About this episode

The episode discusses how online culture influences young women's self-perception and offers biblical guidance for parents.

In this six-part podcast series, we walk through Freya India’s book GIRLS: Gen Z and the Commodification of Everything , examining how online culture has shaped young women and how Christian parents can respond with biblical truth. In this first episode on Chapter 1, “Filtered,” Kelly considers how Freya India’s argument that filters, FaceTune, beauty influencers, selfies, and algorithmic feeds have trained girls to inspect, alter, and display themselves for approval. The evidence makes it clear that this is not merely a beauty trend; it is a discipleship system rooted in an anti-Christian anthropology. Parents are encouraged not only to think biblically about beauty, but to shepherd their children with both loving boundaries and biblical guidance, teaching daughters that their worth is not found in beauty, attention, or online approval, but in the God who created, knows, and redeems them.
