Whatever we do online spills over to our offline lives.
Lisa Frost
It’s easy to get sucked into your phone, tv shows, or video games and forget who you are and what you really want out of life. Jason and Lisa Frost, young authors of a new book, talk with Creed and Crishelle about being intentional with media and living from your values. We should be angry instead of ashamed about screen culture and the big tech companies setting traps to steal our attention. They suggest that taking a break away from screens is worth it for the healthy benefits.
In this episode:
- Pornography is one of the ways tech tries to capture time and attention for big money
- Find time to have a digital break and reset
- Take time to think about your values
Over the past five years, Jason and Lisa Frost’s insatiable hope has driven them to give their everything to inspire the change that this lost generation so desperately needs. After finishing their Master’s degrees in education and human rights and working hands-on with teens for nearly a decade, they released a book, The Glass Between Us, as a guide for parents and community leaders to courageously succeed at raising up teens in the digital age.
This year, they launched their non-profit organization, Wired Human, to serve parents, teachers and community leaders with the tools they need to empower youth to reject digital exploitation and pursue a life full of community, adventure and purpose. Together, they can reclaim the lives and mental health of this rising generation from the iron grip of Big Tech.
