After ten years of teaching, preaching, and researching aspects of Infobesity™ around the world, I am excited to release a practical resource for local churches, denominations, youth ministries, local schools, conferences, and Christian leaders on how to develop healthy modern-day followers of Jesus navigating a digital world.

Since 2015, four or more people have been dying from unregulated drug consumption in British Columbia per day. Let that sink in… a number that is deeper than a drug crisis. I would say it is a modern-day loneliness crisis. There is ALWAYS hope in crisis: How can the local church rise (and not sit idle)?

 Attention Economy is ONE of the many strategies digital platforms use to keep you engaged in digital activity.

For example, the science behind the pings and dings of your digital device is to offer you small hits of dopamine. Like a key opening the front door to your home, dopamine stimulates the neurons of your brain to engage you in activity.

The question is, who OR what has your ultimate attention? The digital or the divine?

Digital consumption is increasing, not decreasing, in the home. How can we, as parents, develop healthy digital habits in the home. This post goes through SIX key indicators of how to develop healthy digital practices for our families.

In a culture, as Will Ferrell has famously said, “if you are not first, you’re last.” And it seems in a culture which is fueled by hyper individualism, winning in life or politics or economics or relationships or fill-in-the “blank” is a me-first concept.

I call these trolls mental health issues.

AND, we all face them!

This POST is HOW to face them. Feel free to ADD to the conversation.

You’ve experienced the upheavals, redirections, pivots, and changes we’ve all had to make (and continue to make). And like YOU, I have experienced the burdens, grief, and weight of these decisions in light of a world pandemic.

With that said, the pandemic has also allowed the Church to reset. And, what I mean with reset is to have the permission and ability to shape what the Church should or could look like/be rather than what it was/is.

We have the ability and permission to experiment. Reboot. Reimagine.

Here are 5 ways I am experiencing the Great Reset
