conduit for meaningful spiritual experiences and from conversations i ve had with people who engage with our projects i know that it often is but like many people my relationship with technology isn t simple i resent the time i waste scrolling and notice myself reflexively reaching for my phone when i m anxious or bored my screen is filling up the spaces that used to be empty maeve sutherland full

the entirety of god s teaching and truth didn t end on the last page of the bible that god is still teaching can we still listen to the inward teacher when we impulsively check our smartphones throughout the day i think that we can god s truth isn t locked in a book or in a specific moment in history that truth is also not locked out of our modern technologies a j mendoza full quote june 26 2026 when the luddites got together to make technology responsible answerable to our needs careful of the approaching limits of the planet responsive to conscience such simple decisions must be

isn t wrong the amish have managed to keep technology in check and in doing so they have fostered a sense of community that many of us yearn for in our electronically tethered and frenetically paced

yearning for that something the amish seem to possess in their lack and which we lack in our possessing the serenity the quietness the sense of knowing where one belongs in a defined community kevin d miller full quote june 22 2026 putting tech on probation the amish are not completely opposed to technology but they want to ask technology questions and the primary question they ask of technology is
