We closed out our "Search for Truth" series with a discussion on Social Media. We discussed some of the opportunities and advantages of such a connected culture as well as some of the challenges and pitfalls that it presents.
It was amazing to see how engaged all the kids were in the discussion, because it is something that affects them in their everyday lives in a very real and apparent way. I was also blown away by how perceptive the kids were on many of the dangers of the ultra connected world. They echoed many of my sentiments, but it seems that most were participating in them while despising them.
We closed out the night by examining some Biblical concepts that we can use when navigating the online world like the fact that we are not our own, but have been bought with a price and that we are called to, in everything, bring Glory to God (and not our selves.)
It was a great night, with tons of discussion and I think it will be something that sticks with kids for a long time.
Next week, the entire night will be organized and lead by our Youth Lead Team. I am excited to see the energy going into the night and especially to see what comes out of it.
Stay tuned for details :)
