You never thought it could happen to you, then one day you wake up and you have become that person you never thought you would be. That person who is cynical, disconnected, prideful, burned out, and even that person who makes compromises. This week we are starting a series called Didn’t See it Coming based on a book by Carey Nieuwhof. We will wrestle with the above challenges together and see how God’s word provides encouragement and tools to help us overcome them.

This week we looked at the tendency to be disconnected that plagues our culture.

Proverbs 12:18-20 (NLT)

“Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. Truthful words stand the test of time, but lies are soon exposed. Deceit fills hearts that are plotting evil; joy fills hearts that are planning peace!”

Next Steps

-Turn off social media. Take a 24, 48 or 72-hour break from social media. Delete the apps from your phone if it will help.

-Set tech and media rules for yourself. (i.e. no phone or TV after 10:00 p.m. or no phones at mealtimes)

-Be intentional about improving your listening and communication skills.

-Find an accountability partner.
