About this title

Synopsis

Find Christ-centered help for taming your screen life, guarding your heart, and building digital habits that deepen faith and strengthen relationships.

Screens are everywhere--and they're shaping what you love, fear, and trust. Written by a pastor and a psychiatrist, Redeeming Technology offers practical, gospel-centered guidance for understanding how phones, streaming, gaming, and social media are forming your heart--and how God's grace can reshape your habits. Rooted in both biblical wisdom and clinical insight, this book helps you move from distraction and compulsion toward thoughtful, life-giving use of technology.

In this book, you'll learn how to:

• Recognize when digital habits fuel anxiety, shame, and comparison
• Set healthy limits without guilt or legalism
• Talk with kids and teens about phones, pornography, and social media with honesty and hope
• Build rhythms of rest, prayer, and Scripture in a connected world
• Use technology in ways that serve worship, relationships, and mission

With real-life stories and clear, practical steps, pastor A. Trevor Sutton and psychiatrist Dr. Brian Smith uncover hidden patterns of digital dependency and point you to lasting change in Christ. Rather than rejecting technology, Redeeming Technology shows how to place it in its proper place within God's story of creation, fall, and redemption.

Whether you're a parent, church leader, or simply feeling overwhelmed by constant connection, this book will help you reshape your digital life--and recover the joy of being present to God and the people around you.
