Episode 18 - Technology won't save you

Can technology really solve humanity’s deepest problems—or is it quietly shaping our worldview in dangerous ways? In this episode of the Circle Dwellers podcast, Matt and Tim Krell—Christian monks, programmers, and leaders in Life Mission Fellowship—explore the blessings and dangers of modern technology from a biblical perspective. Drawing on insights from Jonathan Pageau, reflections on media addiction, EMFs, and social media, they show how technology can both help and harm our physical, spiritual, and communal health. From Sabbath practices and Lenten fasts to simple habits like keeping phones off the dinner table, the Krell brothers share practical ways to resist Silicon Valley’s worldview and reclaim technology as a tool rather than a master. If you’re a Christian pastor, leader, or believer who senses that smartphones and social media are shaping you more than Scripture and community, this conversation will give you both vision and practical steps to live more intentionally.
