The Family Discipleship Podcast

OQ: How Does Your Family Handle Technology?

Episode Summary

Adam shares the Griffin family’s simple playbook: no phones for the kids, no social media, tight filters on computers/TV, Kindles with internet off, and zero YouTube on the TV. Tools help, but the bigger goal is discipling hearts to love what’s good—and adding real accountability in community.

Episode Notes

In this mini-episode Adam answers your most-asked question with their real setup: landline + watch for calls, curated contacts, filtered schoolwork, locked streaming profiles, and kids’ Kindles set to read-only. He reminds us software can help, but the win is shaping hearts, building accountability, and choosing holiness together.
