Jeff Jerina asks important and crucial questions that all men, dads and parents need to know as it relates to social media with your pre teen and teenager right now.

What can we do to protect our kids in social media. Be intentional with social media. If your child or kids are on social media then you need to be on the same account. It' not just about accountability but it's to show them that you and your kids are going to be doing life together even online. The first people they should be connected with is you as a father as a parent.

Staggering numbers to really get your attention as a parent. The information offered on the Men Unplugged show from Brian Housman are to give you the resources and encouragement to protect your kids on social media as a dad as a parent especially for those with pre-teens and teenagers (teens and tweens).

This podcast interview will kickstart your day as you experience the Bible through a real life Indiana Jones like archeologist Dr. Steven Smith.

Reminder that even the power of Rome could not stop the growth of the early church. Dr. Smith tells Men Unplugged listeners that he and his archeological team have gone to Israel and found some amazing ancient biblical treasure. Some of these include digging up the early church.

Steven Smith talks about ancient gold tablets written on in ancient Greek (first century Greek) out of Israel. No one was able to translate these tablets in the heads of language departments in seven universities across the world. Dr. Smith was the only one that could translate these ancient tablets. His specialty is early Greek.

He has taught himself through hours and hours of research and work studying ancient Greek. This has opened up information with pictures or icons which are a language in themselves. Similar to these tablets acting like a Rosetta Stone. Dr. Smith notes that this is key in understanding the history of the early church. Dr. Smith notes that the archeological sites in Israel he has seen have an icon on them, most do not have inscriptions.

Jeff asks what the significance of Dr. Smith's findings in Israel are for a Christian today. The significance is to understand the early church as Jesus Christ designed it. The elements we're missing in the church today. The passion, the fire. How did the early believers know so matter of factly that God is real; that the Bible is real and that Jesus Christ is the Messiah and that he is returning. They knew it so matter of factly that they were willing to die for it. How, because they saw it everyday. What if we had just a fraction of that passion in our hearts in our churches today. Jeff states there would be an evangelistic boom or effort across the entire globe.

Dr. Smith talks about the rebuilding of the temple in Israel. He notes initially the temple was an object lesson for the Israelites. It taught God's people about the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only sacrifice we need. Jesus is the High Priest. Jesus died for everyone. Every element of the temple declares Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Dr. Smith looks at Revelation 7 and the tribulation.

Jeff encourages men to tell others (co-workers, neighbors, whoever) about Jesus Christ because we need to be acting like warriors of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Smith explains the significance of his work for non-believers.

One thing that Christianity has over other religions is our archeology. Followers of Jesus Christ can back up the inerrancy of the Bible through archeological evidence.

Jeff and Steve talk about setting up a special deal for Men Unplugged listeners to go to Israel on tour with Dr. Smith to see the early church sites and more areas from biblical times.

Dr. Smith shares the impact of his work in Israel on his own life. He states that he feels like he is reading the Bible for the first time because it helps the Bible make so much more sense. Because he's been there to the actual sites from the Old and New Testament.

Dr. Smith talks about the rebuilt temple in Israel.

Jesus Christ has already conquered death so as believers we have no fear.

Dr. Smith talks about their highly secure dig sights in Israel and his finding of the oldest ancient Hebrew inscription, alphabetic inscription and the oldest inscription found on earth today (4,000 years old). It goes back to the patriarchs almost back to Noah's ark and this inscription proves that Israel was in the land a long long time ago. The site they found is the second holiest site in the Bible.

Dr. Smith talks about a television series being put together on these archeological sites he and his team are looking at.

Jeff asks Dr. Smith to talk about his teams archeology work and if there was ever a time they found something they did not expect. Dr. Smith mentions that the first time he went to Shiloh where the tabernacle stood. Dr. Smith excavated a place listed in the Old Testament, Eli's house.

Dr. Smith talks a little about keeping the Shabbat. He talks about Church history.

Steve Smith gives a brief overview of the sites that a man will see on Dr. Smiths tours.

He can take you to places Jesus Christ walked, where Mary was born. These places will make the Bible come alive. Five star accommodations. Doing more in 2 days than most tours go to in two weeks. Dr. Smith can take you to see Mt. Sinai where Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The price of his tours are all inclusive except the souvenirs you want to buy. Jeff and Dr. Smith will be working on a special tour package for Men Unplugged listeners to travel to Israel on a tour guided by Dr. Smith.

Steven Smith shares his testimony and how he came to place his faith in Jesus Christ at the age of six.
