On Monday, we like to draw your attention to certain aspects of the Scottish Women’s Bible Convention. For the next few weeks, we’ll be telling you a bit more about the range of Seminars that are on offer.

Karen Clark and Kaete Wiese, from Edinburgh, will lead a seminar called ‘Rest in Jesus + Social Media = incompatible?’

What is the seminar about?

What does it look like to abide in the rest of Jesus, while being active on social media? For some of us, this won’t be a problem; for others, social media is a total minefield! God promises to keep us in perfect peace when our minds are stayed on Him, so how can we lean into that when we log on to our various platforms? In this seminar, we will explore some of the privileges and pitfalls of social media and think through how to navigate the territory without losing sight of who we are and whose we are.

Who is the seminar for?

Anyone and everyone! Whether you’re active on social media or not, we hope that some of the things we talk about in this seminar will be helpful in equipping you or others to continue to abide in Him even when on your phones!

Why is this area important?

One of the unique challenges for recent generations has been learning to navigate what it looks like to follow Jesus online as well as in person. Christ is King in all contexts and, for Christians today, it’s vital that we believe this and learn to remain in Him whatever the context!

Besides your seminar, what one thing about the Scottish Women’s Bible Convention are you looking forward to and why?

(Kaete speaking!) So many things! I’m looking forward to worshipping together with so many other women who love the Lord; I’m looking forward to hearing Caroline speak on such an important, timeless truth; and I’m looking forward to just having some time away from ‘normal’ life to gather and go deep! What a privilege!
