Is Screen Time Stealing Your Family’s Faith and Joy?
ATTENTION PARENTS: Do you feel like glowing screens have taken over your home? Your kids scroll and tap for hours while meaningful family moments slip away. Dinnertime used to mean conversation and laughter, but now everyone stares at a device. The average family today spends only 37 minutes together per day (down from 2.5 hours decades ago) and kids rack up 7+ hours a day on screens. It is no wonder many families feel more like strangers living under one roof.
One man’s journey through faith, politics, and business proves that integrity and success can go hand in hand.
You are not alone...
Maybe you have tried setting limits or saying “put the phone down,” only to end up in arguments and eye-rolls. A recent survey found parents spend nearly 100 hours a year fighting with their kids about screen time. Two-thirds of parents fear they are “losing precious time” with their children to screen addiction. Does that sound familiar? You may have noticed your child gets irritable or zoned out after too much tablet time. You may worry that constant digital distraction is pulling your family apart and weakening the values you want to instill.
And what about faith? In the middle of this tech overload, Bible time and spiritual bonding have taken a back seat. Studies show nearly 60% of Christian parents rarely or never read the Bible with their kids. It is not because they do not care, but because it is difficult to compete with TikTok and Xbox for your child’s attention. If you have ever wished for a way to reconnect your family, reduce dependence on screens, and make faith fun and engaging for your children, keep reading.
The Modern Family Disconnect (and How It Hurts Our Kids)
Everywhere you look, families are drifting apart. Even when sitting in the same room, parents and kids often live in different digital worlds. The result is clear: family time has shrunk to alarmingly low levels. In one study, the average father spent as little as 8 minutes a day in direct conversation with his children. Silence and isolation have replaced the chatter and closeness of years past.
This disconnection carries a cost. Psychologists warn that a screen-dominated childhood stunts emotional and social development. Kids today struggle more with empathy and communication. The American Academy of Pediatrics links excessive screen use to higher anxiety, attention problems, sleep troubles, and lower academic performance. You may see it in your own home. After too much Fortnite or YouTube, your child is moody, unfocused, or uninterested in simple joys. Meanwhile, precious opportunities to bond continue to slip away.
Without regular family interaction, children miss out on learning empathy from a sibling’s story or receiving a reassuring smile from a parent. Over time, the family’s emotional climate starves. One day you realize you hardly know what is happening in your teenager’s heart because, as one study put it, “parents are often the last ones kids turn to for help”. That is a gut punch, but it can be reality when connection is lost.
Spiritually, the impact is just as serious. Maybe you always assumed your kids would absorb faith at church or youth group. But if home life is dominated by devices and busy schedules, when do you have those faith conversations? Many well-meaning moms and dads feel guilty because they want to teach biblical values, yet they struggle to make it happen. It is difficult to compete with Minecraft or Netflix. As a result, a generation is growing up with minimal exposure to God’s Word outside of Sunday mornings.
Here is the hard truth: if nothing changes, our kids will carry the habits and heartache of disconnection into adulthood. But the fact that you are reading this shows you refuse to let that happen. You are looking for a way to pull your family out of the digital fog and into the light of real, lasting connection. Take heart. There is a solution, and it is simpler than you think.
Reclaim Your Family: Turn Wi-Fi Off and Family On!
Imagine this: It is a weeknight and, unbelievably, your kids have forgotten about their devices. Instead, everyone is in the living room, on their feet, engaged in a lively hands-on game. There is laughter, friendly competition, and even your too-cool teenager is cracking a smile. You are not shouting “Put that phone away!” because they are actually interested in this activity.
After the game, you share a short Bible story that connects to what you just did. The kids listen. They even ask a question or two. By the end of the evening, you have not only worn them out with fun, you have planted a biblical lesson without any lecturing. Everyone heads to bed a little more joyful, a little more bonded, and a little more in tune with God’s Word.
This is not a fantasy. This is what Wi-Fi Off, Family On! can help you experience.
Introducing Wi-Fi Off, Family On!: 26 Scripture-Powered Games and Lessons to Bring Your Family Together
Wi-Fi Off, Family On! is more than a book. It is a ready-to-use game plan for reconnecting your family and making faith the heartbeat of your home. Inside, you will find 26 activity-based lessons rooted in Scripture. That is one for every week of the next six months, or you can pace them as your family prefers. Each lesson is a fun, structured, hands-on activity designed to pull your kids away from screens and bring everyone together—learning, laughing, and growing in faith.
Here is what makes this guide so powerful:
Engaging, Easy Activities
No need for elaborate planning. Each activity uses common household items and sets up in minutes. Whether it is a Camel Caravan Water Relay or a Manna Mania Scavenger Hunt, the games are active, silly, and exciting for kids and parents alike.
Built-In Bible Lessons
Every activity comes with a theme and Bible story that makes Scripture come alive. You will have a short passage to read that connects directly to the game. These object lessons help Bible truths stick. Your kids will not just hear the story, they will experience it.
Life Applications and Reflection
After the fun, you will have life applications and reflection questions ready to spark discussion. (Example: “How did it feel to rely on teammates in the game? What does that teach us about the Body of Christ?”) These questions move the conversation from playtime to real-life application, where the deepest growth takes place.
45–60 Minutes of Quality Time
Each activity and discussion fits within an hour—perfect for family night, Sunday afternoon, or anytime you gather. No endless prep or struggling to hold kids’ attention. Just one solid hour where your family truly connects.
Age-Adaptable Fun
Whether you have a first grader or a high schooler, activities fit ages 6–18. Younger kids love the games, older kids secretly enjoy them, and teens take leadership roles that make them feel valued. A true whole-family experience.
Parent-Friendly Format
You don’t need to be a Bible scholar or crafter. Each lesson includes a materials list, step-by-step instructions, Bible connection, and reflection questions. Just open the book and go. We provide sample wording to introduce the activity and scripture, so you never feel unprepared. It’s like having a family ministry curriculum at your fingertips—just add kids.
In short, Wi-Fi Off, Family On! is the tool that transforms “family night” into something kids will actually look forward to. Instead of begging for more YouTube, they will be asking, “What game are we playing this time?” And while they are laughing and having fun, powerful biblical lessons will be sinking in deep.
“It’s like Vacation Bible School meets Family Game Night!” Every activity blends the fun of a game with the impact of a devotional. Say goodbye to yawns and bored faces during obligatory devotions. With these activities, your children will experience the Bible. They will remember the lessons not because they had to, but because they wanted to.
Why This Approach Works (The Proof Is in the Results)
Maybe you are thinking, “This sounds great in theory, but will it really work for my screen-obsessed kids?” Fair question. Here is why activity-based, faith-centered family time works—backed by both research and real-world results.
Kids Learn by Doing
Research shows people remember up to 90% of what they actively do, compared to only 5–10% of what they hear or read. That is why traditional “talk and listen” devotions often fade quickly. But when your kids act out a Bible story, play a game, and feel the lesson, it sticks. They may forget a sermon, but they will remember the wild camel relay that taught them about kindness.
Boosts Family Bonding and Security
Consistent family activities build trust and connection. Studies reveal that even one focused family night a week increases children’s feelings of closeness by over 20%. A short 20-minute shared activity can dramatically strengthen a child’s sense of belonging. Imagine what a joyful 60-minute faith activity can do. Each week you are sending your kids a clear message: “You are loved, we are a team, and we make time for what matters.”
Builds Confidence and Character
When kids contribute to family activities, their self-esteem grows. Experts agree that children who spend quality time with parents develop stronger self-worth. Maybe your son is not the star athlete, but when he nails a Bible charades answer and gets high-fives all around, he beams. When your daughter helps lead an activity and you tell her, “Great job,” she shines. These moments become building blocks of lasting confidence.
Better Behavior, Less Stress from Screens
Too much screen time creates cranky, restless kids. The good news is that cutting even 30 minutes of screen time per week and replacing it with family interaction leads to better behavior, more affection, and higher satisfaction at home. Less arguing, more laughter. Now imagine dedicating an entire hour each week to this. You will be shaping habits that crowd out the negative effects of screens.
Faith Flourishes in the Home
We often hear, “The family that prays together stays together.” According to the National Study of Youth and Religion, kids who engage in family faith practices are 60% less likely to engage in high-risk behaviors like substance abuse and early sexual activity. Faith woven into everyday life is what grounds kids in their values. Wi-Fi Off, Family On! helps you do this effortlessly. You are not just entertaining your kids—you are equipping them with a foundation that lasts.
Fun for the Whole Family
If something feels like a chore, no one wants to keep it up. These activities are genuinely enjoyable for kids and adults alike. You will find yourself laughing, letting go of stress, and making memories you actually want to repeat. When joy fills your home, teen attitude problems and sibling squabbles start to fade. A happy, united family is much harder to divide.
Simply put, shared activities are the secret ingredient. They open hearts, create lasting memories, and make space for both faith and fun. Your kids may forget the video game level they beat, but they will never forget the night Dad turned off the Wi-Fi and led a goofy game that ended in a family prayer circle.
Real-Life Transformation
One tired father decided to try this. His two teens would retreat to their rooms and devices right after dinner, barely speaking to anyone. He finally declared Monday nights “Family Faith Night.” He switched off the router (to their shock), gathered everyone in the living room, and kicked off a quirky Bible trivia game. The first week was rocky, filled with groans and eye-rolls. But by the end, they were laughing. One month later, Monday nights had become their highlight. His daughter began opening up about struggles at school. His quiet son volunteered to lead prayer. What began as awkward soon became anticipated. The simple act of playing, praying, and being present together softened hearts and rebuilt their bond.
If it worked for them, it can work for you too.
Now is the time to turn Wi-Fi off and family on. You do not have to figure it out alone. We have done the work for you. All you need to do is open the book and say yes to change.
