Quit Social Media
Matt and Derek convene for a good Mere Fidelity argument about social media, with Alastair mediating.
We can all feel it. Something about social media is just really unhealthy. But what to do about it? That’s the question on the table in this episode of Mere Fidelity. Should we pull the plug entirely? Should we seek balance? Should we embrace it?

The Book of the Month for March 2024 is W. Ross Hastings’ Pastoral Ethics: Moral Formation as Life in the Trinity. Hastings provides pastors an evangelical and trinitarian framework for moral formation and ethical discernment. For Hastings, ethics must be reclaimed as theological. Theology without ethics becomes gnosticism. Ethics without theology leads to legalism and death. Christian ethics participates in God’s life and God’s work.
