How can we reclaim balance in a world consumed by screens?
On this episode of the Entrusted to Lead podcast, I sit down with Christian entrepreneur Erick Vargas, founder of Sabbath Space, to discuss his powerful journey from tech dependency to a life centered on faith and family.
Erick shares how his experiences at Liberty University and Citrix shaped his mission to merge faith and technology. As the co-founder of Follow Up CRM, he has dedicated his career to serving the Christian community through innovative solutions. But his most personal endeavor, Sabbath Space, is where his passion truly shines—helping individuals and families build intentional habits with technology and reclaim the Sabbath as a time for connection and renewal.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The impact of excessive screen time on faith, relationships, and leadership
✅ How small, intentional choices can transform family connections
✅ Why vulnerability is key in reshaping our relationship with technology
✅ The importance of boundaries and mindfulness in the digital age
✅ How the Sabbath Space app is redefining digital discipline for families and churches
Erick opens up about his personal struggles with tech addiction, how it affected his relationships, and the moment he realized a change was necessary. His faith-driven approach to technology use is not about restriction but about creating space for what matters most—faith, family, and personal growth.
Together, we explore how leaders can set an example for intentional living and how small, practical shifts can restore balance and purpose in a tech-driven world.
Tune in now for a heartfelt exploration of resilience, faith, and the power of intentional living.
