Keep your voice the loudest in your child’s life. Dr. Ray Guarendi shares faithful, practical ways to set loving limits, tame tech, and raise resilient disciples in a culture of algorithms.

Clinical psychologist and father of ten Dr. Ray Guarendi joins host Caleb Brawner to unpack Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World. With humor and clarity, Dr. Ray names today’s “co-parents”—media, peers, and algorithms—and shows how moms and dads remain the primary formers of the heart through clear authority, heavy affection, and prudent limits. They discuss homeschooling and socialization myths, smartphones and sleepovers, curfews and device placement, and why “no” is love in action. You’ll hear practical ways to choose like-minded families, set tech boundaries that stick, and model prayer and sacramental life at home, including answering tough “why” questions with confidence. Pastoral and down-to-earth, this conversation equips parents to protect innocence, cultivate gratitude and responsibility, and form kids who seek God first.
