Technology isn’t evil—but it is powerful. And in today’s culture, media shapes minds faster than almost anything else. As parents, we are not just raising children—we’re guarding hearts. If we’re not actively leading our families through the noise, the noise will lead them away from truth.

Our springboard for today’s discussion is:"Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure… think about these things." — Philippians 4:8

Our kids are growing up with access to everything—entertainment, opinions, ideologies, and temptations—all at the touch of a screen. The question isn’t if they’ll be influenced, but who will be the loudest voice in that influence.

God is calling us to lead with discernment, not fear. To guide our children into tech wisdom—not tech dependence. To train them not just to avoid darkness, but to pursue light.

This means setting clear, Spirit-led boundaries:

* Limit screen time so hearts have time to rest.

* Filter content—not just with apps, but with prayer and conversation.

* Model purity and wisdom in your own tech use.

* Talk with your kids regularly about what they’re watching, reading, and hearing—not in interrogation, but with invitation.

We’re not called to isolate our kids—we’re called to equip them. Teach them to ask:“Does this show reflect God’s truth?”“Is this app building me up or tearing me down?”“Do I feel closer to God—or numb—after this?”

These are the kinds of questions that shape strong, discerning disciples.

God wants to be Lord over the devices in your home, too. And when we place even our screens under His authority, we create space for His voice to rise above the noise.

Question of the Day:What digital boundary do you need to set—or reset—in your home this week?

Mini Call to Action:Have a conversation with your family tonight. Invite everyone to help choose one new tech boundary you’ll all honor together for the next 7 days.

Let’s Pray:Lord, give us wisdom to lead our homes in truth. Help us guard what enters our hearts and minds. Let our homes be filled with what is pure, what is holy, and what reflects Your voice. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Let’s Get To Work!Your home doesn’t have to be controlled by culture—let it be led by Christ.
