He has a podcast called the Russell Moore show and recently launched a new book, Losing My Religion. I think this conversa...
Episode 136: A Jaw Dropping Conversation with Mi Papá
November 30, 2023 08:41 - 45 minutesI CANT EVEN WITH THIS EPISODE!!! There are so many jaw dropping moments! My Tia Nancy and my Papa came to Nashville for Thanksgiving. My Papa has always been a man of few words, spoke Spanish (which I forgot by the time I was in second grade), and lived far from me, so we didn’t have many of your typical grandparent/grandchild moments together. But. While he was here, I really thought to myself how important it is to me that I get to know him. So, I decided to pull out the microphone and star...

Episode 124: Parenting Series - Navigating Phones and Kids
August 31, 2023 07:26 - 33 minutesThis is quite possibly the MOST REQUESTED topic y'all ask me to talk about when it comes to parenting. That's right... we're talking about PHONES. This conversation will look different for every family and every kid, but it is INEVITABLE that every kid will have access to phones and screens. So how do we help them?
