"God, You have made us for yourself and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in You." St. Augustine named the hunger every woman knows. Divine Connections is about that connection — with the One who made you, who knows you better than you know yourself, and who loves you with an everlasting love. Each episode is an invitation to hear God's voice in the middle of an ordinary life.

    Kids & Screens: The Big Danger Is Not What You Think — with Andrea Davis | Ep. 36

    Is your child's screen time damaging your family's connection? Former teacher Andrea Davis shares how to create a tech-healthy home — starting today. Full description: In this episode of Divine Connections, host Kelly sits down with Andrea Davis, founder of Better Screen Time and author of Creating a Tech-Healthy Family, for a candid conversation about one of the biggest challenges modern parents face: managing screens, devices, and the internet in a way that protects your kids without isolating them from the world. Andrea shares her own origin story — handing her 12-year-old a smartphone during a cross-country move, watching the disconnection happen in real time, and making the tough call to go back to a brick phone.

    Let's distill your parenting down to one word. We have to choose the word that best describes your relationship with your children and also incorporates your accountability before God as a parent.
