In this episode of the Faith Recovery Podcast, three former pastors take on the complex relationship between technology and faith. The discussion kicks off with a light-hearted chat about the gadgets we all love (and hate) and quickly dives into deeper waters. They explore how the freedom granted by the Gospel can help us use technology positively, rather than being enslaved by it. Ever felt like your phone is running your life?
You’re not alone, and this episode tackles that head-on. The hosts bring in some historical context, referencing figures like Ted Kaczynski and BF Skinner, to illustrate how technology can shape our behaviour and even our beliefs. They argue that while technology itself isn’t inherently bad, it’s crucial to use it in ways that align with the Gospel’s teachings of freedom and love.
One of the standout moments is when they discuss how social media can lead to greater inclusion and unconditional love if used wisely. The episode is sprinkled with humour and personal anecdotes, making it both engaging and thought-provoking. By the end, you’ll be questioning your own tech habits and considering how you can better align them with your faith. It’s a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their devices or looking to find a healthier balance.
So, are you ready to take control of your tech life and use it for good? Tune in and find out how.
