Ep 256 Are you Living a Virtual or Virtuous Life? ft. Jared Haley & Chris Wilson [Part 1]

Reality or fantasy? Non-fiction or fiction? Truth or deception? What head space are you living in these days? 

Today’s conversation on SBD is two regular guys, co-hosts Jared and Chris, talking candidly about what it means to live and behave with a high regard for other people, to live morally, ethically, and biblically. To live in the present and proximity of others in a world living separated on technology. 

In the last decade, there has been a major shift of people living online and projecting what they want others to “think” is their life through social channels.  What are the long-term consequences of this, we do not yet know. 

Ultimately it comes down to what matters most to us: Our relationships and connections to other human beings in a real, physical way -or- basing the quality of our lives on how many followers and likes we are getting. 

“There is such thing as too much of a good thing and too much of a bad thing… and it’s finding that healthy balance and healthy line of what are my priorities and how much time am I going to invest in that digital space.” – Jared Haley
