The lie of anonymity is one of the great lies tech tells us. We are told we can do what we want, go where we want, and be who we want without real life consequences.

Young people are asked this question from the time they can speak. Yet what we do isn't as important as who we are while we're doing it. In today's conversation we'll discuss what we're called to do as followers of Christ, and reflect on whether our current goals and achievements (or failures) in the area of a career line up with who God is calling…

It's a story I'm hearing more and more often: a high school junior who swapped Instagram for Whatsapp to reclaim her goals and time a twenty year old who deleted social media to spend more time in his own life rather than the lives of others a college senior who asked his mom to put parental controls on his smartphone to help him focus on his schoo…

“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 al…

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. Tha…

God calls us to a relational, embodied existence. This is impossible to do in solely virtual spaces, and trying to exist only online causes anxiety, loneliness, and depression.

Everyone wants to live their best life, but what if living your best life now literally means living for, and with, Jesus?

Drool Tech is designed to take our time, focus, and money.

What does it mean to be a Christian? It seems simply, we've all known this since summer camp: Put your faith in Christ and you get eternal life. But is that what Jesus taught us? What did Jesus say about his power for our life today, not just our life in eternity? Today we're talking about what it means to be buried with Christ, raised to new life …

Jonathan Haidt’s new book changes the tech conversation. From this moment onward, no one can respond to concerns about tech with “nuh uh” and be taken seriously. The research has been compiled, the conversational table has been set with delicious morsels of facts, research, relationship, and experience, and now the meal can commence. This book will…

We can know God. Not just as a theory, or a vague idea, but as a person to interact with, talk to, and be loved by.

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.

”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 li…

Our cultural moment is unique because we aren't just post Christian, we're quite nearly pre-Christian. As a middle school teacher Nathan Sutherland saw the number of students who didn't have proper context to understand even simple Biblical text references from Western authors: baptism, floods, and overcoming giants. Today we discuss the idea of wh…

Today we begin a three-part series addressing a parent question about how we can use tech well. To begin, however, I need to address the elephant in the room: Tech isn't without goals of its own. Tech makes four promises it cannot keep, and we run into trouble when we begin to believe these lies and try to use tech to fulfill needs it cannot meet. …

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's conversation is aimed at the men in the room: Those same ones I've talked to about what it means to be a nerd dad. How can we be great husbands, fathers, and men in a digital age? What does that look like when Jesus never mentions the internet, smartphones, or video games? Today we'll talk about the clear standard we are given as men to liv…

iPhones are notoriously difficult to keep accountable and therefore to keep safe for young eyes and minds. Apple has doubled-down on user privacy at all cost, which means it is difficult for an iPhone to default to safety. It’s not surprising then that one of the questions I’ve been hearing a lot recently is how to protect, track, and mend mistakes…
