Reset and Recenter: A Christian's Guide to Faith and TechnologySample

Living in a Technological World

Technology is pretty amazing, isn’t it? If you’re reading this on a cell phone, tablet, or even computer, then you can also make purchases, access information, and instantly connect with friends nearby and around the world.

At the same time, our devices can give us a front row seat to every tragedy and easily fuels negative feelings like comparison, anxiety, and shame.

So what does it look like for Christians to use technology well? That’s what we’ll explore in this Bible Plan.

While Jesus didn’t have a smartphone, His way of life can still guide us today as we approach the modern tools at our fingertips.

Throughout this Plan, we’ll explore the theme of connection. We were created to live in connection with God and others, and technology works best when it enables this gift. But too often technology creates isolation and loneliness instead.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll look into some biblical wisdom and practical tips to help you pursue genuine connection in a tech-saturated world.

Today is just the beginning of learning how to reset your relationship with technology and recenter your life on what matters most.

So let’s start with this: Ask God to encourage you as you start this journey. He’s not asking for perfection. He just wants you to grow closer to Him and the life He has for you. So ask Him for guidance as we start this journey!

Pray

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your many blessings. Please help me to reset my relationship with technology and build better habits in my life so that I grow closer to You and others. I ask that You would give me wisdom and guidance as I work toward building healthier habits. In Jesus’ name, amen.

May we pray for you as you start this Bible Plan?
