or your favorite podcast provider Almost every one of us have found themselves in this position. Maybe it's sitting in your chair after dinner in the evening. There's nothing

interesting on TV. You pick up your phone and somehow an hour later you realize an hour has passed and you don't really know what you did with that hour.

You do know that you did a lot of scrolling.

Now were you looking for good news or bad news or just catching up on other people's lives?

What's going on in your mind when you lose that hour scrolling and what's going on in the program you're interacting with with the social media.

Welcome back to issues etc.

Joining us a talk about scrolling and something called Doom scrolling.

Lisa Cooper, she's senior copywriter at Revelation Media and a freelance writer at Barna.

She has a master's degree in religion from the American Lutheran Theological Seminary, and she's author of a recent column for the Christian research journal titled a Christian response to scrolling and doom scrolling.

Lisa welcome.

Hi, thanks for having me. What's it like being married to Dr. Jordan Cooper?

It's very fun.

We always have good things to talk about.

realize that there's a difference between scrolling and doom scrolling.
