Episode notes

i think of mammon as a kind of demonic power that attaches itself to money. Technology is good for production, consumption, but it's not good for formation and creation. There are certain ways in which technology can amplify the results of who you become if you're in a world that's all production and consumption. But where we do both those very efficiently does us get formed? And this is what our homes have become like.

How is it possible that the people who have harnessed technological progress to become the wealthiest nation in history are still so remarkably unhappy? Is it possible that we have asked technology to do too much? Is it perhaps impacting our ability to be fully formed humans? Join this fascinating conversation with David, Curtis, and Curtis’ old roommate Andy Crouch, who guides us in thinking about our relationship with technology and how to be more human.
