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 live humbly before our God, and what that looks like when it comes to being sober minded, above reproach, and the husband of but one wife.

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 made on an iPhone.

In today’s conversation we’ll talk about why iPhones are so difficult to keep accountable, how we can handle tough tech conversations about the content and choices our children might be making online, and what next-steps we can take to improve the safety and health of our children when they use their smart devices.

Sometimes our tech is just a little too far for fun. Instead of using it because we're ok, we find we need it to be ok. In today's conversation we'll learn from the work of Anna Lembke, professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. Her book Dopamine Nation has been an encouragement and reminder, and in today's conversation we'll discuss how tech can become unhealthy, how we can fix it, and what we can do to create healthful tech habits in our own lives and homes.

*NOTE: This episode might be one to listen with ear buds in, as this topic is sensitive for young kids.

Pornography is a conversation frought with emotional, societal, and spiritual baggage. It's something we'd like to pretend doesn't exist, and especially something that our children will never have to deal with. The problem is, they will—and making them deal with it alone isn't helpful. ENTER: Today's conversation! We're going to talk about what to know about pornography, how to address it purposely, and some resources to help make a plan that is hope-focused and lovingly direct.

Every parent is likely to face the question: "Can I get a smartphone?" As a parent there is a double-sided fear: I don't want to say no out of reflex, because I'm old and don't understand, and I don't want to say yes out of guilt and give my child something dangerous or unhealthful. What can we do? Today we'll talk through the five cautions to understand with a smartphone, the age our children should get a smartphone, and how we can support healthy tech choices along the way.

This week we continue our conversation on making tech safe at home by asking the age old question: Which tech should my child use? We know what type of tech it is thanks to the first episode in this series, we also know if it's healthy, and we've built hedges to keep it that way. Today we'll go one step further and learn to assess the tech our children ask for so they're both ready, and healthy, when new tech comes into your home.
