FREE Resource: 8 Books That Were Influential in Ways That Surprised Me
Andy Crouch and Amber discuss the human desire to be recognized, the superpower zone technology often launches us into, and the impact that has on our real life experiences, and some redemptive moves we can make to reclaim relationships.
Questions Discussed about Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World:
- (1:42) You begin with the words, "Recognition is the first human quest," in your book The Life We're Looking For. Share a little about our innate need to be recognized through face to face relationships and how we have displaced that with technology.
- (7:49) You share a contemplative exercise you had in the airport, walking and looking at each person you passed and inwardly saying, "Image bearer." You describe the experiment as "one of the more memorable and moving spiritual experiences of [your] life." In light of the convenient world we live in, how can we intentionally slow down enough to treat people as someone vs. something?
- 913:27) Talk to us about the "superpower zone" that technology often launches us into and the impact it has on our real life experiences.
- (19:57) How does Jesus describe "abundance without dependence" and how does that lead us away from the life of human flourishing as God designed?
- (26:10) You write about redemptive moves in an impersonal world. Will you share a few of those with us?
- (32:07) If someone listening and wants to push back against the negative impacts of technology, where would you encourage them to begin?
Reclaiming Relationship in a Technological World Quotes to Remember:
"Technology though very good in and of itself ended up derailing the things that matter most, which all have to do with us being persons designed for relationship and love."
