About this episode
Our entire civilization is a finely tuned machine designed to do one thing, and that is to capture your attention and then sell it to the highest bidder. Your eyes, your ears, your mind, they are the battleground. Every notification, every advertisement, every trending topic is a skirmish in the great war for your soul. The world understands something that the church has, in many quarters, forgotten. It understands that whatever captures the heart will eventually direct the man. The world wants your heart, not so that it can fill it with life, but so that it can monetize its emptiness. Into this cacophony of voices, this digital bazaar of endless chatter, the Word of God speaks with a father’s urgent authority. Solomon, writing to his son, is giving him a battle plan. This is not quaint, inspirational advice for a quiet life.
