    Episode 1: The Fridge Is Cyberbullying Me (And Other Signs Your Attention Span Is Fried)

    Welcome to day one of The Catalyst Podcast! In this inaugural episode, host Trey Kiessling launches a brand-new space where faith, culture, and music intersect—proving you don't have to just float along with the noise. Trey kicks things off by breaking down the absurdity of tech startups (specifically, why anyone would buy an AI-powered smart fridge that text-messages you custom insults for midnight snacking). Then, we dive into the main shift: how our attention spans got cooked by the attention economy, why our mornings are hijacked by algorithms, and three tactical, spiritual steps to take your life back. In This Episode, We Cover: The Slices Segment: Why smart kitchen appliances are plotting against our dignity and how eating shredded cheese in the dark is a universal human experience. The Deep Dive: Moving from passive consumer to active force by building walls around your peace (Romans 12:2). The Three Shifts: 1. The "Analog First" Morning Rule (Put the smartphone down and get a $10 alarm clock). 2. The Digital Sunset (Setting hard boundaries for your evening rest). 3. Trade Consumption for Connection (Swapping texts for real phone calls or coffee). The Soundcheck: Spotlight on the new wave of indie, alternative, and electronic artists redefining faith-based music. Featured Track: Check the show notes for this week's featured Soundcheck artist to turn up on your commute. https://youtu.be/-mfyfFvCkjg?is=Yj3TP2oFqhTO1Li3 Get Connected: Make sure to hit Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and tag Trey on Instagram (@__TheCatalystPodcast) to let him know you're a day-one founding member!
