God, Technology, and the Christian Life

Crossway, 2022

By Tony Reinke

WHO: Tony Reinke, host of the Ask Pastor John podcast and a senior teacher at Desiring God.

HE SAYS: “Science can never deliver us. Innovation will never satisfy our hearts. Life’s meaning will never be found in Apple’s latest gadget.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book seeks to dismantle 12 common myths Christians often hold about technology.

THE PROGRESSION: In six chapters, the author examines the relationship between technology and faith.

“God ultimately controls the start and pace and end of all human innovation. Whether we trust the Creator in these areas will determine how we face an uncertain technological future.”

Jesus seems to have an unhurried pace. That is to say, he always seems to have time to stop for people, even when doing so was annoying to those around him.

“Here was a people group that wasn’t being served by any form of chaplaincy like many major sports have,” says Pastor Joshua Boyd, of the local MMA community. “And they needed care just like anyone else.”

Perfectly Imperfect Churches

Most of the great breakthroughs and innovative ideas are a result of problems being viewed not as a problem to solve, but an opportunity to make things better.
