We believe in parents. You have one of the most challenging jobs in the world. Let us partner together for the sake of our students. Below, you’ll find a few resources to help you navigate this journey.
FOR THE PARENTS PODCAST
EPISODE 1: Social Media
This episode explores how social media shapes students’ identity and worldview. The hosts emphasize that social media is not neutral—algorithms amplify comparison and pressure. Parents are encouraged to set healthy boundaries, model good digital habits, and keep open conversations with their kids. Above all, students must be reminded their identity is rooted in Christ, not likes or views.
