Summary

We may be "stepping on some toes" with this conversation, but with all of the love and grace and hope of the gospel. Let's face it: Our relationship with our phones is a complex one. Joey Odom is a breath of fresh air and wisdom here to explore how technology has shaped us, practical strategies to prioritize relationship with people and Jesus over our phones, parenting advice, biblical examples, and so much more. If you're longing for a life more present, intentional, and joyful, then it starts with this conversation on how to steward our phones. (This doesn't mean chuck your phone in the woods and live like a monk... we can live intentionally with our phones present, but our feet more present in our daily lives.)

And I cannot think of a better topic, especially for summer, when a lot of us think of

0:47.1

summertime as a time to be more present, to be more unplugged, and to be more real with our

people and our relationships. And so we have a new friend on

0:56.2

the show and we're so excited to be talking about something that everyone's talking about, but I also

1:01.1

feel like no one's really talking about. And that's the relationship between us and our phones and

1:06.4

social media and all of the things. I think there's a lot of talk about boundaries and just do this and that

with our phones. And yet there's such a powerful hold over our lives with these devices and how it's

affecting our relationships, not only with our people, but with our savior. And so we want to
