Over the past ten years, I have leaned deeper into my faith, confided in my wife, and utilized YouTube tutorials to find answers to most of those questions I called my dad for. Thankfully, my parents always pointed me toward Jesus and His sweet promises, which provided a constant source of wisdom through His Word and a central stabilizing force in my life.

There is an age-old debate about quality time vs. quantity time. With children, I think you need both! The best conversations seem to come after an hour of Lego building, an evening of catching blue crabs with raw chicken legs, or drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway with a Chick-Fil-A milkshake.

Last Saturday, my wife and I realized we were scrolling on our smartphones during family time with the kids. Is it fair that we can have immediate entertainment in the palm of our hands while our kids look to us for attention and entertainment? What if we ditched our phones for more engaging family time? Easier said than done.
