Porn is Bad for Everyone (Walking in Freedom, Part 2) 37:46

לפני 5 ימים37:46

37:46

To better understand our conversation on pornography, we need to understand the lay of the land when it comes to research about pornography. Today we'll address three specific questions: Why is pornography different from other digital inputs, or even other sins? How does pornography impact the brain? What does research tell us about porn and our world? Show Notes: https://bit.ly/43HS0L3…

Porn is a Lie (Walking in Freedom, Part 1) 33:02

לפני 12 ימים33:02

33:02

Today we begin our short series on walking in freedom in an area of sin that is pervasive within the church: pornography. This conversation is hope-focused and aimed at equipping parents, students, friends, pastors, and believers from all walks of life to experience fullness of the freedom Christ has saved them for (Galatians 5:1). Today's conversation focuses on the lie of pornography, and how pornography is the perfect representation of our fallen condition, because porn is a lie from our flesh, from the world, and from the devil himself.

Parenting means showing up. I've been wrestling with how to be a better parent, and often feeling like I'm falling short. When I'm laying in bed I'll run through all the ways I could've done a better job. In praying about this I've been convicted that, while I can always do better, I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be. My job as a parent is to show up. Today we'll talk about the three ways we can show up for our children: in prayer, in relationship, and in loving boundaries. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3GS2MWb…

A Time for Everything Under the Sun 39:13

לפני 26 ימים39:13

39:13

Jesus instructs us on just about every topic we run into during our human lives: He addresses abiding, suffering, love, grace, compassion, right living, being made new in him, and faith. He addresses Hell a lot. He’s pretty specific about his teaching on wealth, and on the fact that we all have borrowed time. In thinking about it, I think Jesus addresses play pretty comprehensively. He even mentions play, if only by extension from his other topics. Today we'll dive into four aspects of playing well as Jesus instructs us, and check if our play helps, rather than hinders, our sleep, our ability to mourn and to be with those who mourn, to rejoice and be with those who rejoice, and to be still.

Using Strengths (And Weaknesses) for the Lord 21:30

לפני 10 weeks21:30

21:30

Tech is amazing at helping us leverage our strengths for productive purposes. Organized people become more organized, social people become more social, and the doers of life get more done. Yet that same tech that allows us to truly shine in areas God has gifted us can be equally distracting, and even destructive, when our weaknesses show up. We can make more mistakes, faster than ever before. We can also put our trust in our amazing, God-given abilities and be tempted to believe that we can do good works on our strength. Those never end well. So today we'll talk about how we use the best tech well in the areas of our strengths, as well as our weaknesses, and remember together that our goal isn't to be productive, or even impressive, but to use all the tech that makes much of Jesus.

We are parenting in a time-stretched world. After sleep, school, food, and travel we have, on average, five discretionary hours a day. How will we spend that time?

Today we’ll talk about the top five priorities we have as parents, and discuss how each is an opportunity to raise our children up in the way they should go. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3F4sVQH…

What can we do to ensure our tech stays healthy even when the weather is bad? I live in the Pacific Northwest, and our rainy season isn't set to stop for another three months at least.

Tech is the New Cul de Sac. Right? 23:23

לפני 16 weeks23:23

23:23

Making friends in an internet age can be tough. Everyone is online (90+% of teens), and more than half of teens say they are online “almost constantly”. So how do we help our children make good friends? We start by teaching them what it means to be a friend: someone who is of equal value, a priority to you, and real world. Then we look at which tech best supports developing these friends, and which tech simply gives us an area of common interest and convenience, but which also makes us expendable rather than exceptional.

In the digital world there are a lot of new ways to do old things: Young people hangout online, play sports via the internet, and get famous for their ideas and influence. So how do we know if this is just the latest phase in life and culture, like the printing press or the bicycle, or if there is something unhealthy in our child's life that needs intervention?This is the beauty of a RESET. We simply look at our child's tech use and ask: "Does this tech impede my child's Relationships & Responsibilities? Emotions? Sleep? Enjoyment? Time?" Show Notes: https://bit.ly/40mwAQN…

Best of 2024: Intentional Parenting 21:05

לפני 23 weeks21:05

21:05

Prioritizing isn’t one of my gifts. I’ve got great energy, I’m adaptable, and I can do a great job being present. Being prepared is another thing. While I’d love to justify my lack of planning on account of my spiritual superiority (I’m clearly a Mary, not a Martha), I have to acknowledge that we are called to count the cost of following Jesus. That’s not possible when I have no idea what is at stake. It’s easy to get busy, do good things, and miss making the most of the moments we are given. Yes, this applies to technology, but I’m mainly concerned with our day-to-day—those 16-18 waking hours each of us are gifted. Today we’ll discuss how to be intentional with our days, and some simple ways we can submit our busy calendars and hearts to our loving heavenly Father.

Christmas Break is a great excuse to talk about tech with your family. Your family is going to have more free time on your hands, more people to visit(along with their devices), and all of this means it's a great chance to talk about your expectations in time, place, and content, as well as what to do when something goes wrong with tech. This Christmas Break we can be intentional to have conversations about using tech from the hope we have in Jesus, not for hope in our daily lives. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/49yzear…

The great news of the gospel is that we are saved from sin and set free to live freely.

Our freedom in Christ isn't license to make excuses, but rather a declaration of our need and the chance to see real, spiritual freedom come even into our technology.
