2023/05/10

I had the pleasure recently to talk with David Closson, the Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council. I've known David for many, many years. He shares with me the sobering statistics regarding the gap between those who say that they are living a Biblical worldview and how their beliefs actually line up with a Biblical worldview. There's a larger gap than you might even guess! David and I talk about the pressures on churches and the number one question churches are

2023/05/03

A news outlet recently asked me to talk about the boom in homeschooling. Why is there such a surge of parents choosing to homeschool their kids? I'm a little surprised they couldn't see the answer based on the news they are reporting. My kids are grown and having kids of their own, but I'm even more passionate about homeschooling now than I was years ago when I was homeschooling my own kids. It's important that you as a parent find your voice in the midst of the noise of this struggle with

I was recently asked to do a news segment responding to a story about how a twelve-year-old and their friend snuck out of the house and drove four hundred miles to meet up with someone they'd met online. Sadly the age for children engaging in risky and dangerous behavior online is trending younger and younger. As a parent, how can you keep your kids safe online? What do you do when you find that your child is having secret chats online? The goal is for your kids to learn how to use technology and

The other day I was back in the Fox 35 Orlando studios to talk on air about another parenting topic. This time we were discussing kids and credit cards.

Let's dive into why your child might want a credit card, how to determine if your child is ready, and some

The Pros and Cons of Sleepovers - 157

2023/03/22

Do you allow your kids to participate in sleepovers? I'm personally not a fan of blanket directives because each family is unique. You have to make a decision about what is best for your family based on the pros and cons of having sleepovers. I was recently on Fox 35 Orlando to talk about the pros and cons of sleepovers. It's hard to have an in-depth discussion on a topic like this in four minutes, so I'd like to dig in a little deeper here on the podcast with you. Let's talk about the reasons for

How do you manage boredom? Boredom plagues us all at one time or another. No one is immune to it. Boredom is often a sign that you're tired of the same things over and over, even if you like routine.
