A Fellowship Circle

Digital Wisdom Circle

Walk with others learning to use technology without being formed by it.

A small circle for honest conversation about phones, screens, social media, gaming, and AI — and the slow work of becoming free, present, and faithful in a connected age. Not a screen-time program. A formation circle.

Why it matters

Technology forms us whether we notice or not — our attention, our desires, our sense of self. Scripture calls us to a renewed mind, undivided attention, and bodies offered as living sacrifices. A Digital Wisdom Circle helps a few people watch over one another's attention and freedom together.

Scripture foundation

  • Romans 12:1-2

    “Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

  • 1 Corinthians 6:12

    ““All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient… I will not be brought under the power of anything.”

  • Philippians 4:8

    “Whatever things are true… honorable… pure… lovely… think about these things.”

Gentle rhythms

  • Meet monthly, phones face-down or in another room.
  • Share one honest observation about your attention this month.
  • Read a short passage together and respond slowly.
  • Choose one small, shared practice for the coming month.

How to form one

  1. Begin with 3–6 people who genuinely want freedom, not just less screen time.
  2. Agree on confidentiality — what is shared about struggle stays in the circle.
  3. Track practices, not performance — small faithful steps over time.
  4. Consider including a mentor who has walked this slowly.

When you are ready, open Fellowship Circles to create a Digital Wisdom Circle and invite companions for the slow work of freedom.
