About this episode

Shannon McCoy and Ernie Bowman discuss the deeper heart issues behind digital habits and their impact on worship and identity.

In this episode, Shannon McCoy sits down with Ernie Bowman to talk about the deeper heart issues behind our scrolling habits. Rather than treating screen time as a simple productivity problem, Ernie challenges us to see it for what it often is: a matter of worship, desire, and identity. Together, they explore how social media shapes our affections, fuels comparison, and distracts us from the life God has called us to live. This conversation offers both biblical clarity and practical help for anyone who feels stuck in the cycle of endless scrolling—and points us to the lasting hope found in Christ.
