The Battle for Your Mind

Our esteemed guest, Mary Kathryn Lysinski, a licensed counselor and family coach, articulates the critical need for families to recognize and address the detrimental effects of excessive screen time. She posits that the true threat to familial peace may not be external societal pressures but rather the screens that dominate our daily lives. Through her insights, Mary Kathryn offers invaluable strategies aimed at reclaiming harmony within households and enhancing interpersonal connections that have been compromised by digital distractions. As we navigate this complex terrain, it becomes imperative to consider the holistic development of our children and the nurturing of an environment where the Holy Spirit reigns supreme over the pervasive influence of technology.
