Relational Repairs - Part 6: "Alone Together"

About this episode

This episode explores how constant connection to screens impacts face-to-face relationships and the need for 'Relational Repair'.

How is our constant connection to screens shaping the quality of our face-to-face relationships… our “assignment” to authentically love one another? We spend hours a day on phones and devices, yet feel increasingly disconnected—are we trading presence for convenience, interruptions for attention, and real listening for curated content? What happens to compassion, relational depth, and even friendship-making when our eyes and minds are elsewhere? While historically speaking this may be a relatively NEW topic, I suspect it’s one that’s affecting us all on some level. I think we’d all agree that technology is affecting our ability to truly be with one another. Are you in need of a little ”Relational Repair”?
