from Future of Church: Navigating Christianity in the Digital Age · host Christopher Lind and Joseph Streeter

In a world where screens dominate our landscapes and devices dictate our daily routines, have we crossed the line from users to worshippers in the church of technology? This week, we dive deep into the heart of our digital devotion, unpacking the subtle ways our gadgets have become gods and our apps, altars. Joe and I will tackle the pressing issue of technology's towering presence in our lives, questioning its sanctified spot on our metaphorical mantelpiece.

It's a conversation that challenges us to reflect on our tech-tethered existence and consider what we're truly seeking in our scroll through the digital divine. Join us as we confront the reality of our devotion and what it means to find balance in a world wired for worship.
