EP 40 | Our children’s HEARTS & MINDS: Technology’s battle and YOUR FIGHT.

Written By Jennifer Zumbiel

"Nothing is impacting the hearts, minds, and behaviors of our children more today than technology." ...Feels like a gut punch, doesn't it? We all know it's true and that it can feel so overwhelming to figure out every single thing we should know to keep our kids safe.

Chris approaches the protection of our children from the experience of Father to four ages 9-16, middle school youth ministry director for seven years, and over 1000 presentations to parents. His "Protect Young Eyes" team's mission is to give us bite-sized pieces that fit into our everyday life. Their free resources and app are designed to help parents be persistent and consistent in our lifelong approach to teaching internet safety and protection.

From digital trust, to a faith-based perspective, to how to get these webinars to your school, this will soon be your family's FAVORITE resource. Let's grow!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE!

  • This is the battleground. The formation that is happening of the hearts and minds of our kids through their technology is the most influential influence over them right now.

  • Kids don’t see it as a battle though so we need to view it more as a “marinade”. What’s worth sticking and what’s not? Because we don’t want them to totally detach from the world. Otherwise they can’t evangelize and be a light in an otherwise dark world.

  • How can we help our children take the things they see coming at them and measure them against the virtues and values we want them to have so THAT is what sticks, not the bad stuff.

  • If WE don’t say it, Dr. Google and Dr. Tik Tok will and they have 24/7 office hours.

  • We must be MORE persistent and more consistent than our children’s technology.

  • Looking for EASY faith-based, research-based, parent-based technology protection for your family? Protect Young Eyes brings it to you in bite-sized pieces that fit your REAL life.
