The Algorithm or The Bible: Who's Discipling You? - Special Guest: Elizabeth Woodson

About this episode

The episode discusses authentic spiritual formation in the context of social media and personal relationships with guest Elizabeth Woodson.

In a world dominated by social media scrolls and "therapy talk," how do we find authentic spiritual formation? In this episode of the Jude 3 Project Podcast, host Lisa Fields sits down with author and speaker Elizabeth Woodson to discuss her latest book, Habits of Resistance. Together, they dive deep into the "false narratives" that steal our peace - from the trap of radical individualism to the escapism of binge-watching. Elizabeth shares how we can reclaim ancient spiritual disciplines like fasting and lament to navigate life's "bitter and sweet" seasons. In This Episode: Spiritual Formation vs. Social Media: How memes are shaping our character more than Scripture. The Loneliness Epidemic: Why "ghosting" and isolation are replacing deep, communal relationships. Navigating Disappointment: What to do when the life you have isn't the life you hoped for. AI & Connection: How real-world relationships act as a resistance against digital dependency. Subscribe for more conversations that help you know what you believe and why you believe it.
