Step 2:

Review the Discussion Questions

to Discuss with Your Spouse & Family

  1. Try out a no-tech zone such as during dinnertime.


    Discuss what you noticed as different when the phones were off?

    What was difficult about this decision?

  2. How can we maximise the time we spend together as a family with different activities?

    What are some things each member of the family has wanted to try or get involved in but has never tried or followed through? Can we do those things together?


  3. Where would you like to spend time volunteering? Can we volunteer together as a family?


  4. Read Acts 10:2—if references family unity. How can we establish consistency in our shared activities to give more than we receive?
