How does technology affect the life of faith and discipleship in the 21st century?

Specifically, the use of mobile technology (Smartphones, wearable tech) makes our lives and minds a lot different than they were 15 years ago. What does this mean for us theologically? Practically?

We'll engage in particular with two resources:

1. "Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation?" by Jean Twenge. The Atlantic, Sep. 2017.

2. Faith for Exiles: 5 Ways for a New Generation to Follow Jesus in Digital Babylon, by David Kinnaman & Mark Matlock. (2019) This book recaps extensive statistical research by the Barna Group.
