As I'm recording this from Washington State new measures are going in on this escalating virus pandemic: No groups larger than 50 can meet (so most churches are down), schools are closed for six weeks, and as of this morning all restaurants are closed for two weeks. 
We all fear six weeks without plans with our kiddos and no outside resources or activities that can be counted on. But in the midst of all the crazy, what should we be doing? We hear lots of verses thrown around about not feeling anxious, but what about the anxiety I feel? Do I just tell myself to stop? I know I should’t fear, but I do, so now what?
In this episode I will share four encouragements we can all take to heart to help us love God and be faithful with the opportunities we’re given in this crazy season. We will:
<ol>
 <li>Focus on what is true</li>
 <li>Be a helper</li>
 <li>Reclaim the time</li>
 <li>Have a plan</li>
</ol>
This is a season we need to be reminded that fear is real, this world is broken, and God is working in it and through it and has invited us to be a part of that work. I hope this episode encourages you and equips you to better love God and use tech.

Episode 7: Four Encouragements Amidst Covid 19

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
