In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Stephanie sits down with Chris McKenna, founder of Protect Young Eyes and author of 5 Habits for the Tech-Wise Family, to discuss practical, biblical strategies for protecting children's hearts and minds in today's digital culture. Rather than parenting from fear, Chris encourages families to lead with relationship, intentionality, and clear family values. Together, they explore why technology is not merely a personal preference issue but a discipleship issue that affects the spiritual, emotional, and relational health of the entire family.
