Electrical technology is not just a spot of rough water the church must navigate; it is a virtual tsunami.

Electronic technology is taking our culture by storm. This is having a profound effect, not just on society at large, but on our occupations, our families, and our personal lives. It is also having a tremendous impact on our churches. As followers of Jesus in these last days, how concerned should we be?

Technology offers some obvious benefits, such as enabling Christians to reach out to the lost around the globe in ways that men like the Apostle Paul could never have imagined. But does the good offset the evil?

Gary Miller interviewed church leaders and youth across the conservative Anabaptist spectrum. Learn with him how different groups are dealing with electronic technology—what is working and what is failing dismally. What do church leaders think is happening in their congregations, and what do their youth know is actually occurring?

This behind-the-scenes glimpse at the cultural upheaval caused by technology should serve as a sober wakeup call and help our families and churches weather the tech tsunami.
