Media For Formation

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. – Romans 12:1-2

This is one of my favorite passages because it seems like such a great way to live a life of purpose and meaning and not just default to what is happing around you. The truth is, it’s a lot easier said than done.

Technology and media is here to stay, it can be one of the biggest barriers to growing spiritually. But why not let it help you in your formation! Media is just like most things in life – it had both great opportunities but also has negative consequences when we don’t use it mindfully.
