Her statement comes at a time when many churches have embraced technology, with tablets and smartphones increasingly replacing traditional books, including the Bible.
“Something Does Not Sit Right” – Her Exact Words
In her post, Ng'ang'a did not hold back her feelings, writing:
“idk something does not sit well with me when I see pastors preaching using iPads.... I want the physical bible - the holy book , yes, the present and the future are digital but.....”

Tradition vs Technology in Worship Spaces
Ng'anga’s remarks highlight an ongoing debate within religious communities — balancing tradition and modernity.
While digital devices offer convenience, easy access to multiple translations, and note-taking features, some believers feel that they take away from the authenticity and reverence associated with a physical Bible.ALSO READ: Foolish Lot! Lillian Ng'ang'a Bashes Netizens Doubting Her Love Life
For many, the physical Bible is more than just a book; it symbolises faith, discipline, and spiritual connection. Nganga appears to align with this perspective, subtly advocating for preserving traditional practices even in an increasingly digital world.

Social Media Reactions and Wider Conversation
Her statement has since stirred mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that technology may dilute the spiritual atmosphere, while others argue that the message matters more than the medium used to deliver it.
This is not the first time Ng'ang'a has sparked conversations around modern habits and their impact on society.
She recently spoke about “swipe culture” affecting comprehension, again using her platform to question how digital trends are shaping everyday life.
