The Age of Overload: When More Is Too Much and Still Not Enough

We live in an age of “more”: more technological innovations and medical advancements, more access to information and opportunities, and more ways to easily communicate and engage with others. All these advantages lead us to expect a longer, fuller, and easier life, and yet we frequently find ourselves dissatisfied, overwhelmed, isolated, and insecure. This workshop will examine how easy it is to forget our creaturely limitations, our broken surroundings, and our fallen nature in a world that promises more than it can deliver and pressures us to be more than God has asked us to be. And even more importantly, we will contemplate God’s compassion for the overloaded and his call to live simply and sustainably as his stewards.
