Losing Yourself in the Scroll. Performing for People…Rather than Living for God

In this deeply honest and spiritually grounded episode of The Cynthia Garrett Podcast, Cynthia shares a timely word for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to perform online or in life. Drawing from personal experience and biblical truth, she explores the emotional and spiritual toll of seeking approval through likes, views, and followers—a trap she calls the "algorithm anointing."

With vulnerability and conviction, Cynthia reminds us that Jesus never let public opinion define His direction, and neither should we. Through practical insights and powerful encouragement, she offers five life-giving ways to resist the need for validation and reconnect with your true calling.

Whether you're in ministry, leadership, or simply trying to live out your faith in a noisy digital world, this episode is for you. If you've ever wrestled with discouragement, burnout, or questioning your worth based on feedback, Cynthia’s message will help you return to what matters most: faithfulness, not fame.

Key Takeaways:

Why your calling isn’t content—and your anointing isn’t in your analytics

The danger of confusing purpose with performance

How to detox from the data and plug back into God’s voice

The power of remembering "the one" you’re called to reach

Inviting feedback from the Holy Spirit instead of the crowd

Listen in and be reminded: You don’t have to dance for likes when you’re already deeply loved by God.

THE CYNTHIA GARRETT PODCAST navigates the crossroads of politics and culture, through the lens of the Christian faith. Join Cynthia Garrett to explore the essence of biblical truths, hear from everyday voices, and challenge your perspectives in a continuing dialogue that bridges the gap between faith and real life.
