Maya breaks down how parasocial relationships, heresy hunting, platform culture, and performance-based faith are distorting the gospel. With nuance and grace, we explore what it means to return to ordinary faithfulness, real intimacy with God, and a church rooted in proximity \u2014 not personality. Let\u2019s talk clout, consumerism, and the quiet danger of loving the platform more than the presence. Our culture is constantly changing around us. A new story, new song, or new idea is being tweeted, posted or published every other minute. As the world changes rapidly around us, how do we respond? How do we stay rooted in our faith amidst a myriad of conversations? How do we stay grounded in truth when so much in the media is manipulated? How do we talk about our beliefs in a culture that may not feel the same way?&amp;nbsp; Conversations about faith and culture meet right here on Teaology, the podcast. Teaology is all about communities coming together through conversation. We find common ground when we communicate well.
