In Ecclesiastes, it says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to weep, a time to laugh
A time to keep silent and a time to speak
A time to be notified and a time to silence notifications
A time to look at screens, and a time for screens to be put away
Okay, I might have paraphrased a bit there. On today’s show we take a look at our connectedness – our connectedness to our devices and most importantly our connectedness to our God. Joining us on our journey today is author and principal Dr. Jake Hollatz who will help guide us as we strive to teach our children “how to be God’s faithful people in a digital world”
