Many of us want to spend less time looking at screens, and we certainly want our kids to keep away from them as much as possible. But parents will know: Sometimes the only way to accomplish an unavoidable task is to turn on an episode of Curious George. Brad East writes for Christianity Today this week about a tech agreement he came to with his own kids, and how his peers were shocked to hear of it. |

"I want screen-free churches and youth ministries without social media and parents without phones in their hands and children with books in their hands—preferably outdoors," he writes. But now that his kids are in middle school and have to use online tools for assignments, he agreed to buy them a heavily restricted iPad, "an attempt at wisdom in the face of particular details unique to us." He continues: |

In a perfect world, perhaps, they would attend a classical Christian academy without screens, worship at a church without screens, live in a neighborhood devoid of screens, and—well, you get the picture. That’s not their world, nor ours, so we drew some hard lines while meeting our teens in the middle. |

Marvin Olasky, editor in chief: It’s encouraging that on Thursday The Atlantic, far from a religious publication, published an article headlined "The Evidence That God Exists." The author, Elizabeth Bruenig, praised God, the Science, the Evidence by Michel-Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies, a fine book I had also recommended here in December, after first yearning for the baseball season that has now happily begun. |

Emily Belz, senior staff writer: Ever since reporting a piece on zero-waste Christians, I’ve been trying to reduce plastic in my life one item at a time—with little success. But I’m happy to have discovered Hibar, shampoo and conditioner bars that have been really great. |

Bonnie Kristian, deputy editor: Expensive handmade mugs are among my great temptations. I love this potter’s work and just ordered one of the sardine mugs, but I’m really hoping she’ll make a new batch of the crow mugs soon. The mermaid monster mug—head of a fish, legs of a woman—cracks me up too. |

In this issue of Christianity Today and in this season of the Christian year, we explore the bookends of life: birth and death. You’ll read Karen Swallow Prior’s essay on childlessness and Kara Bettis Carvalho’s overview of reproductive technologies. Haleluya Hadero reports on artificially intelligent griefbots, and Kristy Etheridge discusses physician-assisted suicide. There is much work to be done to promote life. We talk with Fleming Rutledge about the Crucifixion, knowing that while suffering lasts for a season, Jesus has triumphed over death through his death. This Lenten and Easter season, may these words be a companion as you consider how you might bring life in the spaces you inhabit. |
