Example Topics
Family Discipleship in a Screen-Saturated World
Screen time is the discipleship issue of our age. Social media, video games, streaming video, and now AI dominate our time and attention. We are often discipled more by technology than the teachings of Christ. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Intentional Christian families can embrace authentic Christian discipleship, even in a screen-saturated world. Doug will offer a practical, biblical model of discipleship that every family can practice and become all God has created us to be.
Thriving in an AI Chatbot-Infested Age
Generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini have quickly become the dominant new force across almost every sphere of life: family, work, government, and even ministry. Predictions of either paradise-like salvation or apocalyptic doomsday abound. In this confusion, Doug helps us see these new technologies through his biblical and tech-insider lenses and shows us how to make wise decisions that prioritize our unique identity as humans made in God’s image and for his good purposes.
Screens & Kids: A Counter-Cultural Way
All of their friends have a smartphone, so your child needs one too, right? Our culture has brainwashed us with this message, and the results are fairly devastating. Fortunately, we still have access to the “ancient paths, where the good way is” (Jeremiah 6:16). In this session, you’ll learn how to form an entirely different culture in your home, one that leads to healthy relationships, freedom from addictions, and inspires your kids to find and fulfill their God-given purpose.
Kids Brains & Screens—ScreenStrong
ScreenStrong offers the most practical, science-backed strategies for managing screen time in our homes. As a ScreenStrong Ambassador, Doug shares the latest child brain development research to help parents see what kids and teens need to develop a healthy brain and how technology can harm brain development. Parents will leave with the strategies and encouragement we need to help our kids overcome screen dependency and thrive in every area of life.
Winning The Battle With Screen Addiction
Tech industry leaders and content creators are using intentionally addictive strategies on every screen to keep us watching and wanting more. And that’s just the respectable apps, shows, and video games. When you add pornography, gambling, or compulsive shopping to the mix, enabled by the super computer in every pocket, we can see why more people are enslaved by their screens. Doug responds with hope and practical wisdom after finding freedom from pornography and other screen addictions through the power of God and the application of Biblical practices.
