Technology in our Families and Churches: How to Model and Cultivate Discernment (Podcast Ep. 8)

Two months ago, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory calling attention to the negative effects of social media on youth mental health. As Christian parents and educators, how should we be approaching these pressing issues surrounding social media, screen time, and the internet?

In this episode, hosts Remley and Faith talk about discipling children and teens who don't know life before wifi, why we need to be intentional about our use of devices, and resources for thinking critically and Christianly about technology.
