We are a network of brave parents who empower & equip others to intentionally develop & train children to have strong character & integrity. We believe brave parenting is doing the right thing even when it is hard. While it seems our children would rather be raised by the internet, the truth is they need strong and courageous parents who will invest in their character.

  • Love the short & concise reviews of apps

    The review of a popular app in each podcast episode is extremely helpful. As a busy parent I feel as though staying up-to-date on new apps and the parental controls available can be a full-time job. The short, concise overview of apps is really helpful to know how the app works, the red flags to be aware of and any ways to monitor or set-up controls. Love to listen to this podcast that always leaves me feeling like I have the knowledge to help my kids manage technology in a healthy way!
