Clare Morrell on The Tech Exit

We know that our digital habits are reshaping us—attention spans, mental health, and our capacity for relationship are all diminishing. Are we willing to address our digital habits in light of the heavy cost?  Join Mike Schutt and his guest Clare Morell, author of The Tech Exit, a book that asks a very practical question: what would it look like for families to step off the technological carousel and recover patterns of life that actually help them flourish? The discussion will challenge your assumptions about the neutrality of the digital world and your ability to manage it with your kids. Listen in as Clare invites us to see technology not merely as a tool to be managed, but as a formative power to be dealt with in light of what we believe about the human person.
