I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

253. Low Tech Parenting with Erin Loechner   I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. Psalm 101:3   Questions We Cover: Especially for us as parents, what are some motives of the big tech companies that capitalize on our naivety? What are some ways we can borrow the attractive features from social media to optimize influence within our home, as parents? What other ideas do you have for using our homes to build strategic family rhythms where all members can grow and flourish?   Erin Loechner is the founder of global tech-free movement, The Opt-Out Family. Erin is a former social media influencer who walked away from a million fans to live a low-tech lifestyle—and is now teaching others how to do the same. Her cutting-edge work has been praised in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Huffington Post, as well as on the Today Show. When she's not scrawling on her trusty steno pad, Erin, her husband, and their three kids spend their days chasing alpenglow, reading Kipling, and biking to town for more tortillas.   Opt Out Family Website   Other Recommended Podcasts on This Topic: 170 Mastering Technology so it Does Not Master You with Dr. Sylvia Hart Frejd   228 Stewarding Technology for More Intentional Relationships  with Joey Odom   226 Tech-Savvy Family with Paul Asay of The Plugged In Staff   195 Tech and Parenting with Molly DeFrank   91 Technology and Parenting with Arlene Pellicane   Erin's Book Recommendations: Caddie Woodlawn Pilgrim's Progress Honey for a Child's Heart   Thank You to Our Sponsor: Leman Property Management Company   Connect with The Savvy Sauce on Facebook or Instagram or Our Website   Please help us out by sharing this episode with a friend, leaving a 5-star rating and review, and subscribing to this podcast!   Gospel Scripture: (all NIV)   Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”    Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”    Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”    Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.

With the holiday season fast approaching, families are gearing up for the influx of new technology, but how can we ensure that our screen time remains safe and purposeful?  Patti and Paul dive deep into the pressing question of how to navigate the media-saturated world that our children are growing up in. They discuss the alarming statistics regarding children's screen use, including a study revealing that the average American child receives their first smartphone at just 11.6 years old. With families spending an average of $1,480 annually on electronics, it's vital to approach these purchases with intention and awareness.  Paul shares his passion for helping parents create meaningful connections with media. He offers practical strategies for fostering healthy, Christ-centered relationships with technology, emphasizing the importance of open dialogues with children about media trends. Listeners will learn how to set appropriate boundaries and make informed decisions when selecting tech gifts that align with their family values.  Throughout the episode, Paul also highlights the significance of teaching children discernment in their media choices, especially as they grow older and seek more independence. He addresses potential warning signs that excessive screen time may negatively impact a child's mental and emotional well-being and provides actionable steps for parents to become more screen savvy this holiday season.  Join Patti and Paul for a conversation filled with wisdom, encouragement, and essential tips for navigating new tech in a way that honors God and nurtures the hearts of our girls.   Learn more about Paul's work with PluggedIn, visit pluggedin.com  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org    Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com
