There is a lot of new tech coming out for Christmas, and the Q is asked: Should I get get my child (insert new amazing tech) device? To help, we want reviews of new VR set, that new smartphone and smart watch. We want to know if we should get that reader, tablet, or Echo Dot. We want more info on that PS5, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, and Steam Deck.Is it worth it? Should they have it? But the conversation is actually much simpler than that. It's now about whether they would enjoy this new toy, but rather do they love their life.

Gospel Tech is a resource for parents who are feeling outpaced and overwhelmed as they raise children in a tech world. Our goal: Equip parents with the tools, resources, and confidence they need to raise kids who love God and use tech. Gospel Tech’s mission is to equip families to love God and use tech. We want to empower parents to: <ol><li>Talk about healthy tech</li><li>Communicate the Gospel</li><li>Connect the hope of the Gospel to their everyday tech lives</li></ol> Introduction to Gospel Tech Three years ago I (Nathan) started Gospel Tech as a ministry to help connect the Gospel to the daily tech lives of families in practical ways. As a middle school teacher I saw a need for intentional, Gospel-focused conversations about tech. Tech was creating more distraction than inspiration in the classroom, and I saw the need for more than just new habits—there was a desperate need for new hearts. Gospel Tech bridges the gap between scary tech conversations and the hope of the Gospel. With engaging stories and practical applications I bring Gospel-centered tech solutions families can apply in everyday life.

We need to point them to the purpose and hope available in Christ, in the work he's already done to make them new and to call them on to good works, and then use tech from that hope. This is why I love to say that in Christ we use tech on purpose, not for purpose. That's the goal of Gospel Tech. Thanks for letting me be on this journey of parenting with you. -Nathan Sutherland
