Practical tips to ensure your kid’s phone is safe

Parents must understand smartphones
Smartphones have very effective parental controls built in, but you must do your homework to understand them.

Verify parental control settings often. Software updates can reset settings, leaving your kid’s phone open to danger.
Keep software up to date on all devices, and be sure to understand any changes to the software.

Apps
Delete any apps that are not needed

Remember that social media apps are full of explicit content with very little parental control

Adjust settings to ensure kids can’t install apps without parental approval
Research all apps before installing

Healthy Boundaries
Before you give them a phone, ensure they understand that this is not their phone. It’s your phone, and you allow them to use it

  • Make it clear there is no privacy regarding their phone use
  • Check photos, search history, text messages, etc., regularly
  • Set time limits for use in the phone settings
  • Allow phone use in common areas only. Never allow phones to be taken to bed.
  • Ensure you do not share administrative passwords with your kids.
  • Add Age-related restrictions for content in apps, books, TV shows, and movies
  • Clearly communicate and enforce consequences for any rule violation

The Death of Porn: Men of Integrity Building a World of Nobility

Your Battle against Porn Isn’t about Porn. It’s about Hope.

Pornography may seem inescapable, but God can free us from its destructive power. The gospel replaces the dehumanizing lies of pornography with this surprising truth: God created us as royalty. How then can we reclaim our God-given identity to take a stand against―and ultimately starve―the predatory porn industry?

In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son. Ideal for individuals and small groups, it will give hope to men who have been misled by porn into devaluing themselves and others. Through Scripture and personal stories, Ortlund assures readers that God loves them the most tenderly in their moments of deepest shame. The Death of Porn inspires men to come together in new ways to fight the injustice of porn and build a world of nobility for every man and woman―for the sake of future generations.
