Digital vs. Physical Books: Settling the Debate (Kind Of)
Is there really any difference between reading a book on your phone, Kindle, or in print? And does it even matter?
In this episode, Laurie grills Jonathan on why he’s such a strong advocate for physical books, discussing everything from passing forward books in discipleship to the ways digital intake can subtly change how (and whether) we retain truth. They explore the distractions that come with screens, how physical books can serve as spiritual Ebenezers, and why flipping pages might just better help shape who we're becoming. Whether you're a Kindle devotee or a full-time book hoarder, this conversation will give you something to think about next time you reach for your next read.
