There are some legitimate negative consequences of living online. That is why some of our Engage team have had a live a life completely void of social media. But there are also some great and positive results of living an online life. We have access to old friends, new friends, resources, and ideas we would miss out on if we did not use social media at all.
Using social media we can gain exposure to ideas, arguments, and concepts completely foreign to our natural way of thinking, and that is a good thing. We may not agree with them, but it gives us an opportunity to engage with them and defend our faith, or defending ideas we see in Scripture.
Wesley and Teddy talk about some of the great to benefits to having a social media life, only one of which being that you can connect with us at Engage through our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram platforms, not to mention connecting with us personally through Wesley's Instagram, or Teddy's (though don't expect much from him, he isn't cool enough to use it often).
