Today’s episode with Drew Dyck encapsulates why we started this show. Heather had never met Drew in person, but his writing and Twitter impacted her real life. It is incredible how our online presence can bring about real-life friendships and foster spiritual growth.
Heather and Drew discuss Drew’s latest book, Just Show Up. Drew wants to remind you that God isn’t expecting you to do everything or to change overnight. The gospel is an invitation to just show up and engage with people and our own lives, right where we are.
Heather also breaks down the latest Instagram algorithm update and explains why bait engagement is different from calls to action.
