91. Why Is The Gospel Our Standard For Tech?

I often get asked “But why is it Gospel Tech?” Why not just something like ‘Healthy Tech’ or something that focuses on making good tech decisions?The answer is pretty simple: the Gospel is the only thing that gives us the power to make meaningful change. Yes, we could remove smartphones and that would provide a benefit. We could protect from pornography, and that would stave off some addictions and hurt. But at the end of the day we haven’t changed our character or the character of our children. At the end of the day, we still have hearts that yearn for purpose and we lack an object of our affections that can handle that kind of weight.That’s where the Gospel comes in. In today’s conversation we’ll talk through the three reasons the Gospel is so foundation to our conversations and practices with modern technology.
