About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of social media on theology and spiritual growth.
Social media has put theology in everyone's pocket - but is it forming us or deforming us? In this episode of The Branch Podcast, Pastors Anthony Lombardi, Matthew Johnson, and Chris Reed examine the world of Christian influencers and short-form theological content. They explore why platform size does not equal credibility, how algorithms quietly shape belief, and why genuine spiritual growth has always required community, accountability, and the long, unglamorous work of studying scripture. The conversation closes with practical steps for anyone who wants to take their spiritual formation seriously in a world built for distraction. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/MqL7pY5BGls
