A Simple Tech Standard: Is it Safe, Ready, Good?

Purposely August 11, 2026 Gospel Tech

Safe, Ready, Good is the standard every parent can apply to the tech in our homes, and to any tech we dream about bringing through our door.

First we ask if it is safe. Is this technology safe by design, or are there additional controls we can add that will help to keep it safe? Then, is my child ready?

Sometimes this is an age thing (they should be 15 before getting a smartphone), and sometimes it’s a maturity thing: They need a healthy RESET even if they’re old enough.

Finally we look at the fruit; is it good?

The best tech will make our children look more like Jesus, and that’s the standard we set for using the best tech well.
