The Screen Time Stat That Should Scare Every Parent

August 6, 2026

The internet is in our homes 24/7 — but is it discipling our kids more than we are?

In this episode, Tony and Bre get honest about the role screens play in their own home — the wins, the struggles, and the habits they've had to rebuild as parents. They talk through why removing screens without replacing them rarely works, why kids imitate more than they obey, and one simple rule that's changed their family's mornings.

They also share a free resource from their friends at Plugged In: the 2026 Parents Guide to Technology — a practical, balanced guide for navigating screens, social media, and tech in the home.

If you've ever wondered whether you're raising kids who are shaped more by their phones than by your voice, this conversation is for you.

When Believers Wound Each Other

July 30, 2026

This one came from an Instagram question sticker, and it's one of the most requested topics we get. Someone says something careless. Someone overlooks you. Someone gossips. Sometimes it's small — sometimes it's devastating. The world calls it a personality conflict. James calls it a spiritual battle. We walk through James 3 and talk about why jealousy is so easy to justify, why church people are so good at wearing masks, and what it looks like to be a peacemaker when you're the one who got wounded.

Hope for Parents with a Past

July 16, 2026

Many Christian parents wrestle with the same question: When should I tell my children about my past? And just as importantly, how much should I share? In this episode of Date Night with the Woods, we discuss how to approach conversations about your testimony with wisdom, honesty, and grace. Whether your past includes addiction, sexual sin, divorce, rebellion, or simply everyday failures, your identity is no longer found in what you've done—but in what Christ has done for you.

Can Gen-Z’ers Remain Romantically Pure?

What’s it like being a single “twenty-something” committed to Jesus in America today? That’s the question I posed during a recent sit-down with three single women from our church.
