How did we get here? It\u2019s very simple. Fifty-two-and-a-half hours is the average amount of time a child spends on a screen. They\u2019re only at church 30 minutes a week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With less than half of Americans attending church today, he said the situation is grim, particularly regarding the content and information coming at young people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really are facing a crisis with children,\u201d Dusing continued. \u201cAnxiety, suicide, depression rates are all time, all-time highs, pornography exposure, all-time highs for kids, all types of toxic content thrust on kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amid the haze of confusion, he said many parents are looking for platforms they can trust \u2014 entertainment venues where their values can be respected and where children can hear about \u201cGod\u2019s truth\u201d while simultaneously enjoying the content.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why Dusing created TruPlay, a subscription gaming platform that offers mobile games and plenty more \u2014 games that embrace biblical and family-friendly themes.<\/p>\n<p>But TruPlay offers more than gaming; it delivers comics and other projects as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really a whole kind of a platform for all types of entertainment options for kids and families,\u201d he said. \u201cOur goal is to reach millions and millions of children, families all across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dusing said he\u2019s encouraged by the positive reception thus far, with hopes to help curb some of the unfortunate and inappropriate messages children face. TruPlay, he believes, offers a viable alternative to so much of what\u2019s currently on the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that there\u2019s so much toxicity on children, because they\u2019re not being shown God\u2019s truth,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m really concerned about there\u2019s way too much sexual content for kids; there\u2019s way too much hyper-violent stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dusing wants to bring quality entertainment that helps parents get past negative options to find something their children will love and cherish.
