I tend to not use that term, because I feel like it's kind of gotten overblown in our society and become something that lost its meaning.
Ever scrolled through social media and felt a pang of envy at all those #Blessed posts? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', Steph and Beth dive into the world of hashtags and blessings. They tackle the popular use of #Blessed, examining its intentions and the tricky implications it can have. Are those who aren't #Blessed somehow #Cursed? And what's up with saying 'God Bless America' or 'God bless you' after a sneeze?
Steph admits she doesn't say a word when someone sneezes, sparking a fun yet deep conversation about the words we choose and why they matter. Steph and Beth also delve into the theology behind blessings and the risk of trivializing divine names. They share personal stories about their own blessings and offer fresh ways to show gratitude without resorting to that overused hashtag.
The duo explores how social media shapes our views on blessings and stresses the importance of being mindful with our language. This episode is packed with humor, honesty, and thought-provoking questions that encourage listeners to rethink what it means to be truly blessed. Whether you're a hashtag enthusiast or a skeptic, you'll find something to ponder in this engaging chat.
