You wake up on a Sunday morning, already tired. You scroll through your phone for a few minutes, check the weather, maybe peek at your inbox. You tell yourself you’ll read a devotional—but instead, you wander into the kitchen, start the coffee and re-open Instagram. Church starts in 30 minutes, but you’re not sure if you’re going.

You know the feeling. You’re just scrolling—maybe killing time, maybe looking for a laugh—and suddenly you’re deep in the comments section of a post that’s gone off the rails. Someone’s pushing a conspiracy theory, someone else is defending a leader you can’t stand, and before you know it, your heart rate is up and your faith feels a little more complicated than it did five minutes ago. If you’re exhausted, you’re not alone. Outrage is everywhere, and it’s contagious.
