Episode 158
Parents across the globe differ in age, culture, faiths, political allegiance, and personal standards, but they would generally agree that we must protect our children from any threat. We are to protect them from dangerous situations and dangerous people (including themselves!) but today, a mutated threat has emerged with breakneck speed and incredible complexity: social media. It is many things at once: useful and useless, helpful and detrimental, empowering and enslaving. Such is the concern about this technology that in late January of 2024, U.S. lawmakers grilled the CEOs of the most popular social media platforms to discover what can be done to protect vulnerable children from its malicious capabilities. On this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we will discuss a portion of this senate judiciary hearing. Does the Bible have anything to say on the subject, or is it too old and unrelatable? How can we protect ourselves and our children from the often corrosive effects of social media? We had a few ideas in the podcast, but we invite you to interact in the comments section or by reaching out to us directly: how do you think we can protect our kids from social media?
