The Cell Phone Industry’s Dirty Secret | S5 Bonus Episode Aug 31, 2026

Show notes

Your cell phone may be doing more than connecting you to the world. It may also be connecting you to a humanitarian crisis most people know nothing about.
In this powerful episode of Let's Be Clear, Pastor Jamal Bryant exposes the hidden cost behind the smartphones we use every day and explains why what's happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo should matter to every person with a cell phone.
He also challenges us to examine how technology has become a modern-day idol, why we check our phones hundreds of times a day, and how we've become more connected to our devices than to God, our families, and even ourselves.
Pastor Bryant also opens an important conversation about abuse that goes far beyond physical violence. He discusses why men are rarely included in these conversations, and why self-neglect may be one of the most overlooked forms of abuse in our society today.
This episode will challenge the way you think about your phone, your relationships, your faith, and your responsibility to care for yourself and others.
