Parents and Technology

Technology brings many benefits to our lives. But excessive screen time can create a flat, one-dimensional existence. We were made for the rich-three dimensional experience of relationship with God and one another. So, while technology is great for some types of communication, it is no substitute for real-world, face-to-face connection.

Do you control your devices or are they starting to control you? How about your family? In a culture where everyone seems more "connected" than ever, how do we nurture real connection with the most important people in our lives? 

I want to invite you to join us at Hardy Street Baptist Church for a special sermon series on technology and the family! God's Word has a great deal to say about how we are to interact with people and with technology... I hope you'll join us!
