In this episode of The Sheep Shed, we take an honest look at how technology is shaping our spiritual lives—often more than we realize. From the phone in our pocket to the endless stream of news, social media, and notifications, we talk about how easy it is for our devices to become our default source of comfort, distraction, and even discipleship.

In this episode, we share what we've learned from using AI in everyday life—at work, at home, and in our walk with Jesus. We explore the benefits, limitations, and the surprising ways AI is shaping how we think, connect, and grow spiritually. From brain science to spiritual formation to practical uses, this conversation digs into both the wisdom and the caution needed as technology becomes a bigger part of our lives.

Whether you rarely use AI or interact with it every day, we hope this helps you think wisely, stay rooted in Scripture, and learn how to use technology without letting it quietly reshape you.
