Kids and smartphones can turn every parent into a referee. But these conversations aren’t really about phones. They’re about influence, attention, and who’s shaping your child’s heart. Alistair Begg joins Dave and Ann Wilson for a conversation about raising children whose hearts belong to Christ in a world competing for their attention.

Looking for a way to keep going?

These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.

If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.

You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com
