145. Hope in a Digital World

Hope can be hard to come by in a digital world. We are surrounded by bad news, inundated with people doing better than us, and constantly teased with promises of a better life if we only play that game, watch that show, use that product. When we talk to our children about technology, and parent them in a tech world, we need to remember that hope means having a reason for today and a purpose for tomorrow. As Christians we find that in Christ, and it influences the shows we watch, apps we use, games we play, and tech we use as a family.Today's conversation revolves around three reasons for hope that I want every child to hear from a caring adult: 1. Little choices matter (and that's a good thing) 2. Everyone has a purpose 3. It's never too late to be greatTimeline: 0:00: Hope Intro1:45: Thank Yous4:00: Healthy Tech Partner — Lome!
