Description
We live in an age where we are bombarded with technology. Most everyone uses mobile devices and is connected to the internet. We are being formed and shaped by what both the hardware and software do to our minds and bodies. Most parents adopt a permit and then restrict approach to technology. Unfortunately, we collectively are making poor decisions regarding our technology use, and even worse, poor decisions with respect to our children’s use. What if there was a faithful way to use technology but not become its slave? What if we made better choices and adopted better practices? By being a pre-modern parent, we seek to go back to a time when our homes were places of common spaces, open communication, quality time together and places of beauty and wonder. The center of the home is the family centered on Christ, His Word and the worship of Him. This presentation will explore the problems and dangers of technology but also will offer practical solutions and resources to parents. It also equips pastors to catechize families into a God-pleasing use of technology.
