52. How Can We Find Ways To Say Yes To Analog Adventures‪?‬ Gospel Tech with Nathan Sutherland

Let’s be real: The reason Drool Tech is so prevalent as an outlet for kids and adults is it’s SO convenient and it works SO well!
Sometimes we just need that one show to buy us 20 minutes to shower, or have a quiet time, or even just sit in another room with our palms pressed into our eyes and think our own thoughts for just one minute! The problems come when we start to train our children to behave by subduing them with Drool Tech.
Today we'll talk through simple analog adventure options that will help us, and our children, delight in the amazing world and adventures God has made for us.
