Shepherding Families in Technology on this edition of Truth and Love.

I'm Dale Johnson and you're listening to Truth and Love, a podcast of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

where we seek to provide biblical solutions to the problems that people face.

This week, I'm delighted to have with me on the podcast, Spencer Harmon. He serves as the

Nocatty campus pastor at First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida. Prior to coming to

First Baptist, he served as a senior pastor at Vine Street Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, and he worked

in higher education.

He's a certified biblical counselor through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors,

and he is the co-author of three books, Letters to a Romantic, On Dating, Letters to a Romantic

on Engagement, and Letters to a Romantic the First Years.

I give these books out all the time, Spencer.

And Spencer has been married to Taylor for 10 years, and they have four children. They love spending time outside in beautiful Florida weather and being with their church family at First Baptist.

Brother, welcome to the podcast. So grateful for your time today.

Glad to be here. What an interesting subject. And listen, I'm just going to tell you, I'm going to sit and glean from this today.

I have children who are right in the middle of dealing with this whole technology thing.

And so you're going to shepherd me a little bit today as I think about and brainstorm.

What is the best way to use a great resource, but also something

that can be harmful and damaging. And so I'm looking forward to this conversation today. Always,

when we think about technology, of course, it's helpful and beneficial, but we can't help but think

about some of the pitfalls. I want you to identify Spencer, if you can, some of those common

pitfalls that you see

families falling into when it comes to technology in the home. Yeah, absolutely. It's interesting.
