Sadie Robertson Huff Says the Church Is the Solution to the World's Problems

Author and podcast host Sadie Robertson Huff is encouraging her fans to shine the light of Christ in the midst of a dark culture, emphasizing that the church holds the solution to the world’s problems. The host of the award-winning WHOA That’s Good Podcast and the author of Live Fearless and Who Are You Following? told Crosswalk Headlines that Christians are called to deliver hope to a broken world. 

“Jesus said to us that we are called to be the light of the world,” Huff told Crosswalk Headlines. “We’re called to be a city on a hill — not to dim our lights and hide under the sand, but actually shine them so that God gets the glory. 

“So I think it’s really tempting when the world gets darker to want to hide. But if you want the world to be brighter, you’re literally called to be a light. We are the solution as the church. Take on Jesus’ words.”

Huff is a two-time winner of the K-Love Fan Award for Podcast Impact and a major presence on social media with 5 million followers on Instagram and nearly 2 million on Facebook. But Huff also has been open about the pressures social media can bring with “cancel culture, the meanest comment being the most liked, [and] even the deals that come when the algorithm is going your direction,” as she wrote in a February post.

“You’re in control of your social media,” she told Crosswalk Headlines when asked what advice she gives fans about social media. “... You get to decide what you post; you decide what you look at. And so I think you have to take ownership and say, okay, I’m going to follow the people who are leading me to Christ, and I’m gonna post the things that lead others to Christ as well.”

Huff cites the words of Christ: “Cast your anxieties on Him.”

“And that is something that each of us are gonna have to do daily to receive that grace and that strength from God to get through,” she said. “But God is so good. And His presence in your life can truly get you through those hard times.”
