Fred Pry of Child Evangelism Fellowship joins Rob Stoddard to discuss AI chatbots, kids' safety, and the hope only the gospel gives.In this episode of The Covenant Eyes Podcast, Fred Pry — a second-career missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) — shares how CEF has spent 88 years reaching children around the world with the gospel through Good News Clubs, Five Day Clubs, Christmas Party Clubs (which reached over 12.5 million kids worldwide this past Christmas), summer camps, and a growing "Children Reaching Children" peer evangelism ministry.Fred also opens up about CEF's ministry to military children on 33 U.S. bases, and how CEF adapted after COVID to reach kids where they already are: on a screen. That includes CEF's free, ad-free video platform, the CEF Unite channel.Rob and Fred don't shy away from the harder topics facing families today — including the rise of AI chatbots and AI "companions," and the real dangers these tools pose to kids searching for connection and advice. They talk through recent cases where AI gave children harmful responses during moments of crisis, and why real relationships — and the real hope found in Christ — can't be replaced by artificial ones.Whether you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or just curious about ministries doing meaningful work with kids, this conversation is a powerful reminder that even in an increasingly digital world, children can be bold witnesses for the gospel — and hope is never out of reach.---------------------------------------------How Addicted to Porn Are You?

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard sit down with marriage ministry leaders Brad and Heidi Mitchell to discuss one of the most overlooked yet powerful habits in marriage: praying together. While many couples pray individually, surprisingly few regularly pray as husband and wife—and the impact can be profound when they do.Drawing from their new devotional resource and decades of marriage ministry experience, Brad and Heidi share why prayer helps couples navigate conflict, make decisions, weather difficult transitions, and stay connected to both God and each other. They explain how bringing challenges before God changes the dynamic of marriage by shifting couples from opposition to partnership and helping them pursue God's will together.The conversation also explores common marriage struggles, including communication breakdowns, forgiveness, major life transitions, digital distractions, and sexual integrity. Through practical advice and biblical wisdom, Brad and Heidi offer encouragement to couples who want to strengthen their relationship and build a Christ-centered marriage that can withstand life's challenges.Whether you're newly married, navigating a difficult season, or simply looking to grow closer as a couple, this episode serves as a reminder that healthy marriages are built intentionally—and that prayer may be one of the most powerful tools God has given us to strengthen them.Episode Topics Discussed• Why so few couples pray together regularly• The power of prayer in strengthening marriage• How prayer helps resolve conflict and improve communication• Keeping Christ at the center of your relationship• Common marriage struggles and how to navigate them• Major life transitions and their impact on marriage• The importance of forgiveness and extending grace• Sexual integrity, accountability, and finding hope after failure• Technology, social media, and digital distractions in marriage• Practical ways couples can reconnect and communicate betterResources MentionedBuild Your MarriagePraying Together devotional by Brad & Heidi Mitchell Covenant Eyes accountability and monitoring toolsTimestamps00:00 – Why So Few Couples Pray Together00:23 – Meet Brad & Heidi Mitchell00:47 – Building a Marriage Ministry from Personal Struggles01:32 – The Inspiration Behind Their New Prayer Devotional03:51 – The Shocking Statistics About Couples Who Pray Together04:37 – Marriage Topics Couples Should Be Praying About05:41 – Keeping Christ at the Center of Marriage06:50 – How Prayer Changes Conflict and Decision Making08:08 – Common Challenges Couples Face Today09:42 – Forgiveness, Healing, and Moving Forward Together10:30 – Finding Hope After Sexual Betrayal and Broken Trust13:39 – Temptation, Thoughts, and Spiritual Growth14:40 – Their Goal of Visiting 80 Countries by Age 8017:44 – Technology, Social Media, and Marriage Challenges19:04 – Rebuilding Connection Through Eye Contact and Communication19:41 – Practical Boundaries for Phones and Screen Time21:20 – Communicating Needs Without Blame21:42– Marriage, Perseverance, and Putting Christ First22:20 – Resources for Couples and Final EncouragementSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2026 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, a powerful challenge is laid out: what if the real crisis facing men today isn't just behavior—but identity? Theo McMonagle is joined by John Heinen and Devin Schadt of The Catholic Gentleman to unpack the deeper roots of masculinity, shame, and purpose in a culture that has lost its way.Together, they explore how the breakdown of authentic masculinity has led to isolation, confusion, and destructive habits—and why reclaiming identity as sons, husbands, and fathers is essential for healing. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and years of ministry, John and Devin point to a countercultural truth: real strength is found not in control or dominance, but in sacrifice, responsibility, and self-giving love.This conversation dives into the role of shame, the importance of brotherhood, and the necessity of spiritual discipline in forming men who can lead with courage and integrity. They also address cultural extremes—from passivity to domination—and offer a grounded, faith-filled vision of masculinity rooted in relationship, purpose, and truth.Whether you're navigating your own struggles, leading a family, or seeking clarity on what it means to be a man in today's world, this episode offers both conviction and hope: transformation begins when you embrace your identity and allow God to work through your life.Episode Topics Discussed• The crisis of masculinity and loss of identity• Why shame keeps men stuck and isolated• The difference between passivity and domination• Reclaiming masculinity through responsibility and virtue• The role of brotherhood and accountability• Why prayer and discipline are essential for growth• Cultural confusion around relationships and marriage• The impact of fatherlessness on young men• Learning to embrace sacrifice, not avoid it• How authentic masculinity is rooted in self-giving loveResources MentionedThe Catholic Gentleman Fathers of Saint Joseph The Meaning and Mystery of Man by Devin Schadt Timestamps06:26 – The Root of Lust & Disordered Desire11:36 – How Shame Impacts Men's Lives17:50 – Embracing Littleness & True Strength18:46 – Forming Men Who Take Responsibility21:39 – Brotherhood, Prayer & Spiritual Growth24:55 – Discipline, Habits & Self-Mastery29:53 – Cultural Confusion Around Masculinity33:36 – Marriage, Fear & Misconceptions34:43 – The Power of Relationships & Purpose38:54 – Love, Sacrifice & the Meaning of the Cross44:55 – How Division Distorts Masculinity and Femininity                                                    47:13 – Marriage as a Mirror: Identity, Growth, and Self-Awareness                                51:29 – Fatherhood: What Sons and Daughters Need59:31 – Final Encouragement & Living with PurposeSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2026 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

"If we want to see real transformation, we have to stop talking about behavior and start talking about the heart, the brain, and the trauma behind it."In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, host Karen Potter and the team welcome Hannah Ashwell, a therapist from the United Kingdom specializing in trauma psychology and modern behavioral addictions. Hannah brings clinical insight and pastoral sensitivity to a topic many churches still struggle to address openly.Hannah shares about her upcoming book Quit Porn, written to make complex psychological and spiritual concepts accessible to everyday readers. Drawing from her work as a therapist and her own life journey, she explains why recovery often requires both personal responsibility and compassionate support.

You probably noticed something quite different for today's conversation. Alexis Drye is joined by Pastor Jonathan Emery White, who serves children and families at Mecklenburg Community Church. Along with his pastoral role at Meck, he also teaches classes through the Meck Institute, instructing parents about the realities of the new digital world when it comes to their children. It's this background that he brings to today's episode about some recent interesting studies and trends related to teenage sexuality. Episode Links There's an on-demand class at Mecklenburg Community Church that was taught by Jonathan called “FaceTime: What Parents Need to Know About Technology, Social Media, Video Games and More.” You can find that on the Meck website HERE. Dr. White also did a series at Meck called “Streaming Now,” which featured background on four of the most popular streaming series at the time and the lessons that can be applied to the Christian life through them. One of the installments was on the show Adolescence - you can find that series HERE. Jonathan mentioned the software that he recommends to protect parents and their children from the dangers of pornography and the online world. It's called Covenant Eyes, and you can find that HERE. There are also a number of articles relevant to our conversation today if you'd like to take a deeper dive on this topic. We'd encourage you to check out: Selena Simmons-Duffin, “Teen birth rates hit another historical low in 2025, CDC says,” NPR. Lyman Stone, “Sexless America: Young Adults Are Having Less Sex,” Institute for Family Studies. “The Impact of Pornography on Children,” American College of Pediatricians. Mar Alvarez-Segur et al., “Impact of pornography consumption on children and adolescents: a trauma-informed approach,” National Library of Medicine. Carmen M. Leon et al., “From Pornography Consumption to Sexually Violent Practices: Uncovering the Hidden Influence of Sexual Norms,” National Library of Medicine. Taylor Lorenz, “The Hottest Chat App for Teens Is … Google Docs,” The Atlantic. “Injections, Bone Hammering and the Pursuit of Peak Male Beauty: Inside the image-obsessed subculture that is ‘looksmaxxing,'” The New York Times. John Koetsier, “80% Of Gen Zers Would Marry An AI: Study,” Forbes. Finally, there are two past podcast episodes that we'd encourage you to go back and listen to when you have the time. They are: CCP152: On Women's Porn, CCP72: On Toxic Masculinity and CCP146: On Hooters and OnlyFans.

In this episode, we talk honestly about lust, confession, repentance, and how couples can fight for holiness, healing, and intimacy in their marriage.Discussion Questions:- What boundaries do we currently have in place to guard our marriage from sexual temptation? Are they enough?- What does it look like practically to “make no provision for the flesh” in our home?- How can we create a culture of confession and grace in our marriage?- Who are trusted people or community members we can invite into accountability if needed?Resources- Freedom Starts Today by John Elmore- Your Brain on Porn- Fight the New Drug- Covenant Eyes

Dear Humans, NOTE: Jesus was out sick today. Instead, I hung out with "your weirdo friend," Dr. G! They're a community college rhetorician and gender studies teacher who studies how people talk about things and the impact of that. Make sure to follow them here. Today we covered: Why the way we talk about Epstein matters, and why Dr. G wants less "thrill" and more "consequences, please" The dominoes falling faster overseas, and why international paper trails make coverups way harder to pull off Mike Johnson as a haunted Victorian doll, a creepy elf on the shelf, and the Covenant Eyes "accountability buddy" nightmare that turns your stomach for a reason Why they want you stuck in fear mode, and how hopelessness is their favorite drug Dead internet theory, bots, and the idea that likes are being manipulated to make creators feel alone, even when views are still huge "Don't give him oxygen" as a strategy, plus your sanity check on skipping the State of the Union and choosing literally anything else The Duluth power-and-control wheel, and why it maps disturbingly well onto authoritarian tactics What people can actually do: neighborhood-level organizing, mutual aid, taking marching orders from experienced organizers, and letting "big quiet dudes" run interference for community safety Happy Tuesday, humans. Enjoy this episode with Dr. G, your weirdo friend, and please, for the love of Me, I hope you're doing anything else right now instead of giving Tangerine Palpatine more of your precious time. Love, God

After pushing himself to the brink trying to live up to the pace and standards Phil carried for decades, Jase walks away with a new appreciation for just how much his dad handled. The guys explore how Scripture reframes work and rest as part of God's design rather than opposites, especially in light of Jesus' resurrection. They close by reflecting on the difference between perishable and imperishable bodies, and why the hope of new creation gives meaning to both our limits now and what lies ahead.
