About This Podcast
How do we keep our kids safe in a digital world? Technology has transformed childhood. Even if your child doesn’t have a phone, today’s highly sexualized culture overexposes kids to harmful content and conversations.
Join award-winning author Mandy Majors (TALK and Keeping Kids Safe in a Digital World) for honest, practical conversations at the intersection of technology, culture, and faith.
There are plenty of tools to control technology — but at nextTalk, we go deeper. We help parents build the kind of trusting relationship where kids actually come to them when something goes wrong.
nextTalk is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping kids safe by fostering a culture of open communication in families, churches, and schools.
