It is no surprise that we are living in a media age. Living out our own Christian faith amidst technology is a challenge for adults. The stakes seem even higher when teaching our children and teens how to interact and navigate life in this modern internet saturated world. My guest Chris Martin has worked in the field of technology and marketing for years. I really appreciate his insight for Christian parents asking really great questions such as, "Does the algorithm change you?" and "Does social media serve you or, do you serve it?" I think you too will appreciate his sober view of media.

This is a praise episode as we join my guest Korri in celebrating 30 years since her cancer diagnosis. She really was too young to have thyroid cancer yet that was her reality. A big take away from today's show is that God loves you and He is intimately involved in our lives individually.

Whether you are expecting your first child or have been parenting for a number of years, we all benefit from taking a moment to look at our parenting style and our lives and ask ourselves, "What kind of parent do I want to be?" Angie shares from her heart to encourage and equip us in this gift of motherhood. As we consider our parenting goals and our history let's battle the lies we have believed and instead speak truth, speak life and continue to be refined by God as He transforms our parenting.
