Gospel Tech with Nathan Sutherland

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. This is a lie, and it brings harm and death to many hearts and families. Today we discuss what to do with hidden sins: why they matter, how to address them, and how to apply the gospel of Jesus Christ to the darkest and most hurt areas of our lives.

My new book, Gospel-Centered Tech, equips parents, leaders, and mentors talk about tech health, communicate the gospel, and connect the hope of the gospel to everyday life. My hope is that every family will know the terms Tool and Drool Tech, will understand how to apply a RESET, and will use tech on purpose, not for purpose, as they live out the fullness of life God has called them to. The book is short and sweet, and it's coming out next week (August 13th!).
