In the debut episode of Resolving Dad, pastors and fathers Justin Boyd and Daron Pratt launch a heartfelt and down-to-earth conversation about modern parenting. Framed as a space for all caregivers—not just dads—they explore what it means to be an authentic parent in a world where screens dominate childhood. Set against the backdrop of their personal experiences as dads, granddads, and spiritual leaders, the hosts aim to bring honesty and encouragement to parents navigating today’s challenges. This episode centers on the impact of screens and technology on family life, particularly how children’s relationships with devices begin early and often become all-consuming. The hosts draw from Jonathan Haidt’s book The Anxious Generation, discussing how shifts in society—from the loss of neighborhood community and outdoor play to the rise of screen-based interaction—have fundamentally changed the way children grow up. They reflect on the tension between embracing technology and protecting childhood, encouraging parents to stay present and informed in their children’s digital worlds. What makes Resolving Dad refreshing is its tone: practical, non-judgmental, and real. Justin and Daron don’t pretend to have all the answers, but they do model intentional parenting—where connection, balance, and presence matter more than perfection. With humor, candor, and a shared commitment to meaningful family life, they offer listeners both challenge and comfort as they unpack what it means to raise resilient, grounded kids in an age of smartphones and social media.
