Kids Are Digitally Detoxing.
**This podcast No frills. No edits, just me talking.**I saw something this weekend that honestly gave me chills, in the best way.Young people are done. Gen Z and Millennials are walking away from their screens on purpose. They’re doing digital detoxes, deleting apps, setting hard limits, all because they’re tired of feeling foggy, anxious, and lonely even when their phone says they have 300 friends. They want to think clearly again. They want to sleep through the night. Most of all, they want to look someone in the eyes and feel something real.While the tech world keeps shouting about AI companions and virtual realities and metaverse everything, regular people are quietly craving the opposite. They want to touch grass. They want long dinners that nobody films. One report I read said that soon you’ll actually be able to hire “professional walkers,” people whose whole job is to meet you and go on a walk while you talk about life. That’s where we are.We were never built for this much screen. God made us for real rooms, real voices, real hugs that last too long. The internet promised connection and delivered isolation wearing a smiley-face mask. The damage is everywhere now: kids who can’t focus for ten minutes, teens who cry when their phone dies because that’s where their whole social world lives, young adults who have never had someone just sit with them in silence.This is the moment the church has been praying for, even if we didn’t know it.Today’s students aren’t begging for another movie-clip sermon or a worship night that feels like a Coldplay concert. They’re desperate for something that feels old and true and solid. They want to sing songs that grieving widows sang a hundred years ago and still feel the same ache and the same comfort. They want to open a real Bible, paper that smells like paper, and read words that have outlived empires.Pastors, leaders, friends: please hear this.Stop trying to out-cool the culture. You don’t have to. The culture is exhausted from trying to be cool. Just give people Jesus. The real One. The One who touched lepers and flipped tables and washed dirty feet and said “follow me” to the biggest messes in town.Sit with your people. Open the hymnal. Sing “Amazing Grace” like you mean it. Then open Scripture and read it slowly, out loud, like it’s the first time anyone has ever heard it. Let the room get quiet. Let the tears come. Show them that two thousand years later, this story still grabs the heart and refuses to let go.Jesus is not boring. He is not outdated. He is better than the best filter, the funniest reel, the most immersive VR world ever built. He is alive, and when people meet Him for real, everything else starts looking like the cheap plastic it is.The world is waking up hungry. They’re walking out of the noise looking for a table with room for them, a story big enough to live inside, a Savior worth giving their whole life to.Church, they’re knocking. Open the door.Life is so much better on the other side of the screen. I’ve seen it. I feel it. And I believe with everything in me that the best days are still ahead.

Is the Book of Mormon a Literary Miracle?
My Mormon bishop friend recently presented a lecture about how statistics show that the Book of Mormon defies naturalistic explanations. How did Joseph Smith as a "subsistence farmer" write a book with long-form structural chiasmus and different voices?Let's jump into some of these statistical claims to see if the Book of Mormon is truly a miracle and that it shows that Joseph Smith had to be translating an ancient record.Sources Cited:"The Insane Statistical Impossibility of the Book of Mormon’s Origin | Matt Vallejo""Chiasmus," churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints.org.Robert Patterson, "Hebraicisms, Chiasmus and Other Internal Evidence for Ancient Authorship in Green Eggs and Ham," Dialogue Journal 33, no. 4 (Winter 2000): 163-168.Boyd F.
