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 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).

Drool Tech Makes Children Brittle
23 APR 2024 · Drool Tech is designed to take our time, focus, and money. Not only does it manipulate our decisions, our investment includes the loss of opportunities we would have had if we'd been able to move on with real life. The loss of relationships, real world stress, and experiences of personal agency (you made a choice, saw the outcome, and learned from it), have made a brittle and anxious generation of youth and adults. Yet there is great hope. Today we'll look at how freeplay, agency, and healthy stress can help restore and reverse some of the damage Drool Tech has brought to old and young minds alike.

How Do We Know Our Identity In Christ? (Can We Talk Series)
18 APR 2024 · What does it mean to be a Christian? It seems simply, we've all known this since summer camp: Put your faith in Christ and you get eternal life. But is that what Jesus taught us? What did Jesus say about his power for our life today, not just our life in eternity? Today we're talking about what it means to be buried with Christ, raised to new life with him, and how that empowers living for God's kingdom today. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3U0ShTy37m 7s -
We Can No Longer Say We Didn't Know
16 APR 2024 · Jonathan Haidt’s new book changes the tech conversation. From this moment onward, no one can respond to concerns about tech with “nuh uh” and be taken seriously. The research has been compiled, the conversational table has been set with delicious morsels of facts, research, relationship, and experience, and now the meal can commence. This book will change the way legislation, lawsuits, school boards and admin, parents, and young people tackle the tough questions about tech. We can no longer say we didn't know.

How Can We Know God? (Can We Talk Series)
11 APR 2024 · We can know God. Not just as a theory, or a vague idea, but as a person to interact with, talk to, and be loved by. Today we discuss how we can know God, why it's reasonable and relevant to do so, and what knowing the God of the Bible means for the rest of our daily life as believers.

The World and The Devil (Three Temptations of Tech, Part 2)
9 APR 2024 · Martin Luther, in summarizing many church fathers and mothers, cited the three temptations that draw us away from God: The flesh, the world, and the devil. Technology offers the same three distractions from God's best for us, and today we look specifically at how these sublte lies slip easily into our daily lives, and what we can do to recognize and resist them with truth and hope.

Three Temptations of Tech (Part 1)
2 APR 2024 · ”The devil’s three temptations of Christ aren’t about getting him to “sin”, as we think of it, but to get him to take his rightful kingdom by an easier road—to do the right thing in the wrong way.” -John Mark Comer, Live No Lies. Today we discuss the three temptations of technology, not to be afraid of it, but to expose it for what it is. We can live free with tech, and we can also live free of it if necessary. This conversation is to help each of us recognize, and resist, the three temptations of tech. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/49oNy3w30m 53s -
Why is God Relevant? (Can We Talk Series)
28 MAR 2024 · God matters today. Many of us believe that, but we need to connect that truth to our daily lives in a world filled with frenetic goal chasing, instant gratification technology, and the many fears being shouted from every digital rooftop. Today’s conversation focuses on how God fuels the most important conversations and solutions to the problems of our day. Show Notes:26m 5s -
My Kid Is Ready For Tech. Now What?
26 MAR 2024 · How do we teach our children to use tech well? We've setup hedges, we've assessed tech health, and we know the lies tech will tell us. Today we discuss how to help our children use tech well by looking at the fruit, the fit, and the safety of our new tech. Doing this empowers us to use the best tech, stay hope focused, and fight for our children (not just with them) when it comes to technology. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/4cvRWQT23m 47s -
Tech and Our Children (Can We Talk Series)
21 MAR 2024 · Today we focus on the "tech" of culture, God, and tech. Nathan Sutherland shares a bit of what we can do to be intentional with our tech use, how we can talk about tech with our children, and how there is great hope for tech used well for ourselves and our children.
