A study worth sitting with: the mere presence of a phone — turned off, face down, never touched — lowers the quality of a conversation.
Not a notification. Not a glance. Just the presence of the device.
Researchers at the University for Continuing Education Krems found that limiting smartphone use to under two hours a day for three weeks produced measurable improvements in wellbeing. A broader review across 21 studies and 3,600+ participants found the same pattern: less screen time correlates with better focus, stronger relationships, and lower anxiety — especially for people who started out most overwhelmed.
For those of us building brands, leading teams, or just trying to be present with the people in front of us, this isn’t abstract. It’s operational. Attention is the resource we manage least intentionally and protect least often.
In this week’s Roll Up, I make the case that the same discipline required to navigate AI wisely is required to set it down wisely.

The Church is sleeping through the biggest cultural shift of our lifetime.

AI is already reshaping how people pray, parent, create, lead, and make decisions — and faith-led conversations are still far too rare.

That’s exactly why I am launching Faith & AI in partnership with Holy Culture Podcasts.

Not to hype technology. Not to worship innovation. But to ask better questions, build discernment, and help believers move forward with confidence instead of fear.

The future is not waiting. Neither should the Church.
