1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Boredom, Social Media, and Church Life: Anxiety, Algorithms, and Easter Service Times On the Divine Uninspired Podcast, Paul, Penny, and Jeremy chat about recent chaos including surgeries, a lost-and-found dog, and travel delays through the Orlando airport, which sparks a discussion about boredom, silence, and constant stimulation. They talk about social media habits (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram), comment culture versus real conversation, AI-generated fake articles, staged online content, and how online engagement can become the lowest form of relationship. Jeremy shares a story about a conservative church criticizing jazzercise in a bulletin, and they debate how churches and businesses should use social media without chasing fame or performative goodness. The episode ends with Journey church announcements for Easter services: regular Sunday services at 10:00 and 11:15, an 8:30 donuts “sunrise” service, and a Thursday 7:00 PM Easter service (April 2), with streaming available. 00:00 Cold Open Hip Hop Talk 01:04 New Chairs New Vibes 01:40 March Of Disaster Updates 03:59 Orlando Trip Airport Chaos 06:21 Boredom And Busy Lives 12:56 Silence Over Stimulation 16:36 Dog Talk And Nicknames 19:28 Babies Smoking And Stories 23:06 Church Bulletins To Social Media 26:04 YouTube Stats And Streaming Stress 26:47 Mindless YouTube Habits 27:25 Nineties NBA Nostalgia 28:19 All Star Weekend Letdown 28:44 YouTube Premium And Music 30:10 Facebook Stats And Surveys 31:31 Phone Screening And Office Drama 33:00 Social Media Harms And Fakes 36:20 Influencers And Authenticity 39:33 Church Social Media Dilemma 45:31 Comments Echo Chambers 50:22 Back To Real Connection 55:21 Impulse Control And Drafts 57:09 Easter Services Wrap Up &amp;nbsp; Divinely Uninspired https://www.journeyshepherdsville.com/divinely-uninspired <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40499200/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/199738845
