a short guide for internet safety

From the desk of Jeremy K., media director at Fellowship Baptist Church:

I’ve had the chance to spend some time with the OurPact app, and I wanted to share a quick personal take. As someone who works in media and sees how much time we all spend on screens, I understand how important it is to create healthy boundaries — especially for families.

OurPact does a solid job helping with that. Features like app rules, the ability to schedule usage, and restrict content make it easier for parents to stay intentional about how devices are used. It’s also fairly simple to navigate once everything is set up.

The app is $9.99/month, which is something to consider depending on your family’s needs.

That said, it’s not perfect. At times it can feel a little restrictive if not used thoughtfully. Like anything, it works best when it’s paired with good communication, not just control.

​

If you’re exploring options, other apps parents may want to look into include Bark, BrightCanary, and Covenant Eyes, each offering different features depending on what you’re looking for.

For families looking for a practical way to manage screen time and build healthier habits with technology, it’s definitely worth considering.
