Have you been looking for a reminder of the potential you're teeming with? Then we've got an episode for you.

How toxic are your current technology habits? What is technology doing to you? To us as a society and culture?  Life moves at a break-neck speed and stopping to think about the morality of tech probably isn't on your radar.

(thus completely flipping the current script) In this week's episode, Ben Fridge (@thehoustonwriter) hosts a short conversation around the idea of "an ethic for technology". 

Where is all this stress coming from?  No doubt about it, life is stressful. But how much of the stress we're feeling is self-induced?

On a scale from 1-10, how well would you say you sleep? It's that time of the year where we start reconsidering what our rhythms and routines should look like as we tackle what the next year will bring and how we want to contribute to the world. If you feel this, it's time to give this week's episode with Dr. Benjamin Long a listen!  Ben discusses his brand new sleep devotional, his extensive research on sleep and faith, and coaches us on how we've hit the snooze button way too many times in regards to the significance of sleep. Dr. Benjamin Long is a Sleep Medicine Physician & Assistant Professor of Pediatrics living in Anchorage, Alaska with his wife, son, & their dog, Rolo. His academic interests vary from pediatric sleep medicine to the intersection of faith and medicine, which includes spiritual wellness and moral burnout in residency and sleep health and the Bible. To explore sleep and Christian faith, Dr. Long wrote Deep Sleep: A 12-Day Exploration of Biblical Sleep to help Christians understand what "tools" our faith gives us to respond to sleeplessness and how our faith should shape our view of sleep.
