About the Event
Earlier this year, an American social psychologist named Jonathan Haidt published a book called, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. In his book, Haidt presents research that shows the negative impact of a phone-based childhood, including adverse effects of heavy social media usage during childhood and addiction to video games. He also claims that emphasis on virtual relationships and a lack of real-life relationships are causing this generation to experience a greater level of loneliness, isolation, and anxiety.
In this class, we will study Jonathan Haidt's book, explore the biblical teachings on how to respond faithfully to the challenges of our generation, and examine how we can be present, focused, and rested Christ followers in order to offer the world a non-anxious presence—the presence of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
This class will be hosted in the Chapel from 7PM to 8PM on the following evenings:
