News and Politics: How I Stay Informed Without Losing My Peace (A Christian Media Diet)
I'll be honest: there was a season when I'd wake up, grab my phone, and immediately dive into the news. Before my feet hit the floor, I'd already consumed a dozen headlines, scrolled through social media reactions, and felt my blood pressure rising. By 8 a.m., I was anxious, angry, or overwhelmed. And the worst part? I wasn't actually more informed. I was just more exhausted. The breaking point came when I realized I was bringing that tension into every conversation, every pr

[News and Politics]: How I Talk About Hard Headlines Without Losing My Christian Witness
I'll be honest: some mornings I wake up, scroll through the news, and feel my chest tighten. Another tragedy. Another scandal. Another wave of anger washing across social media. And I'm left wondering: How do I engage with this world without losing my peace? How do I speak up without compromising my witness as a follower of Jesus? It's a question I've wrestled with for years. Because staying silent feels like apathy, but jumping into every debate feels exhausting and counterp

News and Politics: How I Stay Informed Without Feeding Outrage (A Christian Practice)
I used to scroll through news apps first thing in the morning. Before coffee, before prayer, before I even fully woke up, I was already anxious, angry, or both. The algorithm knew exactly what would keep me glued to the screen: outrage. Click after click, I felt my blood pressure rising and my peace evaporating. Then I realized something uncomfortable: the news cycle wasn't informing me. It was using me. As a Christian, I believe staying informed matters. I care about justice

News and Politics: Staying Kind in a Heated Year: How I Engage Without Becoming Cruel
I'll be honest: 2026 is already feeling intense. Between election cycles, policy debates, and social media echo chambers, it seems like everyone's ready to throw down over just about anything. And I get it. These conversations matter. They affect real people's lives. But somewhere along the way, I noticed something troubling: the louder the debates got, the less kind I was becoming. That realization stopped me in my tracks. I started asking myself: how do I stay engaged with
