THIS MONTH’S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Child to Have Wisdom

Should you get your child a device for Christmas? Allow them to have the latest social media apps?

Our children are guinea pigs in many ways. They are living a life we never lived, or at least living it in a way we never had access to because of social media and cell phones. Research is just now coming out about the impact of social media and cell phone usage on our children, especially post-pandemic, when our children were most likely on their devices more than any of us were thrilled about. 

This episode is the first of a 2-part interview with Chris McKenna, of Protect Young Eyes, about the impact of social media on our children. In it, we tackle questions like:

  1. What's the updated research on how social media is affecting our kids? Specifically post-pandemic?

  2. What are some general principles for parents who are talking to their kids about social media?

  3. How should they approach their kids?

  4. What's important for parents to know about their children, and about how social media works?

Don't miss this important episode friends. It sets the tone for part two, airing next week, where Chris leads us through a deep dive on the top five social media apps...what they are and how they work. 

Tune in now!

THIS MONTH’S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Child to Have Wisdom

The Bible tells us that there are basically only two types of people—the foolish and the wise.

The Proverbs are filled with wisdom for Christian living, and serve as a guide, helping us know how to make decisions, which paths to take, and how to understand the life God has called us to live as believers.

Doesn’t that sound exactly like what you want God to accomplish in your child’s heart?
