Thank you for this video! One of the hardest things I did was delete my FB in 2016. I just found that it was depleting my energy, leaving me feeling worse about myself, and struggling with jealousy and envy vs. leading me towards gratitude for all that God has given me. I lacked self control with it, so I gave it up. I mostly got support although some were like 'you did what?'. Like you said it's not that these platforms are inherently good or evil but what we DO with them. So for me, deleting it helped me refocus on God above and keep me grateful for what I have! Great verses and you're right, God's words are timeless and useful for all!!

Actually My Space was popular before Facebook took off and pretty much killed My Space.

The Bible verses:
Proverbs 4:23 -"Above all else guard your heart for everything you do flows from it"
Philippians 4:8 - Whatever is true, honorable, justice, pure, lovely, commandable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise; THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS

The questions:
- Why do I wanna post this?
- What do I hope people will get out of this?
- Am I trying to find fullfillment through this post?
- Is this post honoring to God?

Thank youuuu

I could not agree more such a great video! I also wanted to add being careful what you comment. I've heard a lot of YouTubers say that the comments can be such an inspiration to them or a very discouraging place for them and others too. On a Christian channel we should be seeking to encourage each other and if something is negative we should seek it to ask those questions privately and in all sincerity. This is why I try to keep my social media very positive cuz in a world that is so negative it's important to me to keep it very uplifting and funny and sincere. Great is always ladies.

I so love this video. You’ve really helped me so much in my walk with God and with maintaining my faith! I hope my channel ends up being as helpful for someone as yours has been for me!❤️

Thank you for this video! Social media can be so addicting. I agree that before we post we need to ask God about it. I love this channel, I hope it stays ad free forever!

[emilymilson]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this Kristin and Bethany! I've been trying to use my social media as more of a platform to share my faith recently, but there still is that temptation to try to impress people with my posts so these questions are so so helpful! Thanks for everything you do with Girl Defined Ministries! It means so much to me, and many other women <3

[annamariehart]

Amen. Thank you for this. God here lately has been my amount of use and how I use social media on my mind.

[hirtzlifechristianblogs]

Awesome points! It's so easy to get caught up in the wave of social media.🌊 It is important that we find our identity in God rather than the likes. 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️💯Thanks for sharing!! 👊😁

[daryaoestman]

You're hair is so cute Kristen! This is a great video! Thank you ladies for all you do! I appreciate you! Stay strong! Love you girls!! :)

[lilleestanke]

Bethany...are we going to get to hear all about Baby? I’m pretty sure we’re getting some baby bump action already! I’m so excited for you, congrats!

You girls are amazing and speak such great truth, it’s nice to hear God’s truths outside of the house and know that others believe similar things!

[tabbyrh]

Amen, ladies!!! I think one of the hardest things for me about social media has been having to un-follow on Insta people I know in real life and rub shoulders with and have grown up with because so often, I think we (myself included haha) see someone un-follow us on social media and then think they've "un-followed" us in "real life" too. When really, at least on my end, it's been that i couldn't have the things the post showing up in my feed with a good conscience before the Most High. But it's just another way we have to be principled and firm in who the Most High has called us to be and fear Him rather than man. Lovely video!!! <3 P.S. Your checklist at the end was so spot on and helpful for me so thanks muchly for sharing :)
