MP3•בית הפרקים

Martin Luther, in summarizing many church fathers and mothers, cited the three temptations that draw us away from God: The flesh, the world, and the devil. Technology offers the same three distractions from God's best for us, and today we look specifically at how these sublte lies slip easily into our daily lives, and what we can do to recognize and resist them with truth and hope.

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

לפני 29 ימים21:30

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.

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

לפני 10 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.

Best of 2024: Intentional Parenting 21:05

לפני 17 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.

“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". Show Notes: https://bit.ly/45axwd9…

”The devil’s three temptations of Christ aren’t about getting him to “sin”, as we think of it, but to get him to take his rightful kingdom by an easier road—to do the right thing in the wrong way.” -John Mark Comer, Live No Lies. Today we discuss the three temptations of technology, not to be afraid of it, but to expose it for what it is. We can live free with tech, and we can also live free of it if necessary. This conversation is to help each of us recognize, and resist, the three temptations of tech. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/49oNy3w…

There are some conversations that feel a little too loaded, even a little too taboo, to discuss with neighbors, co-workers, friends, or family (sometimes that last one especially). Today we kick off a series called Can We Talk, a discussion designed to help us reclaim the conversation around culture, God, and tech. You won't find hot takes, click bait, or knee-jerk reactions from our Twitter feed (we still call it Twitter, after all). What you will find is two guys named Nathan who love Jesus deeply, who want others to trust and follow him, and who are hungry to help real conversations get started in real lives and relationships around culture, God, and tech. Join us as we walk this path ourselves. We hope you are encouraged and equipped to begin these conversations where God has planted you, and as you seek to follow God in reaching all the people he loves so much.

All of us want to thrive, but what does it mean to do so in a tech world from a Biblical standpoint? I recently read a book where the author encouraged readers to “do today, thrive tomorrow”. At it’s core this is a beautiful reminder to "go to the ant, you sluggard" and prepare in times of plenty for times of need. That's both Biblical and wise. But when these ideas extend from the internet's idea of thriving, when it is the lynchpin in a conversation about reaching all God has for us, I take umbrage. This “best life now” language becomes our starting point and then we try to figure out how God fits into it. Let's be clear: Jesus didn’t come so we could become the best version of ourselves. He came that we might die to ourselves and live for Him. Today our conversation looks at what it means to thrive in a tech world, and how we can do so well with the days, and talents, God has gifted us. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/446TdZC…

I'll address three great podcasts, an audio book I've found incredibly helpful when it comes to focusing on the Spirit, and a reflection to make this week an intentional practice in living out Romans 8:5-8. 5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

How do we take time back from tech? In today's conversation we'll cover four steps in this journey we can begin today. We'll discuss how to plan your: tech (what and where) day (4 chunks that work for nearly all ages) play (simple, analog, present) rest (in both our work and our play) Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3qQaFDK…

How do we abide? Jesus says it’s crucial: “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5) But what is it, and how do we do in this on-the-go tech world of ours? Today we're going to discuss four ways to make conscious, moment by moment decisions to follow Jesus with our everyday choices. We'll use four great books on the subject to help us discuss how to: Keep tech in its proper place Trust God for the little and the big things: hope, joy, and even our personal desires, make-ups, and goals. Prayerfully change habits and behaviors that celebrate hurry Participate in the daily battle that is setting our minds on the things of God Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3BZSjlL…

170. Does Tech Help Us Love God Well? 43:03

לפני 2 years43:03

43:03

This episode almost didn't happen. I rewrote it three times. I had to fully record it twice. I pray it'll be useful. I want to talk about whether our tech is helping us love God well, but at the heart of that conversation is a discussion about failure. God loves to use failure to achieve his purposes. He starts in 3:15 and hasn't looked back. He isn't scared by it, but he also isn't ok with it. If God could just ignore failure Jesus wouldn't be necessary. Instead God does something else: He uses failure. This matters in talking tech because most of our Drool Tech is aimed at getting around failure. Games give fail-proof adventures, social media gives fail-proof connections, and pornography gives fail-proof intimacy (no one has ever been turned down by porn). Yet that stuff can't bring us hope or peace, and some of it brings death to the very things we're hoping to nurture. Today's conversation looks at failure, how God uses it, and how we can use tech from hope and not for hope. It's ambitious, and I pray I pull it off.…

He is risen! In light of Easter, let’s think about our eschatology of our technology. When Jesus returns, what tech will still be here? Today I want to take a step back from the daily hustle and bustle of building hedges, gauging tech safety, and assessing tech health and instead what to simple ask: Are we using our tech on purpose, or for purpose?

What happens when our child wants to make a mistake? We've talked extensively about how to build a hedge around your network, devices, and family. We've talked about how to assess tech health, how to decide what tech to adopt, and how to remove and replace. But now we need to go one step further, into the unthinkable: Our child is making poor choices despite our best efforts. Now what? Today we're going to talk about how we can lovingly step into our child's life and understand, engage, and respond to breaches of trust while keeping the focus on loving, teaching, and raising our children up in the way they should go.

Do our children need social media? It might be the wrong question. There's lots of stuff we don't need but we still enjoy, and as loving parents we want to give them good gifts. So when your child asks for social media, or a smartphone (which is almost always a sideways request for social media), what do we say? Today we'll dive into this conversation looking specifically at TikTok as our example. In our discussion we'll answer four questions about TikTok, and social media in general: Do we have a hedge? Is it tech safe? Does it fit our family expectations? Does it support my child's purpose?…

I get asked about Roblox more than any other game right now. It makes sense. The game has 200 million monthly players and something like 75% of boys aged 9-12 in the US play this game. I've decided to take this question and make it the ultimate opportunity to walk through what we've been talking about for the last few weeks. Today we apply the "Adopting New Tech" model and walk through the conversation as it applies to a world-leading video game. Today we'll answer: Is it safe? Does it fit your family expectations (both for tech and for games)? Is it a good fit for your child? Show Notes: http://bit.ly/3yhJimj…
