BEST QUOTES “It’s not about screens, it’s not about limits, and it’s not about the kids.” “One hour a day, one day a week, and one week a year, everything with an off switch gets turned off.” “One of the things about being a public person is lots of people know you and no one knows you.” “What we are thinking about is how you have growth without sacrificing depth.” “I start a lot of books, but I don’t finish many.” “If it’s an author really worth listening to, wherever they take me is in the long run going to be helpful to me.” “We are going to be tempted to turnover to these machine-based learning systems decision making power and it’s not going to do it in a way that honors human beings.” “I breathe, and look up and around, and it has been so revolutionary in my life.” “Leadership for me is proactively making healthy choices on behalf of our family about when we use these devices and when we don’t.” “What my kids need is for me to find a way to invite them into the life they are meant for rather than dictate that life.” RECOMMENDED RESOURCES Lifeway Leadership Podcast Network The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place by Andy Crouch Strong and Weak by Andy Crouch Praxis The Great Transformation by Karl Polanyi Leighton Ford Ministries Persons: The Difference Between Someone and Something by Robert Spaemann Blueprint Coaching Text “blueprint” to 888111 for more information on Blueprint Coaching Rainer on Leadership Podcast
