The Illusion of Freedom in The Digital Age

Digital technology seems to offer us endless freedom. But it also leads to the very opposite of freedom – addiction, slavery, anxiety, and uncertainty about what is true and real, what or whom to trust. Much of the freedom that technology promises turns out to be an illusion.  How can we think about and use tech in ways that actually liberate us? Join us for an evening with Dr. Bradford Littlejohn we explore the unique, life-giving wisdom that Christianity offers for living with true freedom in the digital age.

Rediscovering Friendship with Dr. Jonathan Pennington

Why are we still so lonely in our hyperconnected world? Join us as Jonathan Pennington explores how we can embrace intentional, face-to-face relationships where burdens are shared, joys are celebrated, and Christ-centered growth flourishes. By leaning into the Biblical vision of humanity, we can rediscover the richness of being known and loved in God’s family. “Rediscovering Friendship” explores how Christian resources and teaching can equip us to overcome the loneliness of a hyperconnected yet isolating world.
