Today we have Sarah Jane Souther on an unhealthy aspect of social media consumption. At CT, Caroline Fea runs our social media accounts, so we asked her to reflect on how she maintains a healthy relationship with social media. |
|
Here’s what Caroline had to say: As CT’s associate engagement editor, I spend nearly 40 hours a week looking at social media platforms, thinking about social media strategy, reading social media comments, and moderating social media content. It can be a lot for my brain, especially when my job involves some less pleasant sides of the internet. |
|
To offset this in my personal life, I have tried to spend intentional time on my more "analog" hobbies. A friend taught me to bake sourdough bread, I’ve planted a garden and learned to compost, I read lots of books, and I walk more than I ever have. My friends joke that I am the grandma of our friend group, but this spring I’m excited to try pottery and, if I have time, learn to knit. |
|
I still sometimes doomscroll on my own accounts after logging out of CT’s, but I‘ve found that hobbies that keep me off my phone offer much-needed time for my mind to wander. |

April 7, 1498: Franciscan friars arrange an "ordeal by fire" in Florence to settle the dispute between reforming preacher Jerome Savonarola and Pope Alexander VI. Alexander had excommunicated Savonarola for preaching against papal corruption; Savonarola responded by calling for the pope to step down. If Savonarola’s friend Fra Domenico could walk safely between two walls of fire, God was supposedly on the Florentine city-manager’s side. |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
