7. Technology is not neutral — it's forming us. | John Ortberg & Jay Kim
from Become New with John Ortberg · host Become New
Jay shares his personal experience, as well as his pastoral perspective, on the mental, emotional, and spiritual costs of being chronically online. The issue is not the existence of technology, but how subtly and deeply it forms us into distracted, image-obsessed and ultimately hopeless people. The point of the conversation is to remind us that our digital tools are using us often more than we are using them. Our attention is being bought and sold, and the cost is our contentment, resilience, and joy.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.📲 For daily alerts, text the word BECOME to the number 855-888-0444Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/John's new book STEPS is out!
