Kristi, Todd, and Travis Walker, children of the late Mel Walker, recently joined us on Wake Up Right to honor their father and his life of faithful ministry, as well as to share about Mel's final book, Youth Ministry Questions: Lessons from a Life-Long Youth Worker. Mel's joy was investing his life into the next generation, and it's clear from our conversation that he did that beginning with his own family, as each of Mel's grown kids is in ministry and shares their dad's passion for discipleship. 

Mel Walker was a youth pastor, taught youth and family ministry courses and served in various administrative roles at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa, and then at Baptist Bible College & Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA. Mel was a frequent speaker at youth, church leadership, family life, and parenting conferences, and authored fourteen books.

Mom of six Molly DeFrank was sick of screen-time meltdowns. (Sound familiar?) She wanted more for her family, so she pulled the plug, declaring a digital detox for her screen-addicted kids. The transformation blew her away: She got her sweet, happy kids back. The detox was easier than she could have hoped, and the results were better than she could have dreamed. In just two weeks, her children were free from the grip of digital devices. Their moods shifted immediately, and their creativity exploded. They learned how to entertain themselves and enjoy life without screens. Her experiment led to a total tech overhaul that changed her family’s life. Her new book, Digital Detox: The Two-Week Tech Reset for Kids gives you insight into how she did it in just fourteen days, and how you can too.

After reading and loving her book, Tim chatted with Molly on Wake Up Right so you can flip the switch and get your kids back! Whether or not you have kids of your own, you'll find this conversation practical, relevant, and applicable. Don't miss their conversation!
