Social media isn’t just a distraction — it’s shaping young minds in powerful ways. In this episode of The Clark Report our guest counselor explains how parents and churches can help our children and teens find balance again. It's a must-watch and share for Christian families! Plus, that time when Jesus gave a group of fishermen a miraculous lesson on how to fish! Details in our ‘Word in Seven’ segment.

Parental resources suggested by counselor Jennifer Hobbs:

-- COVENANT EYES ($18/month or $199/year in some plans) This is a faith-based accountability and monitoring program. It promotes digital integrity by encouraging transparent communication between parents and youth about online behavior, identity, purity, and peer influences.

-- CIRCLE HOME PLUS (Cost $10/month, $29/3 months, or $89/year for subscription) This provides an effective solution for families or school environments managing multiple connected devices, including gaming systems, tablets, and smart TVs. This device-based system offers whole-home control, allowing parents to manage internet usage, set screen time schedules, and enforce “off-line” hours across all devices.

-- GOOGLE FAMILY LINK (Free). It supports the establishment of healthy technology routines by allowing parents to set screen time limits, approve app downloads, and monitor usage, particularly effective for households using Android devices or Chromebooks. This can serve as a foundational tool for families with elementary and tween-aged children
