    Episode 11 - Who is talking to your kids?

    Send us Fan Mail  WHO IS TALKING TO YOUR KIDS? The Dangers of AI — Artificial Intelligence is becoming a bigger part of our children’s lives every day—but do we really know who, or what, is talking to them? From AI chatbots and virtual friends to homework assistants, social media, and AI-generated content, our children are interacting with technology in ways that previous generations never experienced. But where do we draw the line? What dangers should parents be aware of? And what does the Bible teach us about protecting our children’s minds, hearts, and influences? In this episode, we take a hard look at the dangers of AI from a biblical perspective, including the potential for deception, inappropriate content, unhealthy relationships with technology, privacy concerns, and the danger of allowing technology to become an influence that belongs to parents and God. The Bible tells us: “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” — Proverbs 4:23 (KJV) AI isn’t inherently good or evil—but how it is designed, used, and trusted can have serious consequences. As Christian parents, teachers, and leaders, we need to understand the technology our children are using and make sure we are not allowing a machine to become their counselor, teacher, friend, or source of truth. Who is talking to your kids? And perhaps even more importantly… Who is influencing them when you’re not listening? This episode challenges parents to wake up, pay attention, and take seriously the responsibility God has given us to guide and protect the next generation.

    Episode 10 - Guiding Your Child Through Rejection

    Send us Fan Mail When Your Child Faces Rejection: Knowing When to Step In—and When to Step Back Every parent wants to protect their child from pain. But is it always our job to rescue them? Rejection hurts. Whether it’s being left out, losing a friendship, not making the team, or hearing “no,” these moments are often the very tools God uses to shape character, deepen faith, and develop maturity. The challenge for parents is discerning when to intervene—and when to allow their child to walk through the trial with God’s help. In this episode, we’ll explore the biblical role of a parent during seasons of rejection. We’ll discuss the difference between protecting our children and preparing them, how to avoid becoming the “fixer” of every problem, and why healthy independence is essential to spiritual growth. Most importantly, we’ll examine how God’s Word equips parents to point their children to Christ instead of becoming the source of every solution. If you’ve ever wrestled with whether to step in, step back, or simply stand beside your child, this conversation will encourage you with biblical principles, practical wisdom, and the confidence to trust God’s work in your child’s life—even through rejection.
