Raising Media-Wise Teenagers
Like the woman whose son wears T-shirts
that advertise bands known for horiffic lyrics, many parents have "no
idea" what’s really happening in their teenager’s entertainment world.
Having "no idea" when it comes to the world of media is not an option these days.

After
all, many of our kids watch television in their rooms, don private headsets
when they’re in our vehicles, and head off to the local cineplex with a simple,
"See you later." But for Christian parents committed to passing the "faith baton"
to their children, having "no idea" when it comes to the world of media is not
an option these days.
After spending nearly the past decade immersed in the world of pop culture,
we’ve made some observations we feel can be helpful to families. If you’re
interested in getting a handle on today’s entertainment and coming up
with a plan for teaching your family discernment in their media choices, we’d
like to come alongside and offer our help and encouragement.
