Tim Challies has been blogging on the Internet since the Internet first started. His blog, challies.com, was an early pioneer in Christian content online. Tim joins me on The Way Home podcast to discuss the way Christians should engage online and on social media, as well as the good and bad ways we approach the word “discernment.”

Featured Resource: My new book, A Way With Words, focuses on how Christians can use their online conversations for good. In the book, I lay out an approach that applies biblical wisdom to our engagement with social media, an approach that neither retreats from modern technology nor ignores the harmful ways in which Christians often engage publicly. A Way With Words comes out in less than two weeks, but you can pre-order now here.
