I love Instagram.
I’m not a huge poster (I’m working to do better). But I love to scroll and get glimpses into people’s lives—and into who they are. What someone posts says a lot about a person.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. But maybe you’ll “click” with one of these people, too, and choose to follow them.
So without further adieu…
It’s our own Deb Raney! Deb’s posts are always colorful and warm, and are definitely eye candy material. I love how her personality really comes through in her home. And she adores changing things up! She’s always moving furniture and accent pieces. I’m betting that new kitchen faucet will be in the bathroom by the end of the week!
I got to know Rebekah last fall in a Bible study and let me tell you—she’s the real deal. She posts about her struggles, her family, her speaking (she speaks a TON!), and I really appreciate her sharing the wisdom she’s learned through suffering.
I’ve gotten a sign or two from their Etsy shop. I love how she shares her life and her faith—and her gorgeous home. Check out their signs on Etsy!
I love her farmhouse style, the coziness of how she decorates, and her ability to put “normal” things together that look terrific.
I love their scripture posts, Bible studies, and spiritual encouragement.
I mean really… It would just be wrong not to mention Chip and Jo when talking about Instagram, right? Who doesn’t love Magnolia?! Have you made your Magnolia sojourn yet?
I shared Albert Mohler’s podcast with y’all two weeks ago, but I want to include him in this list as well. His Instagram feed is informative, instructive, thoughtful, and frequently heartwarming.
Real. That’s what Beth’s Instagram is. What you see is what you get, babe. And it’s so refreshing. She shares about her faith, of course, and her life and family—and about wearing her sweater backwards.
I’m reading one of Priscilla’s Bible Studies right now (Armor of God, it’s so good!), and I appreciate the personal glimpses she gives about her speaking gigs, her family, and life as the “Sword Girl.”
If you love books (and I believe we do!) then this feed is for you. It’s all about great quotes, book recommendations, excerpts, and…book love!
Christine wrote Unexpected. Have you read it? I highly recommend it. Her Instagram feed is funny and warm, and her dedication to being authentic is both a little frightening and incredibly inspiring. : )
I love her music, her voice, her ministry—and the way Jesus shines through them all.
We needed another guy in this list, right? I regularly listen to Matt Chandler’s sermons (The Village Church in TX), which are excellent. His love for the Lord radiates when he preaches. And when he posts.
What can I say? Lisa Harper is . . . Lisa Harper! Hysterical, gracious, warm, loving, authentic, generous. Just like her Instagram feed. And she’s a fabulous mom!
The power of Instagram is pictures, of course. And Studio McGee has this down to an art. They’re interior designers, and I love drinking in their images and being inspired.
So what are a few of your favorite Instagram feeds? And how often do you check Instagram? Would you label yourself a Frequent Viewer, a Mildly Obsessive? a Somewhat Under Control? Or a Instagram-aholic?

Loved this post and found some new people to follow! I love Instagram too! I would have said I’m “mildly obsessive” but IG recently told me that my average daily time on IG is 10 minutes. Not too bad! Hey, I don’t think you put YOUR link on there anywhere! And I love following you on IG! https://www.instagram.com/tameraalexanderauthor/
Great idea for a post! I might have to “steal” it one of these days!
Good on finding some new follows, Deb. And, we’ve heard of great minds… I thought of adding a link to mine this morning. Duh. Quickly did it, only to come here to see you encouraging me to do just that. Apparently I need you to not only edit my first drafts, but my posts! ; ) And steal away, babe! I look forward to seeing some of your favorite follows.
One of my favorites to follow is campingwithdogs. Do I enjoy camping? no… Do I have a dog? no… And honestly, I don’t even know how I wound up finding them. LOL But the scenery is always breathtaking and the dogs are always so stinking cute!
And hence, the JOY of Instagram! Love this, Joy. And off to check them out!
I’m a fan of Instagram, too! Thanks for the suggestions — I’m now following several of these feeds. 🙂
Great! And happy release, Becky!
