Gospel Tech is a resource for parents who are feeling outpaced and overwhelmed as they raise children in a tech world.
Our goal: Equip parents with the tools, resources, and confidence they need to raise kids who love God and use tech.
Gospel Tech’s mission is to equip families to love God and use tech. We want to empower parents to:
Introduction to Gospel Tech
Three years ago I (Nathan) started Gospel Tech as a ministry to help connect the Gospel to the daily tech lives of families in practical ways. As a middle school teacher I saw a need for intentional, Gospel-focused conversations about tech. Tech was creating more distraction than inspiration in the classroom, and I saw the need for more than just new habits—there was a desperate need for new hearts.
Gospel Tech bridges the gap between scary tech conversations and the hope of the Gospel. With engaging stories and practical applications I bring Gospel-centered tech solutions families can apply in everyday life.
Gospel Tech Resources Beyond The Podcast
At the end of the day our children aren't problems to fix, they're people to love. We need to point them to the purpose and hope available in Christ, in the work he's already done to make them new and to call them on to good works, and then use tech from that hope. This is why I love to say that in Christ we use tech on purpose, not for purpose.
That's the goal of Gospel Tech. Thanks for letting me be on this journey of parenting with you.

What Will You Be When You Grow Up? (Talking with Teens #5)
25 JUN 2024 · Young people are asked this question from the time they can speak. Yet what we do isn't as important as who we are while we're doing it. In today's conversation we'll discuss what we're called to do as followers of Christ, and reflect on whether our current goals and achievements (or failures) in the area of a career line up with who God is calling us to be. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3VuT0wU -
Which Tech Can I Use? (Talking to Teens #4)
18 JUN 2024 · It's a story I'm hearing more and more often: - a high school junior who swapped Instagram for Whatsapp to reclaim her goals and time - a twenty year old who deleted social media to spend more time in his own life rather than the lives of others - a college senior who asked his mom to put parental controls on his smartphone to help him focus on his schooling and career Today we talk about how we can use all the tech that helps us be more like Jesus, and none of the tech that distracts us from Him. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4eajvjM -
Love, Dating, and Tech (Talking to Teens #3)
11 JUN 2024 · Love and dating is always an awkward world, especially in middle and high school, and tech only makes it worse. Today we'll talk about what it looks like to truly love someone, how we can step into loving relationships, and what we must get right about love and tech. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3Ky5EGg -
Loving Parents Give Good Gifts (Talking to Teens #2)
4 JUN 2024 · “What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?" (Luke 11:11) I love to give my children good gifts. Whether it's a delicious treat, snappy new clothes, or a new game or toy, I love being able to provide my children with not only what they need but also what they want. Sometimes, however, my children ask for things that aren't good for them. It might be as simple as ice cream for breakfast, but sometimes what they ask for can hurt more than just their tummies. Today we discuss what it means to ask for, and receive, good gifts from loving parents. In the process we recognize that sometimes the most loving answer is "no". Show Notes: https://bit.ly/45axwd9 -
Little Choices Matter (Talking to Teens #1)
28 MAY 2024 · It's tough being a kid. Being raised in a tech world is even worse. In today's conversation I talk directly to the teens in our lives, and give a reminder that yes, our choices matter, and God's call is even bigger than our mistakes. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4brDl8q -
Being Intentional Parents
21 MAY 2024 · Prioritizing isn’t one of my gifts. I’ve got great energy, I’m adaptable, and I can do a great job being present. Being prepared is another thing. While I’d love to justify my lack of planning on account of my spiritual superiority (I’m clearly a Mary, not a Martha), I have to acknowledge that we are called to count the cost of following Jesus. That’s not possible when I have no idea what is at stake. It’s easy to get busy, do good things, and miss making the most of the moments we are given. Yes, this applies to technology, but I’m mainly concerned with our day-to-day—those 16-18 waking hours each of us are gifted. Today we’ll discuss how to be intentional with our days, and some simple ways we can submit our busy calendars and hearts to our loving heavenly Father. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3WIQoO1 -
Five Fixes for Unhealthy Tech
14 MAY 2024 · Proverbs 22:6 tells us to raise our children in the way they should go. Galatians 5:19-22 reminds us of the fruit we are to look for in our lives and hearts. Today we'll talk about how to do the first when the second isn't going the way we'd hoped. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3UtjsGQ -
Helping Our Children Experience Awe
7 MAY 2024 · Today we sit down with uber-dad, top-tier nerd, and my good friend Justin Pavey to talk about how we can help our children see more of God through the talents, interests, and opportunities he's given us. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3WpWFOD -
Our Children Need Relationships
30 APR 2024 · God calls us to a relational, embodied existence. This is impossible to do in solely virtual spaces, and trying to exist only online causes anxiety, loneliness, and depression. We have the opportunity teach our children how to be present, and it starts with making space in our lives and calendars to be together. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3wcQe6P -
What is the Good Life? (Can We Talk Series)
25 APR 2024 · Everyone wants to live their best life, but what if living your best life now literally means living for, and with, Jesus? Today we end our Season One of Can We Talk with a conversation about how Christ empowers us to live the best life possible, and how that doesn't always look like what we'd plan (mainly because our plans are rarely ever truly what is best).
