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!).

Young people are asked this question from the time they can speak. Yet what we do isn't as important as who we are while we're doing it. In today's conversation we'll discuss what we're called to do as followers of Christ, and reflect on whether our current goals and achievements (or failures) in the area of a career line up with who God is calling us to be.

It's a story I'm hearing more and more often:

• a high school junior who swapped Instagram for Whatsapp to reclaim her goals and time
• a twenty year old who deleted social media to spend more time in his own life rather than the lives of others
• a college senior who asked his mom to put parental controls on his smartphone to help him focus on his schooling and career

Today we talk about how we can use all the tech that helps us be more like Jesus, and none of the tech that distracts us from Him.
