  1. The Tech-Wise Family

    2. The age in which we are raising children is an age of technology. We cannot simply ignore or assume the use of technology. Instead, as Christians we have to be informed, strategic, and responsive to how our family and specifically our kids are engaging with various forms of technology (especially cell phones).
