Listen Later

Is social media turning your kids into digital zombies? You wouldn’t believe how much time the average person will spend scrolling their phone in a lifetime, but the effects that endless scrolling is having on today’s youth is becoming more and more apparent. Is there anything that concerned parents can do to safeguard the well-being of vulnerable children, teens, and young adults from the tech industry’s attacks?

In this midweek podcast episode, Jorge Gil sounds the alarm on the negative impact that the overuse of technology is having on our modern culture and how it’s brainwashing younger generations. A pressing issue hiding in plain sight, parents and even grandparents have the huge responsibility to stay in the know when it comes to their children’s online interactions. During this episode, Jorge will answer questions like:

  • In what ways is social media lying to you and your children?
  • What is the connection between social media and depression rates among young people?
  • What practical rules can you put in place to protect kids from their devices?
  • How long does the average person spend scrolling everyday?
  • How can Christians use technology for good instead of evil?
  •  

    Phone addiction doesn’t discriminate, but the good news is, you can do something about it if you tackle it now! This episode will give you a lot to think about as Jorge exposes the dangers of allowing young people to have too much access to social media without any accountability. Jorge will also give you the tools you need to fight back against the tech industry’s digital assault on your family and share practical advice on how to use technology in a way that honors God.
