In an age that where ideas and information come and go at the speed of light, there is a deep need for timeless truths that transcend our present moment. In several parts this year, we will be considering the Scriptures that sit behind the Nicene Creed, the church’s most important and unifying summary of what the Bible teaches about the the nature of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In this ancient statement of faith we find a summary of “the faith one for all delivered to the saints,” and step into an ancient tradition that united us with Christians across time, geography and the various branches of Christianity. May God help us see who He is more clearly through this study in more of His mystery, beauty, and love.

This fall we began calling everyone in our church to begin examining our relationships to the digital technologies in our lives, especially our smartphones and social media. The data is in: These technologies are leaving us distracted, lonely, anxious, tired, and increasingly unable to make space for intimacy with God and one another (see our recommended reading below). Anecdotally, it seems there are few people who are happy with the amount of time and the ways in which they spend that time on their phones. How many of us have deeper loves and passions that get squeezed out of our lives by scrolling things that leave us empty? For all their benefits, it is difficult not to see these technologies as part of a larger, dehumanizing culture.

Amidst all of this, Jesus’s words in Matthew 11:28-30 are like rain in the desert. He says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” He’s offering us loving, gracious, humane treatment. We want to be a community that takes Jesus up on his offer. We want to take His yoke upon us. But that will entail taking off many of the yokes of this inhumane age.

We created a short guide to offer you a few ideas and resources for disentangling yourself from the unhealthy aspects of your technologies. Ideas for a “digital detox,” if you will. What might it look like if a local church community committed itself to freeing itself from distraction that we might be more present to God, to one another, and to His good world? Let’s find out.

In other news, we’re going to stop posting on social media soon as an expression of these values. To get the latest updates around our community, visit www.doorofhopene.org and subscribe to our newsletter. Long live local, embodied community around Jesus!

We recently completed our 2024 vision series calling our community to reject the yokes of our modern/post-modern culture (especially the ones belonging to our technologies) in favor of putting on Jesus’s easy and light one. As we begin the ministry year these books are great resources for thinking through some of these ideas more deeply. Happy reading!
