Ep. 135: Is Your Phone Silencing What Matters Most?

Expedition Marriage with Chris & Jamie Bailey

Is Your Phone Silencing What Matters Most?

In a world full of dings, buzzes, and endless scrolling, it’s easy to slowly drift away from the things that matter most—our connection with God, our closeness with our spouse, and the purpose we were created to live out. In today’s episode, we’re exploring how the enemy uses everyday distractions, especially our phones, to silence what’s most important.

We’ll unpack how subtle distraction, not outright destruction, is often the tool the enemy uses—and how we can take practical, faith-filled steps to reclaim our attention, intimacy, and spiritual focus. If you’re craving deeper connection with God and your spouse, and you're ready to quiet the noise, this conversation is for you.
