Shape technology, or it will SHAPE you | Real Life Podcast Episode 9 

I am 56 years old and I had never own any kind of mobil phone, and I feel free! But the sad part is that wherever I go, people is just staring at their phones, even in reunions and it is hard to make a good conversation, so sad, and also it make you feel ignored. My husband has a flip one, only because our orchard business or an emergency in the work. I have survive with out it, just like in the old times, and if somebody needs to tell me something, good or bad, I just get the news later!. You two are an inspiration in this time we are living. God Bless you and your family

Good points! I also try the following: No phone at the table (take "food pics" at the kitchen counter and then set food on table) No phone 30 mins before going to bed No phone next to bed I DO need to work on the following: Being comfortable with not listening to anything at least an hour a day Stop binge watching and instead, read a book Thanks for the #nuggs! love you both

Felt so convicted just in the 1st 10 minutes of this... and even more convicted at the end. I feel exactly the same way Alyssa says she does. I always have my phone near and I almost feel my heart race when I see it but am not looking at it. Actually excited to set boundaries and see how different and more connected I feel without it.Thank you for talking about this subject!

I know she's probably really quiet, but take a breath and give her the opportunity to speak lol i love to hear more of her thoughts.

I've gone through weeks without Facebook and trust me. When I went back from that break I realized I didn't miss a thing. Taking breaks from Technology and screen things is good for the mind and spirit.

Self regulate... living a disciplined life, even in technology. I have to self regulate in every because everything can be so entertaining, games, facebook...lol, etc.

"Put technology at the fringe of your house, not the center." That's GOOD.

Would love to hear about your parenting styles. Like how ur teaching ur kids about god and the routines you have with them how do you keep them entertained with out the use of technology

Jeff and Alyssa, thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your hearts. I look forward to them every week. My favorite parts were definitely creation > consumption and setting up your space to foster creativity!

Love this. Never really thought about having a balance between consuming vs doing. Did learn recently how not to idolize our quiet time so much as serving is actually just as important.

Great podcasts; you guys talk about such great topics. I'm in high school and found your channel about two years ago and love all your advice. I have temporarily disabled my instagram for a few months already and I love it. I often used to find myself just reaching for my phone and instagram out of boredom and never felt refreshed afterwards. I only have my social media on my iPad and Laptop, and not on my phone, so that it's not so easily reachable.

This is so encouraging! I love your tips on how to regulate it!

Yes, I try it. I did loose my husband last year in September and it was really hard. Hard because I did not have kids and my life changed 100% but praying has helped lots. Blessings your way 💞

This is GOLD. So thankful for you guys!

These podcast are literally life!! THANK YOU!

this content is amazing... so much wisdom, so practical and it all makes total sense

I think I remember a story about the discovery and production of radium. Everyone thought it was just the most awesome element and it was played with at the production factories and put in all sorts of products. Some of the ladies that worked in the production facilities would jokingly put some on their teeth to make them glow in the dark. Years later the consequences of messing with radioactive material started killing off the workers, but the production companies insisted that radium was safe so when people started dying there was a retaliation from the workers. The employees were dying from exposure so some of them decided to sue the employment companies to be compensated for lying and putting them at an enormous health risk. Scared that information would get out that the companies killed people the kept postponing the court dates over and over again until all the workers who had filed the lawsuit had passed away from radiation poisoning.

Thank you for this! God bless you and your family xo

i agree with everything said but i still struggle because i feel like if i need to be available to people and there for them.

Absolutely I completely love this video, I love how you both worded it and it’s really opened my eyes on my feelings about it. I already HATE my kids being always wanting the TV. I am definitely one to be in my phone working but I feel the Peace it brings when I put my phone in another room for the day or a couple hours. I am definitely going to try to delete my IG because I definitely feel I need to unclutter my social media and get closer with God. I loved this video. Thank you so much!

We need this on a platform right now with everything going on

Love so much of this, and technology has ways that we can adjust how available we are. If you have to be available, you can put your phone on do not disturb mode, but make certain contacts as exceptions! I take care of my sick grandma, so my exceptions are her doctors, hospitals, her daughter, her husband, and 2 family members whose kids/my other siblings that I help take care of or am an emergency contact for. We can make them more of a tool than use being used.

wauw!! still so good to listen to!

This is great! Thank you!

1:07 Jefferson is visibly pissed at his wife for continuously interrupting him.

Good advice🌹🌹

Is this on Spotify?

Hey Jeff, I think in the episode with John Mark, you mentioned a study about how social media "plaques up" the brain. My background is in Bio and I would really like to read about that! Could you pass on where you got that info from? Thanks!

i LOVED this podcast. technology has been weighing on my heart a lot lately and whether or. it my relationship is healthy with it. Love your “radical” view on tech in today’s culture and society. Thank you for willingly being different from our culture and striving to be Christ-like in every aspect and spurring others to do so.

More like this guys !!!

Wow awesome 👏

I've never had a smart phone. But I do spend too much time with my laptop. So you know, I'm still working things out.

Sooo good

Can u post this on your FB?

I am Gali, in the year 1980 I lost all my hopes, I became a thief and club dancer. At that time I heard about Christ, the Lord spoke with me though the Scripture. JOHN 14:6 “I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER BUT BY ME.” I surrendered my life to Lord Jesus and confessed that He is the only Lord and died for my sins to deliver me from all my sins (Karma). When I totally surrendered my life to the Lord He has delivered me from evil spirits, which suffered me about 6 years. I became a new person in Christ. I love Bible so much and started memorizing the scriptures. By the grace of God I have memorized Five Thousand (5,000) Verses from the Holy Bible. Every week I also remember all the verses. Morning time I remember about 1500 verses for praise, worship and prayer. (Including 100 Psalms). This practice helps me to grow strong in the Lord and also to help others for the glory of the Lord. John 14:6 is my favorite verse; I preach this word to many unsaved people that they may find the peace in Jesus Christ because He is the Lord of all. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GWViryWWch4.html

I've never been this early🤣first..

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
