MAINTAIN A KINGDOM MINDED CULTURE AT HOME
helping your kids navigate a broken world
When tragedy strikes—whether in the news, online, or close to home—our kids are watching and searching for answers. Parents don’t need perfect words; even an imperfect conversation matters more than silence. What matters most is showing up and pointing them back to the hope of Jesus.
This free resource will help you:
- Share truth from God’s Word when life feels overwhelming
- Find practical tools and resources you can use at home
- Stay connected through NorthRock Students and prayer support
If we don’t help our kids process, the internet will. Let’s equip them to face a broken world with courage, gentleness, and faith in Jesus.
VALUES-BASED PARENTING RESOURCE
What if parenting is one of the most important leadership roles you’ll ever have? In this free resource, Christian psychologist Dr. Andy Yarborough lays out a clear, grace-filled approach to raising kids with intention and faith. Rooted in identity, values, and connection, his framework helps you reflect God’s love in practical, meaningful ways. NorthRock is excited to share this resource with you—because we believe families grow stronger when parents lead with love, not perfection.

NAVIGATING Technology With Your Kids AT HOME
As a parent, technology can be a blessing and a burden all at the same time. We've found some helpful resources that can help you feel more confident in navigating the world of technology with your kids at home.
cell phone permit
In today's digital age, having a phone can offer peace of mind when our older kids are out of sight, and it can streamline busy schedules. While access to technology may seem daunting, Cell Phone Permit provides tailored online lessons for kids ages 8-18, making it easier to teach responsible device use from the comfort of your home.
These lessons give kids real-world practice, helping them learn how to engage in positive, safe, legal, and ethical behavior when using technology. They also cover online interactions and the responsible use of networked devices.
Through videos and interactive lessons, kids gain a solid understanding of technology operations—learning how to choose, use, and troubleshoot current technologies. Plus, they'll be equipped with the knowledge to explore and adapt to emerging tech confidently.
BARK!
Parental Controls for Content Monitoring, Screen Time Management, Website and App Blocking, and Location Sharing.
Stay connected, detect issues, and receive alerts with Bark's monitoring software that watches over your child's devices 24/7, providing you with peace of mind. We recommend Bark because it alerts parents immediately if it detects concerns such as cyberbullying, inappropriate conversations, or explicit images and websites, allowing you to take action swiftly.
TRUPLAY GAMES
Do you have gamers in your house? TruPlay Games offers a Christian gaming alternative that seeks to address a concerning trend: today, only 31% of children believe in God. This raises the question: are the shows they watch and the games they play helping or hurting their faith? A TruPlay subscription opens the door to a vibrant RhymVerse of faith-filled adventures, featuring a variety of games, comics, and animated shorts crafted to be engaging, entertaining, and, most importantly, true to the Word of God.
