Let's be honest: teenagers aren't the only ones glued to their phones. Most of us live in a state of constant hyper-connectivity, where being "always on" is culturally rewarded but spiritually draining. We long for deep, authentic relationships, yet we struggle to break free from the digital habits holding us back. In this session, Chris Kasper (founder of Techless) and Darren Whitehead (pastor and author of The Digital Fast) sit down for a candid conversation on what it takes to rescue our time, our focus, and our souls from the digital noise.

Gen Z is navigating a cultural conversation around sexuality that is louder and more pervasive than anything previous generations experienced.
