People feel more overwhelmed than ever, could it be what we are feeding our minds? What we saturate our minds with daily will contribute to feeling overwhelmed or joyful.  Technology can be incredibly useful but also has the potential for harm. Do we get rid of the smartphones or become more disciplined with them? That’s a choice for each family, but Isaac and Angie Tolpin make an argument that our children need to see us model self-discipline with technology and as they get older help them be self-disciplined in how they use technology as well while they are in our homes.

Main Points From This Episode:

• Does your spouse feel comfortable sharing with you what they are overwhelmed or concerned about in life or do you only share what’s on your mind?
• How much of the world do you consume compared to God’s word?
• Be careful that others don’t pressure you in directions that are good but not the best.
• Work as a marriage to decide on project and initiatives
• Do you believe it’s important to equip your children to use technology well and with self-discipline?  If so then we need to model that and equip them to be effective with technology before they launch our homes.
• Sometimes people get rid of something completely instead of utilizing the good and being more disciplined so that it’s only a good thing for the family.
• We simply can’t do it all
