Technology has been a mixed experience for youth. They love technology, but they also know they need face to face interaction. To achieve the best balance for your group, this article helps you think through how to integrate technology into ministry.

We know that many families struggle with how and when to allow young people to use technology, including social media. Here we have listed several resources as well as an example of a family technology covenant.

In ministry we might talk about social media as the boogieman. Instead, here are five ways we can talk to youth about how we process what we see and consume on social media through the filter of our faith and set Christ-centered boundaries.

Technology has always been a fact moving and hard to hit target, but with the changes that have taken place since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, that pace has accelerated faster than any might have anticipated. If we focus on the Gospel, we stand a much better chance of making deliberate and intentionally wise choices with our finite resources.

We want to meet young people where they are at with the Gospel, but modern technology presents youth workers with an extra layer of challenge. As you navigate social media, it is important to consider how to manage risk so both you and your youth are protected and cared for.
