True North: Spiritual Sensitivity in the Age of Screens

from Closer Than You Think · host Max Gilbert

You already know screens are bad for you. So why hasn't that changed anything? This week I argue that avoiding the bad doesn't sustain transformation; you need a vivid sense of what you're building towards. The Torah calls it holiness: a spiritual sensitivity, a felt aliveness to your own soul and to God's presence in the ordinary. Screens deaden that sensitivity. I share what we do in my house to protect it, why I'm unapologetically extreme about it, and why the answer to "how much is too much" can only come from your own inner compass.
