In this conversation, we talk about some simple yet powerful ways we can combine those two interests.

Hey, thanks for stopping by the Carline Conversations podcast. My name is Jason, and in this episode, I have a conversation with my friend Phil Albritton. Phil has the job I dreamed of having as a kid, he's a toymaker. That's right. He's up there with Mattel, Fisher-Price, Geppetto, and Tom Hanks in the movie BIG. All the greats!

Phil is a husband and father of two, so he has a unique perspective of being both a toy creator and a consumer. Phil shares some wisdom about age-appropriate toys, the value of play, and how we can use play to help our kids develop life skills.

One of the most impactful things Phil mentions is how we can cultivate a sense of wonder in the hearts of our children. And I just love that idea. This is such a fun conversation, and I'm so thankful for Phil's time and insight. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Thanks again for stopping by.

Hey thanks for stopping by the carline conversations podcast. My name is Jason. In this episode, I sit down with my good friend, Joey Sparks. Joey is a husband, father, and minister. He and his wife, Amanda, have two beautiful daughters. Joey has more than ten years of experience in graphic design and publishing.

It's no secret that the world we live in is growing more and more digital. Because of that, we as parents must teach our children how to live faithfully in a digital age. Joey and I discuss what that looks like as well as a few ways to empower our young people to be digital ambassadors for Christ. Joey offers up some social media principles that will help our kids navigate a world that can be both dangerous and full of opportunities for good. And he also talks about an upcoming book project he's working on.

I'm grateful for Joey sharing his time and insight with me, and I hope you find this conversation as helpful as I did.

Thanks for stopping by the Carline Conversations podcast; my name is Jason. In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Andrew Kingsley to discuss how we can prepare our kids to be faithful in college. Andrew is a husband and father of 3 and has more than ten years of experience working with teenagers and college students. He is currently the campus minister for the University Church of Christ in Montgomery, AL.

Andrew and I discuss some things he thinks help equip students for the challenges of college. He shares his insight on how families and congregations can invest in their young people early on to give them the foundation of a Biblical worldview so that they know how to identify truth and grow in their faith when new ideas challenge them.

The data tells us that a large percentage of our young people walk away from God and His church during their college years. That doesn't have to be the case. Now, as much as ever, this conversation is needed.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope it's helpful.
