When "Christian" Influencers Post Thirst Traps: How to Protect Your Purity
If your explore page is a contest for assets, it’s time to change the rules.
Welcome back to Living Purified. Today, we are getting honest about a struggle that almost everyone in this community faces: The Social Media Comparison Trap. We live in a digital age where social media has become a contest for who has the best "assets"—and I’m not just talking about money. I’m talking about the hyper-sexualization of the body and the flaunting of possessions.
The hardest part? Even within the "Christian" influencer space, we see "thirst traps" and content designed to trigger lust rather than lead to Christ. How do we navigate this without losing our peace or our purity?
In this video, we breakdown:
The "Asset" Contest: Why we’ve started viewing our bodies and lives as things to be consumed rather than gifts to be stewarded.
Colossians 3:2 Strategy: How to practically "set your mind on things above" when your thumb wants to scroll through things below.
The Romans 12:2 Filter: Breaking the habit of conforming to the world’s standard of beauty and "influence."
The False Connection: Why relying too much on Instagram for community actually leaves us feeling more isolated and triggered.
Digital Mindfulness: Practical steps to audit your following list and reclaim your time from the site.
Your eye-gate is the entrance to your heart. If you want to live purified, you have to be mindful of what you allow to enter through your screen. It’s time to stop scrolling and start seeking.
