Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Justin. In this episode Arnie and Justin unpack how personalization algorithms feed our weaknesses, train our desires toward temptation, and weaken self-control—contrasting fleeting engagement with lasting spiritual growth. They ground the conversation in Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that appears to be right, but the end of it leads to death," and offer practical, faith-centered steps to reclaim attention and reshape desires.


4 R Action Steps
- Read: Read Proverbs 14:12 slowly and prayerfully.
- Reflect: Ask: Where is my attention being trained by algorithms rather than by Scripture? When have I traded growth for quick gratification?
- Respond: Short prayer — God, reclaim our attention and reshape our desires to honor you in everything we do and say. Amen.
- Reveal: Practice the half-hour "scroll and move on" exercise today; share the experience and Proverbs 14:12 with a friend and discuss concrete habits to protect attention (e.g., app limits, digital fasts, accountability).
