Social Media and Parenting | Fight For Your Teens
Part 1
Parents, you will one day stand before God and give an account of how you raised your children.
In today’s culture, parents are voluntarily giving up their authority to be able to speak in their teenagers’ lives by giving in to the power of social media. We need to recognize the damaging effect social media has on our children. In this episode, Brody sits down with Jon Rouleau to have a conversation about the triangular relationship between parents, their teenagers, and social media.
Prepare to be challenged. Let’s be vigilant and get in the fight for our kids.

Part 2
Social media has a huge impact on our teenagers. Companies target students in a way that produces negative outcomes like anxiety, depression, and body image issues. In this episode, Brody sits down with Rob Conti and Spencer Davis to discuss raising godly teenagers in the age of social media and what we can do as parents to protect them.
Parenting requires courage in every generation. Don’t be a lazy parent. Let’s slow down and be aware of how the media is affecting our families.
