  • Episode 56: Unplug to Reconnect: Finding Peace in a Digitally Obsessed World
    Jun 17 2025

    Is your phone running your life—or is your life running away from you? In this episode of the Light + Life Podcast, hosts Liza and Pastor Tim dig deep into the growing tension between digital dependence and spiritual health. From doomscrolling at 2 a.m. to the brain-numbing effects of constant content, this candid conversation confronts the chaos of modern tech addiction and invites you into a more grounded, Christ-centered way to live.

    You’ll explore:

    • Why digital burnout feels like emotional and spiritual emptiness
    • How phones and social platforms quietly disciple us away from Jesus
    • Why physical connection, handwritten Scripture, and analog practices matter
    • How to reset your rhythm, rebuild focus, and restore peace
    • How to stomp out “ANTs” (automatic negative thoughts)
    • How small digital boundaries can lead to lasting spiritual change

    Tim and Liza share personal struggles, practical boundaries, and the hope of reconnecting with God and others through intentional presence. Whether it’s leaving your phone in the kitchen, rediscovering your paper Bible, or setting a timer on your Instagram app, this episode is full of real-life advice for reclaiming your mental, emotional, and spiritual clarity in a screen-saturated world.

    📵 What would it look like to pause, pray, and power down—so Jesus can speak more clearly in your life?

    Jun 3 2025

    Can Christians live more sustainably without getting caught in cultural confusion or guilt? In this episode of the Light + Life Podcast, Liza and Pastor Tim explore how faith intersects with environmental stewardship—unpacking personal habits, biblical truth, and surprising stories about our responsibility to care for God's creation.

    You'll hear raw reflections on hustle culture, convenience, and how easy it is to fall into the trap of thinking “it’s too far gone.” But instead of shame, this conversation invites you into a Christ-centered view of sustainability: not political, not performative—just deeply rooted in love for the One who made the world.

    Topics include:

    • Why Christians should care about the Earth
    • Sustainable habits that fit real life
    • The theology of stewardship and dominion
    • Microplastics, food sourcing, and practical tips
    • How rest and rhythm reflect God’s design
    • Why creation care is discipleship—not politics

    Whether you’re just starting to “go green” or wrestling with how to align your lifestyle with your faith, this episode offers encouragement, humor, and practical direction. You’ll leave inspired to make small changes with eternal meaning.
