The issue of technology is the most common concern for parents today. Children in the digital age are growing up as “digital natives,” often spending between seven and nine hours a day in front of screens. Dr. Josh Mulvihill joins Dr. Jessica Peck to discuss how media acts as a form of digital discipleship, shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation.

Instead of responding with fear or guilt, parents are encouraged to lead with intentionality and ask better questions about what is shaping their children. This conversation offers practical guidance on setting healthy boundaries, such as delaying smartphones and social media as long as possible. By providing compelling real-life alternatives and maintaining strong relationships, parents can steward technology for God’s glory.

Key takeaways include understanding the power of algorithms in forming worldviews and the importance of having a predetermined plan for media usage in the home. Dr. Mulvihill emphasizes that while screens can be useful tools, they require proper guidance and training to prevent them from replacing essential flesh-and-blood relationships.
