Viral Religion and Spiritual Busyness: When Doing Something Becomes Doing Nothing

IIn this episode, Tony Bruin exposes a subtle yet dangerous trap in modern Christianity—the illusion of spiritual busyness. Many believe that sharing memes, quoting verses out of context, or clicking “like” on social media posts equates to genuine faithfulness. But the Bible warns us against hollow actions that mask disobedience and emotional manipulation that distorts the gospel.

Tony breaks down how chasing feelings rather than truth leads to confusion, false assurance, and a faith that is all appearance with no substance. Drawing from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the teachings of Jesus, he calls Christians to return to obedience rooted in scripture—not emotional buzzwords or viral trends.

This episode challenges listeners to examine their hearts: Are you truly serving Christ, or simply performing spiritual theater? The call is clear—worship God in spirit and in truth, live by the Word, and follow the path of obedience, because anything less is wasted effort.

Key Takeaways:

The danger of mistaking busyness for faithfulness
How emotional manipulation on social media undermines true evangelism
Why assurance comes from obedience, not feelings
Encouragement that obedience is accessible to every believer
A sober call to live faithfully in a distracted world
