  • Encore: Porn is a Lie (Newly Relevant for 2026)

    Encore: Porn is a Lie (Newly Relevant for 2026)
    Feb 17 2026
    I've been at a conference this week with thousands of Jesus loving people from around the country, and the conversation on walking in freedom from pornography is relevant and needed. It is relevant because people are hungry to see themselves, or their brothers and sisters in Christ, walk in the freedom Christ has won for them. It is needed because few churches are having this conversation well. We love to talk about how someone used to struggle, and we love to talk about how we should never view it in the first place. We don't often get into how we can walk in freedom if we are currently struggling.

    This episode can help us change that.Please listen, share, and then pray about how the Lord is asking you to engage the body of Christ to see all of our members free from the bonds of sin, and walking in the freedom Christ has won for us.

  • Parenting AI: Deepfakes and S**tortion (Part 2)

    Parenting AI: Deepfakes and S**tortion (Part 2)
    Feb 10 2026
    CONTENT WARNING: We’re diving into the tough but important topic of parenting in an AI-shaped world, and while younger kids probably shouldn’t listen in, this could be a great conversation to share with your middle or high schoolers so it feels more like learning together than an interrogation. My hope is that this equips you to parent well as we raise kids in a world shaped by AI.

    Today we continue our conversation on parenting AI with a look at deepfakes and s**tortion. These are big topics that have an outsized impact on children. We need to know what they are, how they happen, and what to do if our child is targeted. The goal is to be a present, and informed, parent so that your children they need to grow.

    Parenting AI: Relational AI (Part 1)
    Feb 3 2026
    CONTENT WARNING:We’re diving into the tough but important topic of parenting in an AI-shaped world, and while younger kids probably shouldn’t listen in, this could be a great conversation to share with your middle or high schoolers so it feels more like learning together than an interrogation. My hope is that this equips you to parent well as we raise kids in a world shaped by AI.

    The first step to parenting AI well is to know what is out there. Relational AI is an AI assistant designed to be a sort of digital companion. There are many drawbacks to how it is current designed, and Common Sense Media says these are so unsafe they shouldn't be used by anyone under the age of 18. That's concerning because 3/5 teens use them, and 1/3 say they like them as much or more than real life people.

    Today's conversation will equip you to begin parenting this tech well from hope, and with a proper respect for the possible dangers it presents.

    Parenting Video Games Well (START HERE)
    Jan 27 2026
    Is your child ready to play video games? If they already play, how do you know if it's going well. First we need to look at our children in real-world activities, because if they're faithful in little they can be faithful in much, and then assess their RESET to ensure the tech they use produces good fruit.

  • Three Mistakes We Make Parenting Video Games (START HERE)

    Three Mistakes We Make Parenting Video Games (START HERE)
    Jan 20 2026
    We make three mistakes when parenting video games.
    1. We focus on whether it will be fun.
    2. We believe the lie of the "digital cul de sac"
    3. We take the path of least resistance

    The good news is that each of these have simple, if not easy, fixes! We can focus on the high priorities, build healthy real-world friendships, and choose the activities that make our children more of who God has created them to be.

    Parenting Smartphones (START HERE)
    Jan 13 2026
    You can parent a smartphone well. This episode will help. Before you start, ensure that this tech is safe (enough) for your child, that your child is ready, and then keep an eye out for good fruit coming from it. After that, parenting a smartphone comes down to building hedges around your family, the device, and remembering that your network hedge doesn't effect a smartphone.
