In Episode 12 of Digital Christianity, "Rejecting and Redeeming Technology," we dive into the pervasive presence of technology in modern life, particularly focusing on its impact on worship and education. Join us as we explore how digital devices distract churchgoers from meaningful worship and pose significant challenges in classrooms, affecting children's educational outcomes and mental health.

You'll hear a past clip from a public seminar given by Sophie Winkleman on how social media and screen time are changing societal dynamics, leading to a crisis in collective spiritual and mental well-being. We also hear from Patrick Miller and Jen Pollock-Michelle, who discuss the dangers of school-issued screens and the complexities of parenting in a digital age.

Additionally, Dr. Read Schuchardt offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Amish, highlighting their thoughtful approach to technology and the lessons contemporary Christians might actually learn from them. As we grapple with balancing technology's benefits and pitfalls, this episode urges us to consider rejecting harmful aspects while redeeming its potential for good.
