Faith in a High-Tech World: Paul shares his unique perspective on navigating an industry designed around constant connectivity and how we can faithfully set boundaries when our jobs demand endless output. Elijah’s Broom Tree Moment: A look at how God met one of the most powerful prophets in history at his lowest point with deep physical care and compassion, rather than a new assignment. High Tech / Deep Touch: Why living in a highly digitized, screen-heavy world requires us to be intentional about physical restoration—addressing how our bodies hold onto stress and why we need physical healing, not just spiritual ideas. 💬 Discussion Question:When Elijah crashed, God started his restoration with a nap and a snack. What is one practical way you need to step away from your \"software\" (productivity) and care for your \"hardware\" (your physical body)…","meta_description":"Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast!
