Digital Natives, Angry Comments, and Why the Church Is Tearing Itself Apart

About this sermon

When a retired cold case detective sits down with a teen podcaster to talk about social media, unity, and the future of the church, you know it’s going to get real. 🎙🔥 In this conversation, we look at why Jesus said our unity would be the evidence that convinces the world He is who He claimed to be—and why, instead, Christians are often known for infighting, factions, and angry comment threads. We’ll walk through: • Why unity is Jesus’ “strategy” for demonstrating that Christianity is true 🙏 • How our fallen nature pushes us toward disunity, self focus, and tribalism • How anonymity, screen names, and distance make it easier to attack people we don’t really know 💻 • What happens to a culture when toxic words online start turning into real world actions • Practical steps we can take to restore accountability, civility, and unity in a digital age If you’ve ever wondered why the online Christian world feels so hostile—and what you can actually do about it—this episode is for you. 💬❤️ 📚 Get my book: The Truth in True Crime Explore what real criminal investigations reveal about human nature, justice, and the truth about God: https://amzn.to/3YWUbHK 🌐 More resources at Cold Case Christianity Articles, videos, and tools to help you think clearly and make the case for Christianity: https://coldcasechristianity.com 🎧 Check out the teen host’s channel: Apologetics Talk Shorts Short form apologetics content from a Gen Z perspective: https://www.youtube.com/@CalebMcManusApologetics 👍 If this conversation helps you think differently about faith, social media, and unity, please LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on the notification bell so you don’t miss future content. 💬 Comment below: What’s one practical boundary you think Christians should adopt for how we speak online?
