Rules for Responding to Text Messages
Tony Reinke recently shared on the Ask Pastor John podcast that he does not respond to text messages between the hours of 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM.

No responding between 9:00 PM and 9:00 AM.
If it belongs in an email, send it in an email.
Hide alerts in group texts.
The entire episode is worth your time.
