About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of technology on attention and spirituality, exploring how constant distraction shapes our worldview.
Most of us don’t have a time problem. We have an attention problem. In Part One of this conversation, we begin unpacking the unseen formation happening every time we reach for our phones. We scroll when we’re bored. We scroll when we’re stressed. We scroll when we don’t want to think. But what is that doing to us? In this episode, we talk about: • Why attention is your most valuable resource • How algorithms quietly shape your worldview • The spiritual cost of constant distraction • Why comparison erodes confidence • What happens when we eliminate silence Your phone isn’t evil. But it is powerful. And whether you realize it or not, it’s shaping you. Part Two drops next week.
