\\xa0

You intend to \\u201cjust check\\u201d your social media accounts, but a few minutes turn into an hour or more of mindless scrolling.

If this sounds like you, it may be time for a detox. To help motivate you, our guests describe what has helped them control the time spent on their phones, specifically with social media.

In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul is candid about his struggle with sin: \\u201cWhy do I do what I don\\u2019t want to do?\\u201d Pastor Jonathan Pokluda asks the same question in his latest book (titled exactly that!). We can all relate, but what do we do about it? Is it possible to replace vices with virtues and bad habits with good ones? Is it possible to not let sin have mastery over us? In part two of our conversation, JP will tackle three battles we all face: perception management vs. authenticity, busyness vs. rest, and cynicism vs. optimism.
