Welcome to episode #230! In this powerful and relevant episode of the Pure Victory Podcast, host Braden Hafner sits down with Eric Vargas, co-founder of the Sabbath Space app, to talk about tech addiction, its deep impact on our lives, and how to reclaim our time, focus, and relationships.
Eric shares his personal journey from being unknowingly consumed by screen time to building an intentional solution. He offers real insight into how tech companies design for addiction, how digital distraction affects our faith and families, and why true freedom starts with intentional disconnection. Eric also shares practical strategies—including how Sabbath Space works—to help you cultivate healthy digital habits and experience true rest and presence in your life.
Whether you’re trying to fight distraction, reclaim your spiritual life, or find practical ways to unplug, this episode offers tools and encouragement to help you win the battle.
