  • How Do I Manage Tech This Summer? (Five Tech Fixes, #1)
    Jul 9 2024
    Summer is here, and our children have a lot more time on their hands. How do we help them navigate the tech that helps vs. hurts? I've received a number of queries from parents and I'm using three recent scenarios to inspire our conversation on how we can use tech from hope, not for hope, and ensure our tech is safe, good, and that our children are ready for it.

  • What Will You Be When You Grow Up? (Talking with Teens #5)
    Jun 25 2024
    Young people are asked this question from the time they can speak. Yet what we do isn't as important as who we are while we're doing it. In today's conversation we'll discuss what we're called to do as followers of Christ, and reflect on whether our current goals and achievements (or failures) in the area of a career line up with who God is calling us to be.

  • Which Tech Can I Use? (Talking to Teens #4)
    Jun 18 2024
    It's a story I'm hearing more and more often:
    • a high school junior who swapped Instagram for Whatsapp to reclaim her goals and time
    • a twenty year old who deleted social media to spend more time in his own life rather than the lives of others
    • a college senior who asked his mom to put parental controls on his smartphone to help him focus on his schooling and career
    Today we talk about how we can use all the tech that helps us be more like Jesus, and none of the tech that distracts us from Him.

  • Loving Parents Give Good Gifts (Talking to Teens #2)
    Jun 4 2024
    “What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?" (Luke 11:11)

    I love to give my children good gifts. Whether it's a delicious treat, snappy new clothes, or a new game or toy, I love being able to provide my children with not only what they need but also what they want. Sometimes, however, my children ask for things that aren't good for them. It might be as simple as ice cream for breakfast, but sometimes what they ask for can hurt more than just their tummies. Today we discuss what it means to ask for, and receive, good gifts from loving parents. In the process we recognize that sometimes the most loving answer is "no".

    May 28 2024
    It's tough being a kid. Being raised in a tech world is even worse. In today's conversation I talk directly to the teens in our lives, and give a reminder that yes, our choices matter, and God's call is even bigger than our mistakes.
