Technology and Your Teenager ~ a Discussion with Steve Viars and Jonathan Smith
In the past week, two of my great friends, Steve Viars and Jonathan Smith, appeared on the podcast Biblical Counseling in Action, a podcast of the Faith Biblical Counseling Ministries in Lafayette, Indiana. Their subject was Technology and Your Teenager. In this discussion with Steve and Jonathan, they talk through ways that parents and grandparents ought to better handle technology in the home. With Christmas looming and many considering technology gifts to children and grandchildren, let me share this podcast with you. You will be very well-served if you choose to listen to this serious, but lighthearted, conversation. As a parent and grandparent myself, I have much to learn on this as well. I have not done it perfectly by any stretch of the imagination. Steve and Jonathan really help us. This podcast appeared on his Biblical Counseling in Action podcast. <<LISTEN BELOW>>

Jonathan Smith, Director of Technology at Faith Church and author of #RUHooked, shares insights on technology and parenting. He encourages parents to teach their children how to use technology responsibly, not just let them fail and figure it out on their own. He also encourages parents to be an example to their children, using technology responsibly themselves.
