In today’s episode, the guys welcome special guest Emilio Ramos to talk about an important and relevant topic: technology and how it will challenge our faith in the days ahead.\u00a0 In order to wrap our minds around this topic, we also need to understand the related concept of futurism.\u00a0 \u201cFuturism\u201d is an umbrella term that deals with predicting what our lives will look like in the future.\u00a0 Thinkers ranging from philosophers to tech developers weigh in on this future, and their ideas are not only relevant to the future, but have ever-growing implications for today.\u00a0 The agenda for tech now and moving into the future is more and more integration into our lives, and we can see even now that tech giants inform us not so much about new gadgets as about what these gadgets can do.\u00a0 Technology is part of our lives, and is becoming nearly part of us.\u00a0 And as things continue to move forward, we step toward a point of \u201ctechnological singularity,\u201d which will occur when tech will advance so far that we won’t be able to comprehend what it will look like to live in that world or to be human in that space.<\/p>\n

This may sound concerning, but the guys also explain that technology in itself is amoral; this lack of a clear moral problem is, in fact, what complicates the situation of developing tech for us as Christians.\u00a0 The guys love technology for many reasons, but are wary of dangers that it brings along with it.\u00a0 Technology can, for instance, oppose our resting before God and our meditating on His Word, and we can easily transition from using technology as a tool to help us to being used by technology.\u00a0 Technology can turn us into overly political or conspiratorial people, distract us from the gospel, and have negative effects on our kids.\u00a0 Ultimately, technology shaping us is not a new thing, but it is a matter that we have to deal with in new and different ways.\u00a0 As developers pursue life-extension tech and delve further into VR, we must remember that these things can never be true eternal life.\u00a0 We must always work to be wise in our use of technology, saying no to things that will be unhealthy in our lives and homes, and factoring in the realities of technology and its influence in our discipleship relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
