Episode Description:

Shawn emphasizes the importance of Christians embodying virtues such as love, joy, peace, and kindness in their online interactions rather than indulging in pride, gossip, and self-promotion, which technology can facilitate. He critiques social media platforms for often fostering negative behaviors and stresses that while using these tools for engagement is a personal choice, Christians should always reflect the teachings of the Spirit and Christ in their communications.

A true Christian approach emphasizes love over being right, advocating for spreading faith with kindness and understanding rather than aggression or rudeness, which only serves to fracture the community. In anticipation of rising tensions and stricter regulations on speech, believers are encouraged to seek peace and embrace unity, exemplifying Christ's teachings in their interactions.
