Scrolling Yourself to Death: Conquering Weakness in a Digital Age w/ Brett McCracken EP 911
Is your phone making you weaker? Are you being discipled by your screen instead of by Christ?
In this week’s expert interview, Jim Ramos is joined by author Brett McCracken who exposes how our scrolling culture is robbing men of strength, focus, and spiritual health. They unpack the dangers of digital addiction, why constant information leaves us powerless, and what it really means to lead and protect your home in a tech-driven world.
You’ll walk away with practical advice on how to break free from phone addiction and model strength for your kids and simple daily habits to reclaim focus, prayer, and presence.
