The Cyber Effect: Nine Ways Technology Shapes Us

In this episode, I'm diving into something that's quietly shaping our thoughts, our relationships, and even our sanctification—the digital world. Whether we recognize it or not, the cyber world is forming us. It's not just neutral content floating in cyberspace; it's a cultural pull, competing for our hearts, time, and devotion. I'm going to explore this cyber effect, not as a secular psychology study, but as a biblical framework for evaluating the impact of technology on the soul. I’ll walk through nine specific effects—from the way devices impact real-life relationships, to how social media shapes identity, to the slow drift away from the local church. This episode isn’t about throwing away your phone or deleting every app. It’s about re-centering your heart on Christ, so you’re not swept along by the current of online culture. Psalm 19 tells us that God's Word restores the soul and makes the simple wise. That’s our aim. Let’s bring God's Word to bear on cyberspace so that we can love God more deeply and others more intentionally—even in a digital age.
