Join us on Calibrate Conversations as we explore the profound influences of social media on today's youth, particularly those grappling with LGBTQ issues. In our first chapter, we examine how platforms like TikTok provide teenagers with a sense of validation, belonging, and identity, often conflicting with Christian teachings. Through a critical analysis of a YouTube podcast clip featuring lesbian women, we emphasize the importance of understanding these natural desires for connection and how they can be misdirected. We also underscore the necessity of discipleship and applying the gospel to transform hearts, drawing insights from the book of James to highlight the need to protect our children from harmful external influences.
In the following chapters, we address parenting decisions and the impact of smartphones and school environments on children. From the humorous moment when Rowan mistook a phone for a body part to a serious discussion about the anxiety technology causes in younger generations, we stress the importance of modeling responsible behavior and maintaining parental control. We also critique the overreach of public school systems in LGBTQ matters, advocating for alternatives like homeschooling in regions with problematic policies. Lastly, we encourage listeners to evaluate their own lives for worldly influences, set boundaries, and seek spiritual transformation to better navigate and model a Christ-centered life for their children. Tune in and equip yourself with insights to foster a heart aligned with your values.
Join us weekly as we strive help people embrace God's standard for sexuality!
