Sacred Scrolling: Finding God in the Algorithm

We don't just scroll anymore-we worship. Our phones glow like golden calves in the desert, and the algorithms we feed are shaping us more than we realize. Sacred Scrolling is not a call to throw your phone in the river or flee to a cabin in the woods. It's a brutally honest, theologically sound, and pastorally practical guide for living faithfully in the digital wilderness. With wit, depth, and compassion, Dustin Gross explores how scrolling became a liturgy, how algorithms prey on our attention, and how outrage, curated selves, counterfeit intimacy, and information overload fracture our souls.
Drawing on Scripture, neuroscience, church history, and spiritual practices, he shows that discipleship must reach your notifications, holiness must touch your hashtags, and grace must invade your group chats. This book isn't about logging off forever-it's about logging on differently. With reflections, stories, and practical steps, you'll learn to reclaim attention as worship, resist the liturgies of outrage and distraction, and rediscover the God who is already present in the glow.
Whether you're a church leader, a digital native, or simply someone exhausted by endless feeds, Sacred Scrolling offers a way to follow Christ in the algorithm-and to find freedom where you thought only fatigue existed.
