August 14, 2024 Ep. 162: The Problem With Music
In today’s episode, we discuss the norm of listening to music all day long and through earbuds/airpods. Is there such a thing as too much music? How does music impact someone’s mood? What about shutting the world out through airpods – is that healthy? And most importantly, what does Scripture have to say about music, its purpose, and its function in our lives?

July 26, 2024 Ep. 161: Is Ms. Rachel Early Childhood Education?
We have heard many parents refer to YouTube content, such as Ms. Rachel, as “early childhood education.” Parents tell us how much their babies and toddlers love watching Ms. Rachel (and shows like Cocomelon). In this episode, we address this common trend of infant and toddler screen time with what both science and the Bible have to say about it.

July 17, 2024 Ep. 160: The Case for Banning Phones in Schools Part 3
In the final week of our apologetic (defense) on why phones should be banned in schools (from the first bell to the last), we look at the justification that kids need phones because of “mass shootings” in schools. Kelly unpacks a greater threat that students face every day – one that gives far greater credence to school-wide phone bans.

July 11, 2024 Ep. 159: The Case for Banning Phones in Schools (Part 2)
This week, we continue our apologetic (defense) on why phones should be banned in schools – not just during class instructional time, but from the first bell to the last bell! In part 2, Kelly provides a counterargument for the common defense made for keeping phones in the classroom, hallways, and cafeteria: “Students need to learn proper use.”

July 03, 2024 Ep. 158: The Case for Banning Phones in Schools
This week, we are laying out the case for banning phones in schools – not just during class instructional time, but bell-to-bell! Several states are now legislating policies requiring this, but not all parents (or students) are in full support. In part 1, Kelly lays out where the movement is headed and identifies the largest hindrance to school districts putting bans in place.

June 22, 2024 Ep. 157: Surgeon General Warning for Social Media Harms
In this episode, Kelly talks about the U.S. Surgeon General’s opinion piece in the New York Times, calling for government warning labels for social media. Dr. Vivek Murthy points to the need for adolescents and parents to understand the risk, but this should be a warning label for all of society! Kelly expounds on 2 Cor. 6:14-17 as a call for Christians of all ages to reconsider their partnership with social media and their witness to the watching world.

June 13, 2024 Ep. 156: Internet to the Ends of the Earth
This week, we are discussing the recent New York Times article “The Internet’s Final Frontier: Remote Amazon Tribes.” After the internet was introduced to the Indigenous people in September, the members of the tribe had to grapple with the same ills American parents have been plagued with for fifteen years. Their story provides an object lesson for Christian parents on the importance of delaying access to the internet/smartphones/social media/games for the purpose of discipleship.

June 05, 2024 Ep. 155: Pride in Children’s Media
In this week’s episode, Kelly interviews Kenzie Cates, a recent high school graduate who completed a senior research thesis on lgbtq content in children’s media and entertainment. How much content is out there in children’s media? Is it blatant or is it so subtle it would be overlooked by children? What is the motivation for promoting lgbtq to children? And, of course, why does it matter for Christian parents, and what can they do?
