This conversation digs into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in the Christian life: the difference between conviction and condemnation. Both can feel painful, both can stop us in our tracks, but they are moving us in completely opposite directions. Conviction, as explored here, is the kindness of God calling us forward into who we were truly made to be. Condemnation, on the other hand, is a voice that wants us stuck, isolated, and convinced that nothing will ever change. Drawing from Psalm 139, where the heart of the writer cries out for God to search him and lead him in the way everlasting, we are reminded that inviting God into our deepest places is not a terrifying act but a transformative one. The spiritual lesson here is profound: if we want transformation, we have to learn to desire conviction. That desire is not masochism. It is maturity. It is the posture of a soul that trusts the Surgeon more than it fears the surgery.</p> <p>What if the very discomfort we spend so much energy avoiding is actually one of the greatest gifts God offers us?

Algorithms are designed to keep our attention, but as Christians, we’re called to be intentional about what has our attention. How much are we allowing our feeds to disciple us? What happens when the algorithm knows what we want before we even recognize our own desires? And how can we become more aware of the voices shaping our hearts and minds?


Join Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Tyler for a conversation about digital consumption, Christian discipleship, and the importance of being intentional about what we allow into our lives. Because we are always being discipled by something and we should be careful about what we choose.
