To My Fellow Christian Creators
Don’t miss our last call to enter our giveaway of this outstanding book!
In Scrolling Ourselves to Death, G. Shane Morris’s chapter on the creative and cautious use of new media was a standout. Using online video as a case study, Morris builds on Neil Postman’s warnings about entertainment, arguing that smartphones have shifted us from being merely entertained to constantly distracted.
He offers four strategies to counter this trend: 1) Recognize what’s happening to you, 2) Ask meaningful questions, 3) Redeem the medium, and 4) View screens as symbols that point us back to real-life gifts.
There is immense potential for digital tools to teach, inspire, and reconnect people with reality. We must use them wisely and intentionally.
Scrolling Ourselves to Death is an eye-opening book to the digital age we live in and the spiritual side of our screen time. Read my full review.
