There is "tool tech" such as shovels, violins, and 3D Printers, and then there is "drool tech," which pervades digital space. How do we raise our children well in the midst of these devices fueling distraction and depression? How do we promote creativity over consumption? How do we help our kids live from the hope they have in the gospel rather than for the hope offered in screens?Nathan Sutherland is the founder of Gospel Tech, an organization that helps parents who are feeling outpaced and overwhelmed as they raise children in a tech world. He joins us today to help us understand the difference between tool tech and drool tech, how to set hudges (not walls) with our kids, and how the gospel changes the way we parent.Check out Nathan's website, and download free resources today at: https://www.gospeltech.net/0:00 Intro1:10 - The Story of Gospel Tech3:35 - Tool Tech vs Drool Tech7:00 - Operant Conditioning12:30 - How to audit tech use with RESET17:03 - Gospel Tech Parenting20:00 - Lack of tool tech, AI, and the next generation34:02 - Building a Hedge46:32 - Best websites to learn about the appropriateness of certain movies47:20 - Best websites to learn about the appropriateness of certain video games48:55 - Bible verses to talk about tech50:08 - What do you do if you've made a parenting tech mistake?Notes:The Brain That Changes Itself by Norman DoidgeThe Mind and the Brain by Jeffrey M.
