In today’s episode, we discuss the idol of distraction and how cell phones and social media entice us into a hidden addiction, envy and comparison that can cause anxiety and depression. Lindsey Maestas, of the Living Easy Podcast, tells us simple ways to crush the idol of distractions and focus on God.
RENEW YOU’ SHOW NOTES:
Host Quinn Kelly highlights Romans 12:2 thinking by helping readers reflect on this thought:
The WORLD says this: Don’t worry if your phone is a part of your everyday moments consuming time and energy investing in the lives of acquaintances instead of the relationships in front of you.
But God’s WORD says this: “A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh but envy rots the bones.” - Proverbs 14:30
“Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.” - 1 Corinthians 10:14
