How to Be a Tech-Wise Family
We all struggle with the role of technology in our daily lives. And overcoming that struggle without practical steps can often seem overwhelming.
"Making conscientious choices about technology in our lives is more than just using internet filters and determining screen time limits. It's about developing wisdom, character, and courage in the way we use digital media rather than accepting technology's promises of ease, instant gratification, and the world's knowledge at our fingertips."
-- Andy Crouch, The Tech-Wise Family
And it's not limited to being tech-wise in families alone, but as individuals and corporately as a church.
We hope you will join us in looking at practical, everyday steps we can take to let technology take on the proper role within our lives.

Daily Rhythms: An Introduction to the Book of Common Prayer
Many of us long to be the sort of people who regularly spend time in prayer and reading scripture. Some of us may even have made New Year's resolutions about this very thing.
However, the reality is that most of us aren't sure where to start and need some help in order to cultivate new, healthy spiritual habits.
While you already know that cultivating (and keeping) habits of prayer and scripture reading is hard, the good news is that the people of God have been tackling this challenge for a long time.
There are many good tools that the church has developed over the centuries to guide normal, everyday people in becoming people of prayer and scripture. One of those is the Book of Common Prayer.
