Parenting in the Digital Age with the Currans – Part II
April 19, 2022 • Dr. Tom Curran, Kari Curran, Allison O'Donnell
In this episode, we continue our discussion of parenting in the digital age with Tom and Kari Curran. As parents, we can think of our responsibilities in terms of Christ's fulfillment of the three Old Testament offices: Prophet, Priest, and King. Each one of these roles requires parents to lead, provide, and protect. Consider this in light of raising our kids in the digital age. Dr. Tom hosts a radio program called “Sound Insight" and both Tom and Kari are parents here at The Oaks. Hope you enjoy and God bless.

December 14, 2021 • Devin O'Donnell, Allison O'Donnell
This episode we wanted to explore the traditions and practices that make our home a strong Christian culture. We live in a world where the gravitational pull for the hearts, loyalties, and attachments of our kids is constantly shifting further away from the Lord. One way we can resist this is to create a stronger and more beautiful Christian culture in the home.
