Sadie Robertson Huff is a wife, mama, founder of the ministry Live Original, sought-after speaker, podcaster, and author of the new book, "Who Are You Following?: Pursuing Jesus in a Social Media Obsessed World".  Our prayer is that, whether you are simply a social media consumer or a content creator, you would come away from this conversation feeling so freed and encouraged.      What We Chat about in Today's Episode: ~Sadie's new book, "Who Are You Following?: Pursuing Jesus in a Social Media Obsessed World", what readers can expect, and what led Sadie to write this book next ~How relevant Scripture is to our social media struggles ~Jesus' words to "Follow Me" and our idolization of "following" people online ~The false promise social media offers us of love, popularity, and being known, while only when we remember Christ's heart for us and walk with Him will we be truly known and truly loved ~The church's call to be a shining light on social media ~The idol of platform and the lie that you have to have a huge following in order to be a light for Christ on social media ~What influence actually is and how someone with only 10 followers could actually be more of an influencer than someone with a huge online platform ~How having the Holy Spirit alive in us leads us to having a power of influence greater than we usually realize ~How being in the Word does away with our insecurities we often have as a result of social media ~Being intentional about who we're following on social media and careful about who we are allowing to influence us ~The reality is that the nature of social media was never created for us to give us the validation, love, and acceptance we're craving - only our relationship with Christ is  ~And more!   For full shownotes, head to www.hargraveshomeandhearth.com/podcast
