We all recognize that social media is ultimately not healthy for our souls. The constant barrage of news, change of opinions, “new research”, and simply coveting other’s lives just leaves us feeling anxious, defeated, and worthless. At least this is how I felt for years until I finally deleted Instagram for good. But while I was active on it I started to notice a subtle narrative being portrayed: there is only one way to live life, especially as a Christian woman.
