Today’s guest is a Pastor of a church in Flour Bluff, Texas and the father of 5 kids, his and hers, but ultimately ours. He has some incredible advice and messages of hope for anyone in a second marriage and/or attempting to blend two families together to one. This can be challenging but so rewarding. He talks about some rules and strategies that helped he and his wife succeed in their second marriage and how they helped their kids. I love what they learned and how they taught their children about treating everyone like family regardless of their last name or how they got there. He shares his perspective having survived the child rearing years and now, as a grandpa.Brandon also hosts his own podcast called Beyond the Rut about taking the next step and making your own path.

My guests on the podcast today are providing an incredible resource for parents and children to help navigate the world of technology. Every child wants a phone or a tablet as soon as possible and they all feel like they are the only ones they know without it. How can we as parents, confidently hand them such a powerful tool without the proper training? We wouldn’t give them the car keys without having them go through driver’s ed, would we? That is exactly why David and Emily Jones created Family Tech University, the driver’s training for technology.They believe that the BEST thing we can do for our children before handing them devices, is to help them form a strong internal filter. The workshop they created helps to foster communication and discussion between parents and their children while training them to be successful with technology. They offer hope and resources for all of us to take heart and feel confident in this crazy technology-filled world that we live in.David and Emily have offered an incredible resource for families and if you want to try their workshop between now and November 9th, use the code: BRIGHTER10 to get $10 off a seat in the workshop.Also, if you would like to administer the “Look in the Mirror Kid’s Survey” that we discussed in the episode to your children, you can find it at this link: https://familytechuniversity.com/request-free-survey/.You can find all of their tools and resources at www.familytechuniversity.com and follow along on Instagram or Facebook @familytechuniversity.Send us Fan Mail
