(2 of 2). We have been talking about how to redeem our devices. Noah Martin has been studying this very issue for some time, and joins the podcast to discuss his findings in a conversational way.

We are considering (A) The Pursuit of Wisdom; (B) The Power of Presence; and (C) Building Better Balance.

Questions for us to consider:

(1) Are my current behaviors with my phone drawing me toward God or away from Him?

(2) Do my current behaviors with my phone expose my freedom in Christ or my bondage to man’s inventions?

(3) How is my screen time affecting my ability to independently think, relationally develop, and spiritually commune?

(1 of 2). We need to talk about our phones. Noah Martin has been studying this very issue for some time, and joins the podcast to discuss his findings in a conversational way. This is not an anti-phones, anti-screen time study – it is an anti "do nothing with my life because I wasted all my time not thinking about what I was doing and that usually happens when I’m on my phone" study.

We want to draw attention to the ways we voluntarily yield our control and willingly fragment our attention spans through unsustainable digital habits, and we want to use God’s powerful word to show us ways that we can redeem our devices for His purposes in our lives.

(2 of 2) Do you know what the busiest day of the week is? I'll give you a hint, it starts with a "T". But it's not Tuesday, or Thursday. It's tomorrow. Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week because what we intend to do and need to do often gets pushed off until tomorrow. To put off something until tomorrow what we should be doing today is called procrastination.

Procrastination may seem harmless. We may dismiss it as simply an annoyance. If you have something that needs to be done and you keep putting it off, it hangs over your head, it can make you irritable and grumpy, cause you to worry, and you can even loose sleep over it. It can be a nuisance, but it can also lead to something far more serious. Procrastination can be a sin and be spiritually deadly.

The story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel illustrates God’s grace, honor, and the truth that there is always room at His table. Drawing from this, we consider a special type of table, the "Table of Gifts." The heart posture and practical expressions —such as service, teaching, leadership, generosity, mercy, and exhortation—are explored.
