Five Reasons You Should Do a Social Media Fast

Ever consider fasting? Not from food, but from your favorite social media platforms?

Columbia International University associate professor of clinical mental health counseling, Dr. Seth Scott writes that the emphasis for fasting from food is not necessarily because food is inherently harmful or bad, but because we want to ensure that we are intentional in our practice to do all for the glory of God and cast off anything and everything that prevents or distracts us from achieving our prize of likeness to Christ Jesus. The same is true for social media. 

Scott challenges us to evaluate each behavior or opportunity against whether it is helpful or enslaves, including social media.
