Social media "hot girls" were driving Sarah Jane Souther crazy. Their obsession with self seemed incessant and vapid, but Souther wanted to dig deeper to get to the true source of her irritation. So, she decided to spend two weeks posting like the influencers who annoyed her.
"The posts that were directly and unabashedly about me got more attention," Souther wrote at CT. "That feedback loop was addictive. Yet it also tormented me. Why didn’t more people respond? Why did that person respond, but that person didn’t?" |
|
In "The Social Media Navel Gaze," Souther explores her tendency to navel-gaze. Self-reflection, she finds, is important and necessary for pursuing wisdom and love. Too much of it, though, can distort our thinking and living. It's a bit of a Goldilocks game.
"We could keep gazing at ourselves with our critical, fallacy-prone human eyes," Souther writes. "Or, we could invite the perfect gaze of God." |

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. |
