About this listen
At the start of a new year, we’re launching a new series on creativity—not as something reserved for artists or content creators, but as a core part of being human.
In this message, we explore how **technology shapes our creativity**, our relationships, and even our spirituality. From smartphones in our pockets to bricks in the story of the Tower of Babel, the question isn’t whether technology is good or bad—but whether we are using it creatively, or allowing it to use us.
We look at:
* Why creativity belongs to everyone, not just the “creative class”
* What ancient stories like **Genesis 11 (Babel)** can teach us about modern technology
* How efficiency, uniformity, and power can slowly erode human flourishing
* The impact of screens and digital life on attention, relationships, and formation
* Three practices for reclaiming creativity: **being curious, critical, and close**
If you’ve ever wondered how to live faithfully, thoughtfully, and creatively in a tech-saturated world—this conversation is for you.
📍 Part of the series: *How to Be More Creative*
📖 Scripture focus: Genesis 11, Psalm 20, Romans 1
