In this episode of the Foundation Worldview Podcast, Elizabeth Urbanowicz explores the second key factor contributing to rising anxiety and mental illness in today’s youth: underprotection in the virtual world. Drawing from The Anxious Generation, she explains the devastating impact of a phone-based childhood, highlighting four major harms: social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. Elizabeth unpacks each issue through a biblical lens and encourages parents to be intentional about how digital media shapes their children’s hearts, minds, and relationships.
