This week on The Aro Podcast, Aro Co-Founder Joey is joined by Darren Whitehead, the founder of Church of the City and author of The Digital Fast. Originally from Australia, Darren has spent over 25 years in the United States and brings a unique perspective to the impact of technology on our lives. In this episode, Darren and Joey explore the impact of smartphones on our lives, from the evolution of these devices to the effects of carrying them 24/7. The duo discusses the surprisingly positive response from teenagers who have participated in Darren's digital fast and the importance of giving yourself grace as a parent navigating technology. They explore the shift from play-based to phone-based childhoods, and Darren outlines his four-stage digital fast, drawing parallels between phone use and habits like smoking or eating fast food. You don't want to miss Darren's insights on reclaiming control over technology and fostering a more intentional family life.
