35 - Curating Our Social Media Feeds

In this episode, we talk social media feeds and algorithms, and how we as Christians should be more thoughtful of what we consume.

David leads the discussion by taking the other CLC directors through the content of one of his workshops. Join us as we look at the menu of the restaurant "Healthy, Filling, Fattening and Harmful - Where we make the choice and we make sure you like it!"
