In today’s digital world, it’s easy to lose sight of who we truly are. With every scroll, selfie, and story, we build profiles polished images of ourselves curated for others to see. But when the screen turns off and the likes fade away, we’re left with a deeper question:
“Is who I am online the same as who I am in Christ?”
As Christian youth navigating social media, it’s tempting to create an image that impresses others while hiding our real struggles, doubts, or faith. We often chase validation through comments and views, forgetting that our worth was already confirmed at the cross.
God doesn’t define us by our Instagram feed or how “put-together” we seem online. He sees the heart. In Psalm 139:14, the Bible reminds us, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” That’s not about perfect lighting or trendy captions it’s about being genuinely you, created in God’s image.
This episode challenges you to reflect on your digital life:
Is the person in your profile the same as the one in the mirror?
Are you showing people the real you or just the version you think they’ll accept?
Key Points to Remember:
1 Your identity is not in your online image, but in your Creator Colossians 3:3 — “Your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”
2 It’s okay to be real.
Vulnerability honors God more than perfection.
3 Use social media, but don’t let it use you. Be intentional. Ask: Does what I post reflect Christ in me?
4 God calls you to be the same person online and offline.
Let your faith shape your profile—not the other way around.
Conclusion:
Your “profile” will fade, trends will change, but who you are in Christ is eternal. Be bold. Be real. Be rooted in your true identity not just what’s seen, but what’s Spirit-led.
