A Generation Raised on Technology

Raising kids today is certainly different than a generation ago. There are many different ways that technological innovations have made parenting (and life in general) much easier. In other ways, digital technology and information access have actually complicated our approach to raising kids.

There’s an argument to be made that technology is actually hindering parents’ ability to impart, maintain and preserve moral standards, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. Additionally, there’s no question that it plays a role in the influence of young people to leave the church in droves.

What can we do to better establish a biblical worldview in our kids? How can we remain relevant in a society that marginalizes people of faith? Can digital technology actually be part of the solution rather than just part of the problem?
