21 | When Digital Distraction Erodes Your Identity And Steals Your Name


Listen Later

Ever felt like you're reacting to your life more than living it?

Like the swirl of input is naming you faster than God's truth can remind you who you really are?

I was standing in my kitchen, juggling a blinking to-do list and a phone full of notifications when this quiet thought slipped in: "I don't even know who I am right now." Not theologically. I knew I was loved by God. But I couldn’t find the me beneath the noise. That moment sparked today’s episode.

We’re diving into a kind of identity theft no one warns you about, the slow erosion of your name by digital distraction. Because distraction doesn’t just steal your time. It steals your name. And if the enemy can steal your name, he can distort your calling.

But you are not powerless. There’s a way back to clarity. Back to calling. And it starts by hearing your name again, not from your screen, but from your Saviour.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What neuroscience and Scripture both reveal about distraction and identity
  • Why you stop recognizing God’s voice (and your own) in a noisy world
  • 4 daily rhythms to reclaim your name and restore your soul
  • How to rebuild attention as an act of worship (yep, it’s that deep)
  • How real connection and Christ-centered community help reflect your true identity
  • And I’ll guide you through a simple practice I call a “Name Fast,” a 24-hour reset to help you notice what’s naming you, and what God says instead.

    If you’re feeling fragmented, reactive, or just plain lost in the noise, this episode is for you. Hit play, then grab the free Digital Wallpapers for your phone or desktop I made for you to help re-anchor your identity in Scripture.
