Ep 147 A Legacy of a Responsible Social Media Relationship with Chris Martin

Chris Martin wrote a book on social media, not to scare us—okay, scare us a little—but to make us ask this question: "Do we use social media or are we being used by it?" His book, Terms of Service: The Real Cost of Social Media out in February asks this question and many more that we need to ask and answer.

Chris, husband and father of a two-year-old Magnolia, formally with Lifeway marketing, now works as content editor of Moody Publishing. He wrote Terms of Service to educate us as to how we can continue to use it for good without begin trapped in its manipulative clutches, while enjoying the benefits of something in our culture that is not going away.

His legacy is delightful--listen to the end. You will be encouraged, I guarantee.

Am I finding my worth in the number of my Facebook likes?
The more Facebook flourishes as a force in social media, the less that people flourish.
Will we allow Social Media more power than it deserves—like allowing it to define our worth, something that has been settled by God and His pursuit of us?
Will we use Social Media for good instead of it using us?
