About us

Like almost everything, this started small

One invitation to speak in 2013 turned into four classes, then a name, then more than a hundred venues across the country. Here's how the Workshop got here — and who's behind it.

The Workshop

From four classes to a hundred venues

I was invited to speak at the congregation I now work for in 2013. I wrote four 45-minute classes on "internet safety," which later became known as "Active Digital Parenting," and which I revamped into the Digital Parenting Workshop in 2019.

Since its inception, I've presented the Workshop in some form or another at over 100 different venues — churches mostly, but also businesses and schools. It's taken me to California, Ohio, North Carolina, and tons of places in my home state of Tennessee.

Thanks again for visiting the site, and don't forget to stop by the YouTube channel as well.

2013

The first invitation

Four 45-minute classes on internet safety, written for a single congregation in Columbia, Tennessee.

The years after

"Active Digital Parenting"

Word spread, the material grew, and the classes picked up a name of their own.

2018

Seventeen workshops in one year

The busiest year yet — and the point it stopped being an occasional favor and became a real thing.

2019

The Digital Parenting Workshop

A full revamp, a new name, and the format families know today.

Today

100+ venues, and counting

Churches, schools, camps, and conferences from California to Tennessee — plus free downloads and the YouTube channel.
