Are Instagram preachers and TikTok theologians taking the place of pastors and slowly eroding what Christians believe?
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on influencer culture and its growing influence on faith communities—revealing how social media popularity often replaces substance and discernment in our spiritual lives.
From recently saved celebrities trying to teach Biblical concepts to the latest Christian influencer telling you how to live, today’s faith landscape is being shaped by aesthetics, consumption, and curated trends—rather than thoughtful engagement and authentic faith.
Why are so many of us willing to emulate these influencers without asking the deeper questions? What happens to our beliefs when surface-level, viral content becomes more persuasive than careful biblical study?
In this eye-opening discussion between Chris and Richelle Alessi, you’ll hear why we must reclaim critical thinking as not just a spiritual discipline, but as an act of resistance.
