A Seriously Great Read: Like War; The Weaponization of Social Media

Through the weaponization of social media, the internet is changing war and politics, just as war and politics are changing the internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, “Twitter wars” produce real‑world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of nations.

A VERY GOOD PODCAST: Positive Talk Podcast: What Do You Do When the Church Hurts You?

Religious Trauma is very real. Often unintentionally, the church can hurt the very people that she is designed to serve and love. Sometimes it’s a result of human error, pride, and control. Sometimes, it’s as simple as ceasing to grow and not allow for questions or disagreements. Any way you look at it, the church is designed to heal, not hurt.

A Powerful Quote from Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
