On May 6, 2020, Social Media erupted with news breaking about a new video showing the murder of Ahmed Arbery. The response was varied, but one thing I kept seeing was people saying "God does not see color!" But, is that true? Let's talk about that.

It’s Saturday night. I’m laying in bed, everyone is asleep, and two incidents from the week keep replaying in my mind involving each of my sons oddly (well perhaps not too oddly) leading me to some thoughts about discipleship.

I am joined by *Jason Villanueva* of the Salty Dogs Podcast ( https://www.saltydogspodcast.com/ ) on this special bonus collaborative episode where we discuss what it’s like being a Christian who deals with anger and trying to survive the Social Media trap. We give our best practices (that we too are trying to do as well) and some resources as to help YOU along your path to Social Media freedom. *Opening Music:* “Angry Dance” by Simon Panrucker *Outro Music:* “Clear Progress” by Scott Holmes

It is no secret that the American Church, especially, has grown so enamored with the idea of being cool and big that, as a whole, we’ve lost sight of what the Church really should look like.
