“Filled with mediated reality from God we become eager in our celebration and shrewd in our discernment of intermediated art. For our online networks, we become filters—salt and light—, as an act of love in what we publish, share, and like…. instead, we live as Christians offering dialogical resistance, which means we filter the messages of the world through our individual discernment and then share online through a robust theology of reality, possibility, and meaning in God.
