Ep 231 | Christ and Technology - Smart Phones, Part 1

Welcome to a brand-new series on NorthWoods Church Matters podcast! In this episode, Matt, Ivan, and Carey dive into one of the most important questions Christians should be asking today: how is your smartphone shaping your life—and your soul? From shocking stats (the average person checks their phone 144 times a day!), to how social media companies are actively rewiring our brains for more screen time, the guys unpack the spiritual consequences of living in a constantly connected world. They explore how smartphones impact our time, our desires, and even our beliefs, often forming unconscious habits that pull us away from God’s best. Whether you’re a digital native, a tech skeptic, or just someone trying to use your phone more wisely, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to think deeply about the role of technology in your walk with Christ—and maybe inspire you to put the phone down a little more often.
