How One Conversation Shifts Digital Parenting Strategies

There are some conversations that feel too big to begin.

Talking about the digital world and our kids—what they’re exposed to, what they’re carrying, how their brains and hearts are shaped by screens—that’s one of those conversations. It’s big. It’s overwhelming. And for parents and educators alike, it can feel like we’re already behind.

But today, I want to offer you a different story. A slower, steadier one. A story about ordinary people doing sacred work in their homes, schools, and churches…one conversation at a time.

Recently, I sat down with Sarah Siegand, an author, speaker, and co-founder of Parents Who Fight. For nearly a decade, Sarah and her husband have quietly and consistently helped thousands of families navigate digital safety—not through fear or shame, but through wisdom, community, and deeply-rooted love.

Sarah joined me on the Screen Guardians podcast on the day her new book launched. It’s called Next Gen Tech Reset, and it’s designed for church and youth leaders who want to reimagine how we engage with teens—not just in ministry, but in a world where algorithms, anxiety, and constant comparison have become the norm.

This post is a reflection on that conversation—not a summary, but a story of hope for parents, educators, and leaders who want to begin again. Who want to do it differently, starting now.
