  • Summary

  • Can we live simply without tossing our smartphone-life in the trash? We found answers in Sister Act II and walk-in closets. This season, we're doing something new, and it begins with the virtue of Simplicity. We live in a complex world. Can technology help simplify it? Or does it only make things worse? Chris and Adam look at Simplicity in the face of social media, smartphones, and artificial intelligence. IN THIS EPISODE If you ever feel fragmented, this episode is for you. Drawing on insights from Stanley Hauerwas, Richard Foster, and the Sermon on the Mount, we explore... How might we live simpler lives in a technology-driven world? Could social media and smartphones promote simplicity rather than fragmentation? What role does Christian community play in fostering the virtue of Simplicity? Plus, learn how past technological developments have already shaped our relationship to Simplicity. Filled with philosophical insights and practical advice for integrating simplicity into modern life. LINKS We’re using the list of virtues from Stanley Hauerwas and his book, The Character of Virtue: Letters to a Godson. Buy a copy and read along with us!
