Prioritize Your Soul in a Post-Truth World

“Go online for a purpose, go for a reason. Stay online only as long as you need to, and then go offline.” — Brett McCracken

In his message at TGC21, Brett McCracken addresses an issue of today's generation of quick information—how to develop wisdom in the midst of all that is being thrown at us, online. He shares three things that are making us sick:

  1. We have too much information
  2. We receive it too quickly
  3. The information is too focused on the individual (self)

As an antidote to these problems, McCracken forms a “wisdom pyramid” which is similar to the food pyramid. In each level of the pyramid, he describes how much time we should be spending in relation to the other levels. For example, most of our time should be spent in the Bible, which is the foundation of the pyramid, and the least amount of time should be spent on social media and the internet, which is the top of the pyramid. Like a healthy diet, The Wisdom Pyramid  is a guide to lead us into better spiritual and physical health.
