Fatal Error | GLITCH | Menlo Midweek Podcast

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, hosts Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick off our brand-new series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World," with an episode titled "Fatal Error." Living in the Bay Area, we are surrounded by a culture that demands constant optimization—from our schedules to our sleep to our diets. Yet, despite having all the right "life hacks," anxiety is at an all-time high. Why? Because we are trying to run an infinite soul on a finite operating system, and we are crashing. This episode is an invitation to stop debugging your life and start actually living it. 📍 In This Episode: The "Fatal Error": We discuss the exhaustion that comes from trying to operate like machines and why our souls are breaking under the pressure of constant performance. Bay Area Burnout: A candid look at our local obsession with optimization and why you cannot fix a spiritual problem with a productivity tool. Tending vs. Fixing: Exploring the profound truth that you are not a machine to be fixed; you are a soul to be tended. A Rebellious Act: We talk about the radical, rebellious act of unplugging from the matrix of expectation to recover the breath of God. 💬 Discussion Question: Think about your current routines. Where in your life are you currently treating yourself like a machine to be "fixed" or "optimized," rather than a soul to be tended? #MenloChurch #GlitchSeries #FatalError #MentalHealth #BayArea #Unplug #SoulCare #MenloMidweek Next Steps Looking to take your faith journey deeper?
