Josh and Katy open the episode with a careful look at how emerging AI technologies are affecting children, especially when digital tools designed for engagement fail to protect vulnerable kids. They wrestle with what it means to put children’s safety first in a rapidly changing tech landscape and why families need guardrails that keep innovation from outrunning responsibility. In the next segment, Katy is joined by Jenn for a thoughtful conversation about marriage and parenting in today’s culture, pushing back on messages that prioritize adult self-fulfillment over children’s need for stability and lasting connection. Together, they reflect on what it looks like to parent with purpose in a distracted world and why consistent presence still matters. The episode closes with Katy and Jenn responding to listener questions about fear of marriage after divorce, setting healthy boundaries around technology at home, and raising children—especially boys—to treat others with honor and care.
