Guarding joy and perspective

Students today are constantly exposed to curated lives, filtered images, and highlight reels—and comparison is often the result.

In this episode, we equip student ministry leaders to help students navigate the tension between social media and contentment. We’ll explore how comparison impacts identity, self-worth, and joy, and how to point students back to truth in a culture of constant comparison.

This is a practical and needed conversation for leaders who want to disciple students toward confidence in who God created them to be—not who the internet tells them to be.
