Where do you find your value? When social media presents you with a picture of life that seems perfect when your own life seems to fall short, how do you keep the truth of the Gospel as your anchor? And how do we, as mothers and grandmothers, equip our children in the faith? Today, Kristen Hatton joins Karen Hodge to discuss the importance of thinking biblically and reading in between the lines, Facetime–Your Identity in Christ in a Selfie World.

If you’ve ever wondered if constant exposure to social media is having an effect on teenage girls, the answer is yes. While we can’t be sure of the depth of the impact, we do know that it contributes to feelings of low self-worth, the desire for approval, and perfectionism. These, in turn, can lead to other self-harming behaviors.
After realizing that her daughter had an eating disorder, Kristen Hatton decided to investigate what lay beneath the surface of her own child’s issue, and along the way discovered that the feelings her teen was battling was a common experience for many teen girls.
We discuss how story can lead to better conversations about important topics in the home, how enabling differs from helping, and why it’s important to create a culture where it is OK to fail. Don’t miss this important episode!

Jennie Allen is a Bible teacher and the author of Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard.” Jennie shares how her need for approval from others led to emptiness, and how she found fulfillment in the affirming words of Christ. Kristen Hatton is a Bible teacher, author and mom whose latest book is called “Face Time: Your Identity in a Selfie World.” Through teaching a Bible study to teen girls, Kristen began to see a destructive pattern of comparison; a standard of trying to live up to an unrealistic ideal of perfection. Kristen’s desire, through her book, is to help young women see their identity in Christ, to live for Him, and to let go of trying to be something they’re not.

Hi friends! I’m so excited to welcome you to this episode of Heart Lessons with my special guest, Kristen Hatton. Kristen recently released a book entitled, Face Time: Your Identity in a Selfie World. It is a devotional book for teenage girls aimed at helping them realize they don’t need to look to social media for security and affirmation because Christ already loves and accepts them, just as they are. We chat about her book and many of the life-giving concepts found there, she answers some of your listener questions, and we also hit on how this topic is relevant for young moms and laying the foundation now for your kids later. And of course, Kristen shares her heart lesson with us as she continues to dig deeper into this topic of true identity in Christ.
This episode is so good for anyone with a teenage daughter, anyone who mentors teen girls, anyone who will one day have a teenage daughter, but it is also really great for women in general and moms of teenage boys. There is a little something for everyone in this episode. I know you will find some great takeaways from my conversation with Kristen.
Heart Lesson: Keep a solid identity and satisfaction with Christ, especially with life changes.
