This week we focus on your pursuit of God. How does a parent focus on their relationships with God? Why is it important?
Take a listen to this podcast while you drive, cook, or workout. We promise you will be inspired and challenged to spend time with God this month.
Strengthening your relational line with God is the BEST thing you can do for your family this Christmas.

Technology Wrap Up + 5 Essential Insights

The question is not how to control technology. The question is what is going to work best for your family to meet their relational, spiritual, emotional, technological needs of each child in this season of life?
We are wrapping up our Technology Podcast Series this week and this might be the best week yet! We wanted to end this series talking about culture and showing you how parental control is not as powerful as teaching our kids self-regulation.
So how do we set a healthy family culture around technology?
We unpack 5 truths you can start using TODAY to cultivate a “real life” family culture. We narrow in on “teens” because this is where we are seeing a lot of issues in families.
Listen to this week’s podcast as we unpack powerful and practical ways to reach your kids hearts. Technology is not going anywhere parents, so we need to adapt and create a safe place for our kids to live and learn.
