About This Message
Speaking to the youth group, Pastor Addison unpacks three lies about social media: that it is a neutral tool, that online connection matches real relationship, and that attention equals value. He explains how algorithms study users to exploit weakness for advertisers, warns against comparing curated feeds to real life, and tells of a teenager whose life ended after cruel online comments.
Key Takeaways
- Social media isn't neutral; it studies and exploits weaknesses.
- Curated online lives are highlight reels, not real connection.
- Treating attention as self-worth can be spiritually and emotionally destructive.
