Episode 169
Christian parents often try to filter the media their kids consume, but how do we actually teach our children media discernment? It is one thing to guard their eyes and ears. But how do we also train them to identify the subtle and not-so-subtle messages that come from movies, TV, music, and video games.
Today we’re continuing our conversation from last week with Phillip Telfer, producer and co-director of the award-winning documentary, Captivated: Finding Freedom in a Media Captive Culture. Phillip is also the director of Media Talk 101, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping families learn to take their thoughts captive for Christ in a media saturated society.
