We’re bored and addicted to our phones. Buying a dumbphone or reducing screen time isn’t enough. What if the problem is deeper?
Less than 20 years after the birth of the iPhone, screens have become the dominant presence in modern life. We work, plan, socialise, read, and entertain ourselves through them. Barely a minute goes by without a pick-up.
And yet, we’re increasingly aware that too much screen time is harmful. Heightened anxiety from constant doomscrolling. Brain-rot from too much YouTube. Insecurity from perpetual comparison. We’re bored and addicted to our phones.
We feel like something is wrong. But buying a dumbphone or reducing screen time isn’t enough. What if the problem is deeper? Do we need to understand the roots of our habits?
Behind our restless scrolling is a longing for deep connection. Underneath our influencer-obsession is a search for wisdom. We don’t have a way of dealing with pain, so we distract ourselves with hours of mindless entertainment. What if there’s a better way?
How do we reimagine what it means to be human in the digital age? Join our speaker, Jeremy Moses, as he explores the roots of our screen habits, and considers how the ancient truths of the Christian faith give us a better vision of human flourishing.
