Reactivity [HC]

How the Gospel Transforms Our Actions and Reactions

Digital media and technology are altering the way people act – and react – toward each other.  Criticism, outrage, and controversy dominate social engagement and unfortunately many Christians have joined in the chaos.  It’s a troubling contrast to Jesus’s words in John 13:35: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Award-winning author Paul David Tripp instructs believers to view digital media and technology through the lens of the gospel and points them toward a biblical framework for communication.  Explaining how God wants the church to engage with culture and each other, Tripp encourages Christians to think wisely about their interactions and be a beacon of light in an age of toxicity.
