The rapid advance of digital technology is reshaping our world and warping our minds. The onslaught of social media and smartphones has brought an appetite for distraction, an epidemic of loneliness, and increased rates of mental unhealth. For Christians, the digital revolution has profound implications for spiritual formation and mission. How should believers respond to the theological and discipleship challenges of scrolling life?   

This year's Men at Hope conference will be addressing these challenges. Make plans to join us for Digital Wisdom: Reclaiming Life in a Digital Age. We will hear from guest speaker, Brett McCracken, who has become a leading Christian voice in this arena. 

•  Brett McCracken is a senior editor for The Gospel Coalition and a leading voice at the intersection of faith, culture, and the arts.
  For two decades he has written articles and books that have helped Christians love the church, understand cultural trends, and engage the arts with thoughtful appreciation and biblical discernment. In recent years his focus has been on how the digital age shapes souls and erodes wisdom. This emphasis began with his influential 2021 book, The Wisdom Pyramid, followed by a co-edited project in 2025, Scrolling Ourselves to Death. His newest book, The Wisdom of Sleep, doubles as a theological reflection on rest and a critique of our optimization-obsessed technological moment. (www.brettmccracken.com) 
  

Along with keynote sessions, we will also have breakout sessions and worship led by guest Worship Leader Gabe Sigmon. Registration also includes coffee + donuts in the morning, snacks throughout the day, and a Texas BBQ lunch. Each attendee will also receive a copy of Brett's book The Wisdom Pyramid.
