10. We’re Protecting Kids from the Wrong Things | John Ortberg & Laura Turner

The lines between physical and digital reality are increasingly blurred, especially for children. Today’s conversation between John and his daughter Laura, reminds us that spiritual formation and family life are happening at the same time. Often in the midst of unprecedented technological change. The challenge, then, is not to fear technology but to become wise in how we use it, especially when it comes to guiding the next generation. We need parents, mentors, and spiritual friends, who are willing to help young people stay grounded in the real world—where eye contact, touch, boredom, and community shape our souls far more deeply than curated images or trending videos. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time. 📲 For daily alerts, text the word BECOME to the number 855-888-0444 Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/ John's new book STEPS is out!
