📖 Episode Description:

Smartphones are everywhere, and for today’s youth, they can be both a tool and a trap. In this special conversation, I sit down with Pastor Jeff Allen (Arise Brandon Location Pastor) and Arise Youth Leader Jiovanni Cintron to talk about everything parents should know before giving their child a phone.

Together we unpack:

  • When is the right age to give a child their first phone.
  • The apps every parent needs to install to help guard against online predators and pornography.
  • The warning signs that your child may be engaging with inappropriate content.
  • How phones affect mental health, identity, and relationships in teenagers.
  • Practical steps for building trust, accountability, and boundaries around technology.
  • How parents can lead—not just restrict—so kids see phones as a tool, not a trap.

    • This episode is filled with wisdom, practical tools, and candid conversation to help you parent with confidence in the digital age.
