## Resource

In this episode of You Are The Man Podcast , we continue looking at The Anxious Generation and the spiritual cost of a phone-based life. Phones are not just distracting our children — they are discipling them. They are shaping what they love, how they think, how quickly they judge, how little they forgive, how rarely they sit in silence, and how easily they miss the glory of God right in front of them. This episode unpacks how constant screen time pulls families away from sacred rhythms, real presence, stillness, self-denial, forgiveness, and awe. We look at how the phone-based life trains both parents and children to live focused on self, image, comparison, outrage, and noise — while God calls us upward into worship, wisdom, peace, and purpose. Parents, this is not just about reducing screen time. This is about taking back the spiritual leadership of our homes. It’s time to reclaim the dinner table, the quiet moments, the family walk, the car ride, the bedtime conversation, and the sacred space our children desperately need. Because our kids don’t just need less screen time. They need more sacred time. More presence. More prayer. More wonder. More Scripture. More Jesus.
