Been off Facebook for 4yrs during the January prayer. Never went back. This year's Jan prayer, I said less of WhatsApp., no viewing and no posting. Finished prayer and can't even bring myself to view. And yep, don't have tiktok, don't even know how it's works and I'm cool with it. I don't feel like I'm losing anything
Lebo,i agree with you,for me,am trying to discipline myself,no email,no linked in before 12 and sometime,no WhatsApp before daily devotion. Satan came to steal,kill and destroy
I once deleted all my apps except WhatsApp and I felt liberated, now I have Facebook again and yhoo it has me by my neck but I’m gonna work on this addiction. I hate how social media decreases our attention span.
You guys don’t paint a fairytale picture of marriage but all I see is the beauty of God’s grace when to people work together to grow in union and companionship. I love it, thank you and glory to God 🙌🏾
This is such a confirmation for me❤️❤️ as a stay at home mom I find that my job is more stressful and overwhelming when I spend time scrolling online. My chores take longer and even the exhaustion is much more than it should. It's a fight I'm really trusting God to overcome
🤣 🤣 Talking about social media my IG closed me out for some reason I couldn't log back in I was like cool 😎 I even uninstalled it I'm on a break I wish I could be for a year or more.. We are sinning that side envying others consciously and unconsciously something the word advices us against
I’ve always been anti-social media and every time I’d try be on it I’d almost instantly realize myself change, be irritable, anxious and sick. I’ve also realized how screen time also affects kids.
OMG I'm only on 10min of this installment and already share the same sentiments as you Aus'P...I remember after Varsity I stayed at home for some time all I ever did was watch TV...cook and be on social media. I used to compare my life with sooo many of my peers and I felt STUCK like I'm not moving in life. I then randomly woke up and said nope, no more social media for me. I didn't know for how long I was going to go without it but long story short I did it for a good 4-5months. That period alone, I felt so WHOLE in a sense that I reverted back to God, I immersed myself with books( financial and spiritual) I've never felt so "clean and free" and liberated. I felt sooo empowered and that state of just being one with God and learning to trust and believe him is so fulfilling. So indeed taking those breaks from socials is IMPORTANT...some might have different "coping" mechanisms and some would say nooo just manage it like this or like that. NO! We all different like Abhuti Lerato said. I encourage people to try it and then let's have a conversation💯✝️❤
Good Day The Makhs. Thank you for all the awesome installments. I honestly agree with Phetola, I've been off IG, Twitter and FB for now a good 3 years and I do not see myself back there anytime soon. Everytime I posted I was so doubtful,anxious and felt like I had a low self esteem. I then had to go back and ask myself, why am I posting, what does it do for me. I am more intentional in how I spend my time.
Thank you guys for sharing. I can relate so much to this and staying away from social media has helped appreciate the progress in my life instead of doing a comparison to those I follow.
Yho Mrs Makhs my prayer for you right now is that you STAY on that phase, the phase of gratitude and contentment.. I cannot begin to imagine what it took for you to actually realize your flaws and taking action towards changing them.what you went through is one of the darkest places a person could ever find themselves in. I'm drowning in depression because of my social media obsession. Please handle yourself with care if it means quitting for GOOD than so be it... Your sanity is far more important Keep well family, you guys are amazing.
I’m currently on a social media detox, I’ve never felt this lite and calm in a long time and being more present at home with the hubs and my daughter, definitely enjoying this phase 😊.
Social media can be great,, but also toxic. I've deleted twitter and Instagram because I felt like it was robbing me of my peace. It's when I don't know what other people are up to that I'm at peace with myself. It didn't make sense to me to know what someone had for breakfast before I started my day. There are times when I miss it when I don't know what to do with myself.
This conversation came at the absolute best time because I can totally relate especially to the anxiety. Being off social media definitely does allow me to see things and experience things so differently. Thank you for having this conversation 🙌🏽
I’ve been off social media from December and I thought to myself I’d come back today but guess want I’m so content with my life right now, I’m so productive and my relationship with God is even better that I even went back to church ( since 2020)🙈. Phetelo will always be ngwana kasi (sosha) 😂😂😂 spitori ke lingo yahao . Le English kya spitori😂😂😂 I Love you mam
This is soo true! social media can really make you not to appreciate what you were once excited and proud of,a blessing God gave you. Thanks for sharing guys 💛
Bathong dream team, here we "like, comment and share", also... ra subscriber bathong. We Dont just watch. Hit that bell and never miss out on an episode.
Shuuu do not let social media dictate who you are, love it🙌 so many nuggets taken from this. We need to understand that there are processes in our lives before we get the promises and social media makes us to rush the process of God in our lives.
Yhooo social media neh . I think it has us by hands I stopped Instagram and Facebook for 2 years now . This thing affects us mentally and it wastes so much of our time shame . Anywho I feel this is a call for many to take a break Reconnect with self with nature with God with family So ❤❤ Thank you Makhs 😊
This one is a confirmation for me...! I am a social media person but I need to learn to manage it. I would be scrolling information then easily get distracted by The Makhs 🔔 notification when it wasn't really my time to be on youtube for leisure 😂. Then I stop doing whatever I am supposed to. After the Makhs ke a whole lot of people I follow gosh...I am so guilty. After the time wasted I feel so bad cos I can't regain the time. I love the systems approach, I know I can do better for myself, i will do better. Best wishes with this Phetola. I hope you don't get too overwhelmed by this since you mentioned you need socials as it's part of your bread. May God amplify you on this!
I bumped into this on Instagram even though I follow you guys and wanted to listen to it after being off Instagram for over a week ( which was quite long for me) and I'm grateful as a child of God, born again n spirit led for thus particular content because I couldn't differentiate between pressure and being inspired... Thank you🙏🙏
Ohhhh Mr Makhs that scripture, that explanation, you just changed my life. Thank you for this one 💗 weird enough my friend and i were having a similar conversation just before i watched this...
I have learned alot from this i can relate. Your wife is very wise. Accountability is the key. I struggle with the same problem i made a decision to not follow certain people i feel my lifestyle was changing. Thank you. Mature and Christian family i appreciate
And those pearls af wisdom dropped by Mr Makhs about delighting ourselves in the Lord? Omg that landed at the core of my heart. Listen Man, you guys are annointed and the world was never ready for yall, never!!!
Oh Stephanie Ike is the BEST!! Thank you so much for this discussion, speaks directly to my decision to go off social media as well, I literally have created a ghost page where I follow people and pages that speak to the things I need to work on and that which I have interest in like spiritual, motivational, fitness, mental health. It is soo soothing to not only have this page but have no one DMing me or sharing memes with me
It's so cool actually watching something that makes u look for the like button! Love your conversations. I do my chores listening to u so please keep it coming ❤️
I watched this installment some time ago and I loved it. But I just continued with my social media use. I didn’t realize the depth to which it was affecting me. Mara recently I have realised that. I complain more and am generally just ungrateful. and now I’m coming back to this installment again before I finally get off SM, something I should have done much earlier. Thank you Mr & Mrs Makhs for this installment and the work that you do altogether- you’re impacting lives. Much love from Botswana 🇧🇼
Hallo, YOU TEACH -- OF COURSE YOU TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW --- of course you teach, you teach what you know --- THE BEST THING there is....--- mmmhhhh, that was great teachings...................
Eeeei social media honestly...I'm so glad that I've been off Facebook for 10years, off Twitter for 3 years and eeei my biggest struggle Instagram but have been off it for 1 month by God’s grace
I could relate with you gal the pressure that i didn't appreciate anything i have a very loving husband but didn't appreciate that since I deactivated my social media am really at peace i pray more i laugh am happy no longer depressed anymore
Let's not put ourselves under so much pressure. Isaiah 60:22 (b) At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen. Social media can make a person feel like her life is not progressing. One thing I learned is that ppl will always post the best things that happened to them, but it doesn't mean all things go well every day. They just don't post it on social media.
Wow, this is very profound and one can easily miss it. Thank you for highlighting the importance of fasting social media for, I think, your mental health's sake...WOW, thank you guys, beautiful!!❤
That's not just your perceptive but revelation @ Lerato..When you delight in the Lord, you eyes are open to God's reality for your life, and begin to want what he wants for you life.. powerful
I also decided January that I am leaving Facebook. I would scroll for almost hours without noticing then when I have to do something I am tired. Too much of everything is a problem 😢
Since I get off social media, I've lost appetite for it. It's easy to inherit someone's ideas, systems, habits and we forget who we are. I got same conviction in December. Thank you guys for sharing your wonderful insights.🤍
Wow! Thank you so much for this. I tried social media fast, I think 2years ago, and failed dismally. I will try it again this year. Im so inspired by this installment 🙏 ❤️ Also 2 very important pointers I took away. Difference between motivation and pressure. To be careful not to eat the seed. Danko 🙌🏽
Yhuuuuuu Nkosi yam🙌🏽🔥😭I can definitely relate to so much that you guys have spoken about, you've mentioned quiet important things, I'm definitely happy for this lesson, I'm super greatful. May God continue to bless you with wisdom and use you for His Kingdom. Keya leboga Bana ba ko gae🙌🏽
This was so me last so happy i decided to log off for some time went back last week but honestly i thnk im gonna go off again it is such a breath of fresh air being away from social media when it becomes toxic for you❤
You guys are such an inspiration hle bathong ,i like how both of you are so real ,i can actually relate to most parts of what was said in the installment.
I’ve been off WhatsApp and Instagram since end of November. I wanna download the apps again but my anxiety 🥺😅🤦🏽♀️ especially over WhatsApp I don’t know why😩

i pray for this too.
Soc is toxic

My husband also hates it when I complain

Love love Lerato’s intepretation of the “delight yourself in The Lord…” scripture ❤ spot on
This is such a confirmation for me❤️❤️ as a stay at home mom I find that my job is more stressful and overwhelming when I spend time scrolling online. My chores take longer and even the exhaustion is much more than it should.
It's a fight I'm really trusting God to overcome

I got off social media months ago. It's the best decision I have ever made❤️
I’ve always been anti-social media and every time I’d try be on it I’d almost instantly realize myself change, be irritable, anxious and sick. I’ve also realized how screen time also affects kids.

Thank you Mr Makhs for that perspective on delighting ourselves in the Lord! It's powerful.
That was powerful indeed 💣
the voice that should influence what you want should be God's....Lerato I felt you when you said that dude😇
I’ve been off social media from December and I thought to myself I’d come back today but guess want I’m so content with my life right now, I’m so productive and my relationship with God is even better that I even went back to church ( since 2020)🙈.
Phetelo will always be ngwana kasi (sosha) 😂😂😂 spitori ke lingo yahao . Le English kya spitori😂😂😂 I Love you mam
To the core 😁
This is soo true! social media can really make you not to appreciate what you were once excited and proud of,a blessing God gave you. Thanks for sharing guys 💛
I love this conversation so much 🥺🙌🏾 gratitude, reflection, peace, stillness and prayer 🙏🏾

"The life that we have is God led..." loved that❤️
The Makhs my favorite 🤗 😍Eish social media can be a trap hey.It can be so exhausting in many ways yhoo
Yhooo social media neh .
I think it has us by hands
I stopped Instagram and Facebook for 2 years now .
This thing affects us mentally and it wastes so much of our time shame .
Anywho I feel this is a call for many to take a break
Reconnect with self with nature with God with family
So ❤❤
Thank you Makhs 😊
I love Lerato's perspective on delighting in the Lord and getting the desires of our hearts
Wow What a perspective Mr Maketha about delighting myself in the Lord, i hear you sir. Spend more time with God! ❤
This one is a confirmation for me...!
I am a social media person but I need to learn to manage it. I would be scrolling information then easily get distracted by The Makhs 🔔 notification when it wasn't really my time to be on youtube for leisure 😂. Then I stop doing whatever I am supposed to. After the Makhs ke a whole lot of people I follow gosh...I am so guilty. After the time wasted I feel so bad cos I can't regain the time.

I needed this so much and also can we recognize Moruti Lerato's wisdom. Thank you family
I bumped into this on Instagram even though I follow you guys and wanted to listen to it after being off Instagram for over a week ( which was quite long for me) and I'm grateful as a child of God, born again n spirit led for thus particular content because I couldn't differentiate between pressure and being inspired... Thank you🙏🙏
Ohhhh Mr Makhs that scripture, that explanation, you just changed my life.
Thank you for this one 💗 weird enough my friend and i were having a similar conversation just before i watched this...
♥️♥️♥️♥️
This 22-year old loves you guys 🥺❤️ The honesty in your reflections is incredible 💯
Thank you Phetola for this. I felt the same recently.
You are so welcome♥️
I have learned alot from this i can relate. Your wife is very wise. Accountability is the key. I struggle with the same problem i made a decision to not follow certain people i feel my lifestyle was changing. Thank you. Mature and Christian family i appreciate
First one here...yassssssss hello boys and girls
And those pearls af wisdom dropped by Mr Makhs about delighting ourselves in the Lord? Omg that landed at the core of my heart. Listen Man, you guys are annointed and the world was never ready for yall, never!!!
Oh Stephanie Ike is the BEST!! Thank you so much for this discussion, speaks directly to my decision to go off social media as well, I literally have created a ghost page where I follow people and pages that speak to the things I need to work on and that which I have interest in like spiritual, motivational, fitness, mental health. It is soo soothing to not only have this page but have no one DMing me or sharing memes with me
Thank you so much for this conversation, it is relatable to what i am going through right now. But with God, i will overcome.
It's so cool actually watching something that makes u look for the like button!
Love your conversations. I do my chores listening to u so please keep it coming ❤️
Really powerful installment 🔥🔥🔥
I watched this installment some time ago and I loved it. But I just continued with my social media use. I didn’t realize the depth to which it was affecting me. Mara recently I have realised that.

Hallo, YOU TEACH -- OF COURSE YOU TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW --- of course you teach, you teach what you know --- THE BEST THING there is....--- mmmhhhh, that was great teachings...................
Love this family so much❤️😍such an inspiration.
Eeeei social media honestly...I'm so glad that I've been off Facebook for 10years, off Twitter for 3 years and eeei my biggest struggle Instagram but have been off it for 1 month by God’s grace
This is the 1st installment I'm watching this year but hey the Makhs you guys has made my day....this was mouthful
Oh wow with you i just love the honesty dream team,thank you so much family i love you so much 💝💝
Welcome back beautiful people.
Oh yeah Stephanie Ike is awesome love to much. Great video
Ausi Phetola those braids Sis😍you look so beautiful 🔥.
I could relate with you gal the pressure that i didn't appreciate anything i have a very loving husband but didn't appreciate that since I deactivated my social media am really at peace i pray more i laugh am happy no longer depressed anymore
Love love abuti Lerato take on the scripture delight yourself in the Lord, something to introspect
I've been having the same conviction. When does inspiration become coveting? And where do we draw the line to check our hearts.
Stephanie Ike , Sarah Jakes , those are my people.
Today I was watching Stephanie Ike preaching about Walk Worthy .
Let's not put ourselves under so much pressure. Isaiah 60:22 (b) At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen. Social media can make a person feel like her life is not progressing. One thing I learned is that ppl will always post the best things that happened to them, but it doesn't mean all things go well every day. They just don't post it on social media.
My fav installment ever🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the content.
Wow, this is very profound and one can easily miss it. Thank you for highlighting the importance of fasting social media for, I think, your mental health's sake...WOW, thank you guys, beautiful!!❤
Absolutely enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing your journey and being honest about it.
That's not just your perceptive but revelation @ Lerato..When you delight in the Lord, you eyes are open to God's reality for your life, and begin to

Haha its a very British thing to do complaining. Thanks for sharing Makhs. Your content always I repeat always enriches me. God bless you 😊
I also decided January that I am leaving Facebook. I would scroll for almost hours without noticing then when I have to do something I am tired. Too much of everything is a problem 😢
Since I get off social media, I've lost appetite for it. It's easy to inherit someone's ideas, systems, habits and we forget who we are.
I got same conviction in December.
