61. What Do We Do With Tech Prodigals?

Apr 6, 2021 | Gospel Tech Podcast, Resources

Reading Time: 1 min | Word Count: 143

We talk a lot on this podcast about how the Gospel empowers our actions, about how it helps us raise kids who love God and use tech, but what about when our child makes poor choices on purpose? What if we’ve done all the right stuff and they simply refuse to go along with it?

Today’s conversation is dedicated to the reality that sometimes our children are prodigals: They make bad decisions on purpose. They do so openly, and they are not sorry or repentant. Join us today as we dive into how we can process this as parents and should, and shouldn’t, do when trying to love a tech prodigal.

note: Nathan tried to mix his enthusiasm for this topic with using big words. Please forgive his misuse of the word “glut” at 9:38. He meant deficit.
