"I think ultimately what God wants is to refine us in this homeschooling process. It's not like we're the ones that have it together and we're teaching these children to get it together. It's that we're all people that need refined, and we're all people that need to depend on the Lord. And it's just something we're all working through together." - Aby Rinella

“The online world has removed us from generational wisdom and relationships. It has become a place where anyone can learn anything, without any personal connection.” – Aby Rinella
Aby Rinella joins Yvette Hampton to talk about the impact of social media on real relationships and to give a Biblical picture of the original influencer.
Watch this full conversation on our YouTube channel.
“We ignore the women that have seen more years and hold more wisdom than we can imagine. Instead, we look to our peers for advice on the other side of the screen, who “influence” us based on a motive to grow a platform.” - Aby Rinella
Topics discussed in this three-part interview:
How social media influences moms (and their families)
Who the original influencers were, and what the Bible has to has about relationship, learning, and influence
What real community looks like and how to build it in your life
Hallmarks of real relationships
The truth about social media influencers
The homeschool moms can avoid the social media trap
Final encouragement for cultivating lasting relationships with impact.
