Today we get a chance to talk with Doug Smith, author of [Un]Intentional: How Screens Secretly Shape Your Desires And How You Can Break Free.

We cover a lot of ground in today’s conversation, but the one take-away is the same: There is great hope for raising healthy youth in a tech world.

Doug is a computer programmer, speaker on tech health, and author of the book [Un]Intentional: How Screens Secretly Shape Your Desires And How You Can Break Free.

At the end of the day we’re looking for more than balanced tech for our families—we want hope. Doug does a great job of helping us connect our real world parenting with the bigger picture of our purpose and the hope that awaits all who call on the name of Jesus.
