Surrendered Tech: Achievement, Wisdom, or Rest?

Why do we use technology? Tim shares that we often look to tech to be a source of achievement, answer hard questions, or rest our minds. Ultimately, however, it takes us away from what could actually offer what we need.

Surrendered | Technology with Jordan Lapp

Jordan is a youth leader intern who has an amazing story of finding God and community after looking for those things in tech. He explored how Jesus invites us to follow him by denying ourselves and how that is connected to self-control. We hope you're encouraged to continue to surrender your tech to Jesus!

Surrendered| Technology

As we continue to think about our lives through the lens of surrendering to Christ, we recognize the significant role that technology plays. In this message, Tim explains the original design for technology to increase connection and work. While this is sometimes achieved, there are many ways in which current tech actually decreases connection and distract from work. Are we willing to ask ourselves how are use of technology is really affecting us?

Surrendered | Dating (Tim and Nat)

If living for God's kingdom in either singleness or marriage is the goal, what should dating look like? Tim and Nat discuss the purpose behind dating and the pitfalls.

Surrendered | Marriage and Singleness (Tim and Nat)

Jesus made two crazy, counter-cultural claims: first, the singleness is a meaningful and powerful calling, and second, the marriage is meant to be an image of God and humanity. Nat and Tim unpack this in a podcast style recording from their dining room. We hope it reveals the incredible vision God has for both of these lifestyles!
