Summary

You're probably using your smartphone to listen to this. Your phone is a great tool! But it can also create problems in life and marriage. (Side note: This episode marks 1 FULL YEAR of the Fierce Marriage Podcast! Thanks for listening!) Anyways... A few diagnostic questions: Do you check your phone first thing in the morning? Do you spend many of your idle moments checking it compulsively? What is the longest stretch you've gone in the past year without checking your phone? In today's episode, we'll continue our conversation we started about 12 episodes ago (whoops!). Note, we weren't paid to do this, we're just VERY convicted about this subject and the below book is gospel-centered, relevant, and challenging. Resource: "12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You" by Tony Reinke Thanks for listening! Please remember to subscribe, rate, and review.
