🤳 We live in a world of filters—but Jesus came for the unfiltered. In this raw and real episode, discover how your church can combat loneliness, protect kids online, and turn digital hurt into healing.
What’s the local church’s role in a world drowning in selfies, scrolls, and silent suffering?
In Episode 4 of Connected Faith, Dr. Layne McDonald and Bill Snyder expose the truth about today’s hyper-connected yet deeply isolated society—and how the Church must respond.

From Echo Park movie nights to WhatsApp ministry hubs, from YouVersion devotionals to geotargeted outreach, this episode is a crash course in reclaiming your zip code for Christ—and equipping every believer to become a digital laborer in the harvest.
Because the filtered photos aren't saving lives.
But your unfiltered story, saturated in truth and grace, just might.
