Secrets to Self-Control with Drew Dyck & How to Reclaim Your Time from Technology

About this episode

The episode discusses self-control as a fruit of the Spirit and how to manage technology usage.

Today on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “I Can’t Change Because…,” by examining the excuses we make and how God calls us beyond them. Drew Dyck joined us to explain how self-control isn’t something we force on our own but a fruit of the Spirit, and how small, intentional habits and a God-centered vision help us grow in lasting change. Drew Dyck is an acquisitions editor at Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He is a former managing editor of Leadership Journal and the author of several books, including Your Future Self Will Thank You . We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We asked the question, “What has God shown you that has helped you get some victory over your phone or technology usage?" You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
