Younger Singles & Young Adults Bible Study

In their 2019 book Faith for Exiles, Kinnamen and Matlock ask us to discover five research-based practices that cultivate faithfulness in digital Babylon.  

The experienced researchers liken our screen filled world to living in a type of Babylon that is far from the land of Israel and Jerusalem,  “The lighted rectangles in our pockets - smartphones and their bigger siblings, tablets and computers - have redefined so much about our lives, including spirituality and the pursuit of  God.  The ubiquity and power of the interconnected, digital age is affecting how we shape our souls.”

In a world where always-connected smart devices and search algorithms educate and entertain, digital Babylon is the new context for where Christian live, work and must grow.  It seems we are all living as the Bible describes ancient Judah, an exile in a foreign land. 

Frank Fish, pastor of Los Angeles and Bakersfield, CA will facilitate this interactive study, for young adults (ages 18-35 - a mix of Gen Z and Millennials) we want to explore through a few exercises how you can focus on the five practices that make Christians resilient and thrive in the Digital Babylon as we await the return of the King of Kings, Jesus Christ.
