The author of "From the Garden to the City: The Redeeming and Corrupting Power of Technology", John Dyer brings keen observations that help us see technology, the Bible, and our own lives afresh. Believers and unbelievers alike are saturated with technology, yet most give it little if any thought. Consumers buy and upgrade as fast as they can, largely unaware of technology's subtle yet powerful influence. In a world where technology changes almost daily, many are left to wonder: Should Christians embrace all that is happening? Are there some technologies that we need to avoid? Does the Bible give us any guidance on how to use digital tools and social media?

Larry and John share a fascinating discussion on the blessings and curses of technology in our culture today. It's an interview that will encourage and challenge you!

This is the first of a two-part interview. The second part is available as a podcast from Hill Country Institute Live.
