Drowning in Distraction? Phillip Telfer on Reclaiming Your Family From the Digital Age
What if the biggest threat to your family isn't culture, politics, or education—but the smartphone in your pocket?
In this episode of Uncommon Sense in Current Times, media expert and author Phillip Telfer exposes how today's "culture of distraction" is quietly reshaping the minds, habits and spiritual lives of both kids and parents. With smartphones engineered to steal attention and families losing meaningful presence at home, Telfer gives a practical, hopeful roadmap for restoring focus, connection and peace in your home.
✨ This week's reflection:
Have you ever wondered why peace feels impossible in a world that never stops?
This conversation will help you find it again.
📌 In this episode, we unpack:
✅ Why today's digital environment is "unprecedented" and far more dangerous than past technologies
✅ The real reason kids can't focus—and why parents are struggling just as much
✅ How "fubbing" (phone-snubbing) is quietly damaging parent-child relationships
✅ Practical strategies to restore peace: phone-free zones, trading up, boredom reframing & more
✅ Why boredom is healthy—and essential for creativity, spiritual clarity and mental health
✅ How digital detoxes reset the brain, calm the nervous system and clear spiritual clutter
✅ Why parents must model digital discipline before expecting it from their kids
