Find your faith level is dropping without onsite church services? We share with you some Instagram accounts to follow that will inject faith in you every day. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God…and sometimes, also by reading encouraging posts.
FOMO, addiction, insecurity, narcissism—we have heard all these words used to describe social media. But not everything on Instagram is bad—now, let us share with you the good stuff.
We asked our friends what inspiring Christian accounts they follow on Instagram and which ones boost their faith with every post. Among the many gems our pool of friends have shared, we present to you the ones we like best.
Trash Your Bible
https://www.instagram.com/trashyourbible/
What an outrageous title, you might be thinking. You should be treating the sacred text with respect! Well, what they are encouraging here is for us to wear out our Bibles by reading it so often and thoroughly.
Who are they?
Encountering God through His Word is such a significant aspect of our spiritual walk. You could be a seasoned reader or only getting started. TYB guides you through Bible programs.
What do they post?
TYB might be all things Bible, and they don’t only post bible quotes all day. What we love about TYB is how they post about different aspects of God and His promises.
LightWorkers
https://www.instagram.com/lightworkers/
There is beauty in this world, and this is where you can find it. LightWorkers celebrates the good all around us. If you find your day brightened, they have done their mission.
Who are they?
They aim to build a community of celebrating and sharing positivity.
What do they post?
You do not always need to talk about Christ to build positivity. You will find celebrations of the simple things in life. Or this perfect combination a baby with hands lifted as his mom worships.

Desiring God
https://www.instagram.com/desiringgod/
Christian hedonism is a term we do not encounter often. To put it simply, it is finding happiness in God’s glory. Hedonism, in itself, is about seeking pleasure, and @desiringgod puts it from a Christian perspective.
Who are they?
Desiring God is the title of a book written by John Piper, and later used this name for his ministry. The ministry is on a mission to help people find joy in pursuing God.
What do they post?
John Piper’s style is not your lovey-dovey pastoral vibe. The quotes you find in @desiringgod’s posts can be straightforward. At times, we’d even say rebuking.
But that is what makes it so different and why we follow this in our feed.
Heartbeat Project
https://www.instagram.com/heartbeatproject.sg/
Posts from this @heartbeatproject.sg give us goosebumps all the time. Goosebumps you get from hearing uplifting stories. Every story they share is for building a culture that chooses life.
Who are they?
Standing for life can be more complicated than you imagine. People in harsh or unexpected circumstances face difficult choices. The Heartbeat Project gives voice to those who might have been unborn.
What do they post?
One post series they have been sharing follows the fostering journey of a family. Each new post gives us fresh goosebumps.
Moral Revolution
https://www.instagram.com/moralrevolution/
Counterculture is the keyword here. Pastor Kong Hee shared with us this term back then. And this account shows what counterculture is.
Who are they?
Moral Revolution, a non-profit organization founded by Kris Vallotton, dreams of a generation living their healthiest life. They want to equip Christians—especially young people—in their views towards sexuality and morality.
What do they post?
They post inspiring prompts in your thought life. Statements you can act on to build your better self.
