7.16 RECALIBRATE (wk2) Smartphones & Social Media Triage - a podcast by George Stull

Let's talk about our phones and the 2nd book of the Bible and a story that's thousands of years old and how they're related. Is your phone the first thing you reach for in the morning and the last thing you touch before bed? Do you frequently pick it up "just to check it?” Today, just over a decade since smartphones entered our lives, we're beginning to suspect that their impact on our lives might not be entirely good.

The Social Dilemma

SLIDE GEORGE READ IN GATHERING

"Instead of turning to our devices, we can lift our eyes to see where we are, who we are in proximity with, and we can begin to wonder at being wholly present and prayerfully open to the unexpected. May something so small as lifting our eyes up from our devices be our first act of faith, trusting that our human presence has been ordained, in any given moment and place, to be meaningfully purposed as the hands and feet of God's profound love for humanity and all of creation." 

-Felicia Wu Song, Restless Devices
