Key insights from the episode: 


We get lost in the transactional nature of social media. - Nona Jones


Social technology gives us access to sides of people we don’t normally see. - Nona Jones


As believers, everything we post is an opportunity to bring others closer to Jesus. - Nona Jones


“It doesn’t matter how many followers you have if they are not following God too.” - Nona Jones


“Insecurity isn’t caused by social media, it is revealed by it. The real cause of insecurity is ‘What is your identity tied to?’” - Nona Jones


Physical appearance is an insecure foundation: 1) you will age and 2) standards change. 

 - Nona Jones


The biblical character Jonathan proves to us that God’s favor on someone else’s life is not a threat to the purpose on our own. -  Nona Jones


Humility is fully occupying your lane of life.  - Nona Jones


Where insecurity sees someone as a competitor, humility sees someone to celebrate. - Nona Jones


Nona Jones’s Challenge: Think about who is the person who triggered your insecurity. Reach out to that person, encourage them, and pray for them.


Are you following Jesus? 


Many want to be greater followers of Jesus but don’t know how. So we did an extensive study on everything that Jesus commanded of us and located key targets. The five targets are Being, Forgiving, Serving, Giving, and Going.


In partnership with LifeWay Research, we created the FREE Red Letter Challenge Assessment that will measure you according to these five targets. You will get results back immediately and be presented with practical steps and challenges to help you become an even greater follower of Jesus.
