The Temptation to Retreat or Receive

In this episode, the speaker explores the two common responses Christians have towards technology: retreat or receive. Some Christians choose to retreat from technology, creating protesting communities that prefer the old ways of doing things. While this approach is legitimate, it is not practical for everyone. On the other hand, many Christians simply receive and adopt the ways of the modern world without reservation, resulting in a lack of discernible difference between Christians and the rest of society. The speaker argues for a third way: redemption. Christians can redeem technology by using it well and being noticeably different from the world, being salt and light. This involves holding the balance of being in the world but not of the world.
