A Time for Boldness: Reclaim
I might shock you.
I need to tell you about something. Because it is a subject very rarely discussed on mom blogs. At least the ones that I read.
Sadly, though. I would imagine that someone reading has been affected by media.
Media began before technology developed.
Quite honestly, my screen time concerns me. And I fear, that one day . . . my children might become like me.
Walking around with the phone in my hand. Checking email. Writing one more tweet. Posting to Instagram.
I suppose our culture might become so saturated with media that we won’t know any different.
And that would be sad.
But even sadder?
Sometimes media isn’t so benign. There are websites out there . . . that don’t have your best interest at heart. They seek a profit . . . at any costs. They don’t care about you.
Reclaim Your Community, Your Family, Your Life
Why Do I Know About Reclaim?
Without going into details, our family has been impacted by some of the evils of media. While not personally affected, I have watched pornography (and alcohol addiction) destroy lives. Destroy families.
Thankfully, God is in the restoration business.
And those restored lives that I dearly love and know personally are speaking at the Reclaim Conference.
What is the Reclaim Conference?
Come and learn how to reclaim your life back. God wants you – He wants to know you. Many of us have spent more time building a relationship through texting, social media, or internet than getting to know our Father. The first step to reclaiming your community and your family is reclaiming yourself.
If you have a cell phone. Watch TV. Or are involved in Social Media . . . then Reclaim has a place in your weekend.
That is, if you live near Indianapolis.

Dear Jodi, I am a 59 year old Grandmother of 11. We raised our 5 children in what we THOUGHT was a Christian home.. but every night the t.v. was on .. Our way like most American “Christian’ homes, unwinding.. not thinking of the impact it had on our kids.. to be just like everyone else.. Seinfield, Friends.. other t.v. shows that seemed innocent though ever so slightly gnawing away at to values we had hoped to instill in our children.. GOd Bless You. I am only NOW learning how conformed the church is to this current culture. The human side of us wants our kids to fit in, to be popular, to be successful.. Instill the WOrd of God in our children THE MOSt Important thing you can do!! ” Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against you.’ and then live it in front of them.. ask yourself WHY are we doing this??? Conform NOt to this present world .. Protect your children from this eviil generation!
I so appreciate you commenting. Though I am so proud of my sister-in-law and all she has done . . . turning her past into something AMAZING for God’s glory — I was nervous posting about the conference. You know, that topic isn’t just talked about. But Kristin and her husband reach out to people struggling with pornography and addiction and those who have been affected by it. She was on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ for years and has since switched to Bravehearts, which is affiliated with CCC. But the media gets things into our homes so subtly. Once I watched that video on media for the Reclaim conference, I knew I HAD to post!
May God bless and empower your efforts on behalf of American families!
I have personally been through many of the struggles out address here. God has been reveiling more And more about the way I as living. I pray this outreach comes to many. May God bless your message and speak truth to people through it.
