Episode notes
Tech vs. Spiritual Meaning
- Technology is deeply embedded in our lives, affecting communication, work, and worship.
- True hope and meaning come from our relationship with God, not technology itself.
Spirit vs. Computers
- Spirit is disembodied personal power, unlike technology which is physical and impersonal.
- Persons have mind, will, and agency, which computers lack; thus, computers are not spiritual.
Manage Technology Habits
- Evaluate how technology affects your habits especially through addictive digital stimuli.
- Be intentional about managing screen time and not becoming Pavlov's dog to phone notifications.
