up for these fun new apps. But as our lives became more and more intertwined with social media, they’ve caused a growing number of issues.

And so today, so many young people struggle with:

• Self-rejection

• Self-loathing

• Self-obsession

• Self-disappointment

These struggles cause all kinds of problems in our lives, including performance anxiety, fear of being judged, fluctuating self-worth, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, pride, comparison, and envy.

While most people are aware of these problems, no one has a good solution to them. And so we trudge along, trying to maximize its benefits while minimizing its drawbacks.

I believe that we can solve our issues with social media. To do so, though, we need to stop blaming our phones and start exploring our hearts.

You see, we were created by God to get approval, validation, meaning, purpose, and significance from Him. But because we’ve rejected a relationship with God, we use social media to try to get these things from our peers.

This doesn’t work, though, and we end up empty and discouraged when social media inevitably can’t replace God’s role in our lives.

So is there any hope for social media? I believe that we can solve our problems with social media and use it in a healthy way if we let the gospel reconnect us to God and transform our hearts.

This results in what I call gospel-saturated social media, where we are able to use social media to bless others and give glory to God.
