TV Church S02E15 | “Raising Kids in a New, Old World”

There has been a frightening rise in depression, anxiety, and self-harm among children and teenagers in the past few years. COVID and smartphones have accelerated the migration of young people to the internet, and much of what they’re finding there is not healthy. This week on TV Church, we’re talking about how we can raise kids in this new, old world.
