In this episode, we explore the complex relationship between technology and our ability to maintain peace during politically charged times. Drawing from Philippians 4:8 and other biblical wisdom, we examine how modern technological advancements, particularly in news media and social platforms, impact our spiritual and emotional well-being.

Key points discussed:

1. The dramatic shift in how we consume political information compared to previous generations

2. The impact of 24/7 news cycles on our anxiety and stress levels

3. The role of social media in amplifying political divisions and reducing civil discourse

4. The challenge of maintaining Christ-like love and humility in online interactions

5. The concept of the "attention economy" and its effect on our spiritual focus

6. Practical steps for managing our engagement with technology to promote peace

The episode includes guided prayer that encourages us to evaluate our relationship with technology, particularly news consumption and social media use. It offers suggestions for creating healthier boundaries with digital platforms to foster a more peaceful and Christ-centered approach to political engagement.
