Two pastors have offered practical advice for combating smartphone addiction â an issue they said is permeating the Church at an unprecedented rate.Â
Smartphone addiction is one of the âmajor pastoral issuesâ of today, Joe Rigney, an author, seminary professor, and pastor at Cities Church, said in a video posted on the Gospel Coalition website, yet it only emerged in recent years.Â
âI think anytime when weâre preaching at our church and we make an application to technology and smartphones . you can feel it palpably from our people that thereâs a hunger for, âYes, we feel like thereâs something wrong here, and we just donât know exactly what to do.â Because we feel like theyâre so âessentialâ to living. Theyâre so useful in so many ways, yet it feels like thereâs something thatâs off,â he said.Â

Two pastors have offered practical advice for combating smartphone addiction an issue they said is permeating the Church at an unprecedented rate.
Smartphone addiction is one of the “major pastoral issues” of today, Joe Rigney, an author, seminary professor, and pastor at Cities Church, said in a video posted on the Gospel Coalition website, yet it only emerged in recent years.
“I think anytime when we’re preaching at our church and we make an application to technology and smartphones . you can feel it palpably from our people that there’s a hunger for, ‘Yes, we feel like there’s something wrong here, and we just don’t know exactly what to do.’ Because we feel like they’re so ‘essential’ to living. They’re so useful in so many ways, yet it feels like there’s something that’s off,” he said.
