The truth is:
we check our phones more than we check the Bible.
On our phones we often find … pressure, problems, and pain. And exposure to those over time can negatively impact your mental, emotional, and physical health.
And what could we experience if we were to daily open our Bibles? peace, truth, and promises.
in a 24-hour day
We know what the solution is,
but we keep opening the wrong thing every day.
3 hours
are used streaming shows or movies.
2 ½ hours
are given to answering emails.
344 times
And the amount of times we check the phone for notifications?
2 ½ hours
are on social media (Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc.)
3 hours
are spent doing activities on a phone (games, texting, shopping, etc.).
🧑🏼🏫
Dr. Mark Williams
"Notifications trigger a release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that can create a sense of anticipation and addiction, leading people to check their phones compulsively in anticipation of new notifications. This can lead to a sense of social pressure to always be connected and responsive."
