Help your family make entertainment and media choices

Instill Biblical Principles for Entertainment and Media Choices

The Bible is full of passages to help us navigate the culture. How can you help your children think biblically about topics like entertainment?

Marital Fidelity in a Social-Media World

For thousands of years, husbands and wives have been making bad decisions. But today, enticements often come with a new twist because of the anonymity and accessibility that come with social media.

Family Media Commitment

Consider taking a pledge as a family to honor God with your entertainment choices.

Setting Media Standards

The point is to maintain your family’s values without alienating your kids.

Talk Your Way Through Conflict

Disagreements can be healthy. Your whole family can grow closer by dealing thoughtfully and lovingly with media-related differences of opinion.

Encourage Positive Entertainment Alternatives

Discuss as a family what constitutes suitable positive and neutral entertainment — and how to find those types.
