One Small Tap That Changes Everything: My Honest Review of the Brick Digital Wellness Device

What if one small tap could help you stop scrolling, protect your peace, and reclaim your focus all without deleting every app on your phone or going off the grid?

That’s exactly what I’ve been testing for the last 30 days.

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest review of a new physical tool called The Brick - a small but mighty digital wellness device that’s changing how I interact with my phone. It’s been one of the simplest and most effective ways I’ve found to create intentional, screen-free space in my day. It's definitely helping me overcome digital distraction.

This isn't just another gadget. The Brick interrupts compulsive phone habits in a way that’s gentle, smart, and shockingly effective (without subscriptions, batteries, or maintenance). It uses NFC technology *just like tap-to-pay* to help you pre-decide how you want your phone to work before the distractions even start.

You’ll hear how I’ve used it to change my morning routine, improve family time, and even set up screen limits that actually stick, for yourself and anyone else you’re trying to lead by example.

If you’ve ever overridden your own screen time limits without thinking, or wished for a tool that could help your whole family focus better, listen in. This one’s for you.

♦︎ What if your phone told you, “This is a distraction”? ♦︎ What if tech helped you pause instead of pulling you in? ♦︎ What if a tiny tool could transform how you use your phone?

Let’s talk about why physical boundaries beat willpower every time and how this might be the digital wellness device you’ve been waiting for.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most screen time limits fail (and what works better)
• How the Brick device creates friction that rewires your habits
• My favourite ways to use Brick for deep work, rest, and family time
• The surprising spiritual insight behind protecting your attention
• How to use Brick with kids and finally stop being the “screen time police”

Ever felt like you're reacting to your life more than living it? Like the swirl of input is naming you faster than God's truth can remind you who you really are?

I was standing in my kitchen, juggling a blinking to-do list and a phone full of notifications when this quiet thought slipped in: "I don't even know who I am right now." Not theologically. I knew I was loved by God. But I couldn’t find the me beneath the noise. That moment sparked today’s episode.

We’re diving into a kind of identity theft no one warns you about, the slow erosion of your name by digital distraction. Because distraction doesn’t just steal your time. It steals your name. And if the enemy can steal your name, he can distort your calling.

But you are not powerless. There’s a way back to clarity. Back to calling. And it starts by hearing your name again, not from your screen, but from your Saviour.

What You’ll Learn:

• What neuroscience and Scripture both reveal about distraction and identity
• Why you stop recognizing God’s voice (and your own) in a noisy world
• 4 daily rhythms to reclaim your name and restore your soul
• How to rebuild attention as an act of worship (yep, it’s that deep)
• How real connection and Christ-centered community help reflect your true identity

And I’ll guide you through a simple practice I call a “Name Fast,” a 24-hour reset to help you notice what’s naming you, and what God says instead.

If you’re feeling fragmented, reactive, or just plain lost in the noise, this episode is for you. Hit play, then grab the free Digital Wallpapers for your phone or desktop I made for you to help re-anchor your identity in Scripture.
