The concept and presence of media have become the modern-day parable that has forever altered how we interact with our world. I have come to realize a growing disconnect – both youth and parents are struggling with applying their Christian beliefs to the media that engages them daily.
When we interact with our culture, we take action and when we think about what we are absorbing, we connect it to ourselves and our lives. As Christians, we must actively be involved with our culture without blindly accepting it as true.

Pascal said it wonderfully, “The greatest enemy of the spiritual life was inattention, complacency.”

No more thoughtless watching.
No more thoughtless listening.
No more thoughtless online activity.
No more thoughtless anything…
Christianity is a strategic, intentional daily pursuit.

For parents: Growing up, we didn't have the Internet, our friends didn't cut themselves and text messaging wasn't even on the radar. Today's young people are bombarded by media of all kinds, and they have instant access to any subject and topic of their choosing. Their media-saturated lives are inescapably inundated by chat rooms, movies, instant messaging and other technologies. How do we help guide our children to live Godly lives amidst this cultural climate?

This seminar can be used by students, parents or leaders and is meant to open the eyes of participants to the trends in modern media, their potential effects on our lives and what a Christian response to this cultural paradox ought to resemble.
