Is technology just a neutral tool—or is it actually shaping who we and our children are becoming?
Smartphones, social media, video games, and artificial intelligence are woven into nearly every part of our kids’ lives. But before Christian parents can help their children navigate technology wisely, we need to ask a bigger question: What does the Bible say about technology?
In this episode of Upside-Down Parenting, Matt Jones and Janel Greig sit down with Ryan Pauly to explore a biblical worldview of technology. Ryan explains why technology isn’t merely about the content we consume, how our identity as image-bearers shapes human creativity, and how the Fall affects both the technologies we create and the ways we use them.
They also explore some of the biggest questions facing Christian parents today: Is technology really neutral? How does it shape our habits, desires, relationships, and thinking? What might kids lose when childhood moves from the real world to the digital world? And how should Christians think about artificial intelligence?
Ryan also explains how parents can help kids benefit from AI without outsourcing critical thinking, creativity, perseverance, writing, and wisdom.
Technology isn’t going away. The goal isn’t simply to embrace it or reject it, but to understand it and steward it wisely.
