How Do We Stop Scrolling Ourselves to Death? feat: Ivan Mesa and Brett McCracken, Episode 298

What if the habits shaping your daily scroll are quietly shaping your soul, and your church, for the next generation? In Part 2 of our conversation with Brett McCracken and Ivan Mesa, editors of Scrolling Ourselves to Death: Reclaiming Life in a Digital Age, we take a deeper look into the ways digital technology forms our hearts, relationships, and communities. From "main character syndrome" to the epidemic of information overload, the conversation unpacks how every generation, Gen Z to Boomers, is being discipled by screens, and how the Church can resist digital shallowness by reclaiming real, embodied community. Listen to practical encouragement for churches hungry to nurture countercultural connection and for individuals eager to recover timeless Christian practices in a sea of distraction. Discover why hopeful, Gospel-rooted engagement, not fear, must anchor our response to a rapidly shifting technological world. Whether leading, parenting, or just wondering how faith fits in a digital age, this episode delivers challenge and hope for the journey ahead.
