Welcome to the Jeff Kaven Show, where we talk about the Bible, discipleship, and evangelization,

putting it all together in living as activated disciples.

This is show 453, 10 ways to use your smartphone.

Welcome to the show. I'm Jeff Kaven, so grateful for you joining me today. And if you're brand new, welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy it. We talk about scripture. We talk about discipleship. We talk about ways of witnessing apologetics, all of it. And today we're going to be talking about 10 ways to use your smartphone as a Christian,

as a Christian. And of course, most of the people that are listening to this show are Catholic.

And so we're going to be mentioning some particularly Catholic ways of using the smartphone.

And I think it'll be a real help. At least give you some new ideas on how to go about using your

smartphone in a holy way. We should actually call them holy phones, shouldn't we? Separated, distinct,

useful in the kingdom of God. It's for the Lord's service, not just our own. Not merely a form of

entertainment, but a tool in the disciples toolbox, right? Hey, if you do want the notes, I do have, oh, let's see, I got a list here for you. I have 10 things, but got 11 apps I'm going to be mentioning to you. If you do want the show notes, all of this, and you are currently running, walking, driving, and you can't take the notes, we'll get them to you. All you got to do is send my name,

text my name, one word, Jeff Kavens, and text it to the number 3-3-7-7. That's two-3-3-7s. Pretty holy,

right? It's a biblical number, right? Three-three-seven-seven-seven. We'll get you the notes.

So, wow, right now, if you hear in the background,

I'm out here in the cabin. I'm out deep in the woods of Minnesota right now, and it is windy,

and there are white caps on the lake, and those leaves that now are brown are blowing everywhere.

So if you hear a big sound, that's either a bunch of leaves hitting my window or a tree or something.

But I kind of enjoy it, to be honest with you.

I like the change of seasons.

I really do.

We in Minnesota, as Oprah Winfrey asked Prince one time in an interview, you know, you live in Minneapolis?
