Description

Gospel Tech is a resource for parents who are feeling outpaced and overwhelmed as they raise children in a tech world. Our goal: Equip parents with the tools, resources, and confidence they need to raise kids who love God and use tech. Gospel Tech’s mission is to equip families to love God and use tech. We want to empower parents to: Talk about healthy techCommunicate the GospelConnect the hope of the Gospel to their everyday tech lives Introduction to Gospel Tech Three years ago I (Nathan) started Gospel Tech as a ministry to help connect the Gospel to the daily tech lives of families in practical ways. As a middle school teacher I saw a need for intentional, Gospel-focused conversations about tech. Tech was creating more distraction than inspiration in the classroom, and I saw the need for more than just new habits—there was a desperate need for new hearts. Gospel Tech bridges the gap between scary tech conversations and the hope of the Gospel. With engaging stories and practical applications I bring Gospel-centered tech solutions families can apply in everyday life. Gospel Tech Resources Beyond The Podcast The Parent Tech Workshops: A two-part series addressing:How should we handle Tech’s Big 3 (smartphones, gaming, pornography)?How do we make tech safe at home? (two types of tech, tech health, and building tech trust)Youth Talks:The Tech Talk: Use the best tech on purpose, not for purpose.The Hope Talk: A conversation about our goals, purpose, and how making a mistake doesn’t make us a mistake.The Family Tech Framework: A two-hour workshop where families leave with the words to say and the plan in place for healthy tech at home and in daily life.Part 1: Talk It Out: Parents learn key points of discussing healthful tech.Part 2: Walk It Out: Families work together to create a Family Tech Framework customized to their needs, goals, and season of life. At the end of the day our children aren't problems to fix, they're people to love. We need to point them to the purpose and hope available in Christ, in the work he's already done to make them new and to call them on to good works, and then use tech from that hope. This is why I love to say that in Christ we use tech on purpose, not for purpose. That's the goal of Gospel Tech. Thanks for letting me be on this journey of parenting with you. -Nathan Sutherland

Child Safety Online

2026/04/21

WARNING: The subject matter, and the content itself, can be triggering. I include this so you can be informed, but use prayerful discretion when it comes to how much you really need to know to be loving and helpful for your family, children, and community. Did you know it takes 17 strikes for a child predator to be banned on Meta's platforms? After five, eight, fourteen reported violations the perpetrator will still be active, and only after the seventeenth will the account be taken down. Wild. The good news is, there are a lot of ways to have fun at the pace of real life. I'm currently on a kick about seeing students get a chance for 6th grade camp again.

Encore: Porn is a Lie (Newly Relevant for 2026)

2026/02/17

I've been at a conference this week with thousands of Jesus loving people from around the country, and the conversation on walking in freedom from pornography is relevant and needed. It is relevant because people are hungry to see themselves, or their brothers and sisters in Christ, walk in the freedom Christ has won for them. It is needed because few churches are having this conversation well. We love to talk about how someone used to struggle, and we love to talk about how we should never view it in the first place. We don't often get into how we can walk in freedom if we are currently struggling. This episode can help us change that.Please listen, share, and then pray about how the Lord is asking you to engage the body of Christ to see all of our members free from the bonds of sin, and walking in the freedom Christ has won for us.

Parenting AI: Deepfakes and S**tortion (Part 2)

2026/02/10

CONTENT WARNING: We’re diving into the tough but important topic of parenting in an AI-shaped world, and while younger kids probably shouldn’t listen in, this could be a great conversation to share with your middle or high schoolers so it feels more like learning together than an interrogation. My hope is that this equips you to parent well as we raise kids in a world shaped by AI. Today we continue our conversation on parenting AI with a look at deepfakes and s**tortion. These are big topics that have an outsized impact on children. We need to know what they are, how they happen, and what to do if our child is targeted. The goal is to be a present, and informed, parent so that your children they need to grow. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4qfOCiG

Parenting AI: Relational AI (Part 1)

2026/02/03

CONTENT WARNING:We’re diving into the tough but important topic of parenting in an AI-shaped world, and while younger kids probably shouldn’t listen in, this could be a great conversation to share with your middle or high schoolers so it feels more like learning together than an interrogation. My hope is that this equips you to parent well as we raise kids in a world shaped by AI. The first step to parenting AI well is to know what is out there. Relational AI is an AI assistant designed to be a sort of digital companion. There are many drawbacks to how it is current designed, and Common Sense Media says these are so unsafe they shouldn't be used by anyone under the age of 18. That's concerning because 3/5 teens use them, and 1/3 say they like them as much or more than real life people. Today's conversation will equip you to begin parenting this tech well from hope, and with a proper respect for the possible dangers it presents. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/49ViagB

Parenting Video Games Well (START HERE)

2026/01/27

Is your child ready to play video games? If they already play, how do you know if it's going well. First we need to look at our children in real-world activities, because if they're faithful in little they can be faithful in much, and then assess their RESET to ensure the tech they use produces good fruit. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/45OiGKP

Three Mistakes We Make Parenting Video Games (START HERE)

2026/01/20

We make three mistakes when parenting video games.

We can focus on the high priorities, build healthy real-world friendships, and choose the activities that make our children more of who God has created them to be. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/45f5239

Parenting Smartphones (START HERE)

2026/01/13

You can parent a smartphone well. This episode will help. Before you start, ensure that this tech is safe (enough) for your child, that your child is ready, and then keep an eye out for good fruit coming from it. After that, parenting a smartphone comes down to building hedges around your family, the device, and remembering that your network hedge doesn't effect a smartphone.
