For nearly all of us the first thing we lay our eyes on every morning is our cell phone. In the course of listening to this podcast it's likely you'll check social media, respond to a text, and do some online shopping. Most of us are desperately aware of the addictive properties of the phone, but we struggle to adjust our life to greater faith formation.

Trevin Wax is managing editor of The Gospel Project at LifeWay Christian Resources, a pastor, contributing editor to Christianity Today. and the author of previous books including Counterfeit Gospels and Holy Subversion. Trevin wrote a review of Netflix's documentary on social media titled The Social Dilemma.

He is the author of the newly minted ReThink Yourself, a powerful book to reorient our identity around Christ. Trevin visits with Shane Morris on the power of social media to orient our loves, longings, loyalties, labors and liturgies around futile things while developing addictive behaviors in our psyche.
