“To ignore the good of technology is to ignore the call of Eden to create. But to idolize technology is to get caught up in Babel. Only when we bring the image of God to bear on technology can we cultivate it in ways that respect our embodied limits, and cultivate the common good and shalom, rather than confusion and Babel.” -Pg 196

“Modern technology use is our Tower of Babel because it tries to make us gods. And it’s killing us instead.” -Pg 193

“…we cannot experience God the way we were meant to experience Him until we experience Him alongside others.” -Pg 171

Exercise chapter was peak

“We should be exercising in order to love people better, not idolizing exercise as a means to love ourselves.” -Pg 155

“Ordinary [eating] is not about dieting, it’s about an ongoing way of life that respects the limitations of our bodies, embraces the good food God gives us in the world, cultivates our bodily ability to love those around us, and spiritually prepares us to seek God in both fasting and feasting when they come.” -Pg 88

“We were made to worship God through dependence on what He provides and delight in what He gives us [specifically in relation to food].”
-Pg 68
