How is social media changing the depth of our relationships? Statistics
indicate that the more social media a person has in his or her life, the
greater that person’s odds of having depression. Research indicates that
“all screen activities are linked to less happiness and all non-screen
activities are linked to greater health.” Millennials have heard horror
stories about their peers who have been vulnerable with their church

local church to find community, so what are we going to do to facilitate
community and healing outside of our churches?
