Technology is everywhere. It shapes how we communicate, work, learn, rest, parent, worship, and relate to one another. In many ways, technology is a gift: it's a tool that can help us love our neighbors, serve others, create, organize, and connect. But technology is never neutral in its effects. The tools we use also shape our habits, desires, attention, relationships, and imagination.
Technology and the Christian Life is a Calvary Institute class designed to help Christians think wisely and faithfully about life in a technological age. Together, we will consider both the opportunities and the dangers of technology, asking how followers of Jesus can use digital tools without being discipled by them.
This class will explore technology as a tool, how technology shapes us as people, and the particular impact it has on Christians seeking to live faithfully in the world. We will consider questions of attention, distraction, embodiment, relationships, formation, wisdom, and witness. We will also reflect on what it means to be made in the image of God in a world that often pulls us toward disembodied, distracted, and disconnected ways of life.
The goal of this class is not fear, guilt, or withdrawal. Instead, we want to grow in wisdom. How can we receive good gifts with gratitude while also resisting patterns that deform us? How can we use technology in ways that serve love of God and neighbor? How can we recover the value of embodied presence, faithful limits, deep attention, and life together as the church?
Whether you feel overwhelmed by technology, curious about its influence, or simply want to think more intentionally about your digital habits, this class will help you consider how to live for Christ with faithfulness, wisdom, and joy in a technological age.
