156. START HERE: Adopting New Tech

Jan 17, 2023 | Gospel Tech Podcast

Reading Time: | Word Count:

If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s coming for you: “Mom / Dad, I want that new _______ (insert newfangled tech)”.

What do you say? You want to give your child amazing things they want, but how do you know if this is a good idea?

Today we’re going to build the base for this conversation and equip you with everything you need to answer this question well. Whether its an app, game, device, show, or album, you will be empowered to do more than win: you’ll be empowered to parent.

The basis of the conversation is three simple questions:

  1. Is it safe? (Matt. 7:7-10)
  2. Does it meet family expectations? (1 Cor. 10:23)
  3. Does it support your child’s goals & purpose? (Luke 6:45, Gal. 5:19-23)

With this foundation you can address new tech in hope, not fear, and gain some parenting wins along the way.

Living Well in an Overstimulated World

We live in a culture that encourages low focus, low attention, and low discipline in doing the hard stuff. To raise up our children well in a tech world requires a clear understanding of our goals, our priorities, and our plans.
