Summary

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to unplug from all “smart” devices and return to the simplicity of a landline and a knock on the screen door? 

Erin Loechner brings her passion for educating families on ways to avoid common technological pitfalls, as well as her love of slow living to the show today for a fascinating conversation with someone truly willing to practice what she preaches.

Plus, I love the fact that she brings all of her stories and data back to God’s Word and His Truth.
