Date Night With the Woods: Recent Episodes
For the Gospel
Anthony & Bre Wood have truthful and transparent conversations about the blessings and challenges of being a biblical family in a progressive culture. Each episode connects biblical truths with practical ways to live for the Gospel and fight for the family.
The internet is in our homes 24/7 — but is it discipling our kids more than we are?
In this episode, Tony and Bre get honest about the role screens play in their own home — the wins, the struggles, and the habits they've had to rebuild as parents. They talk through why removing screens without replacing them rarely works, why kids imitate more than they obey, and one simple rule that's changed their family's mornings.
They also share a free resource from their friends at Plugged In: the 2026 Parents Guide to Technology — a practical, balanced guide for navigating screens, social media, and tech in the home.

If you've ever wondered whether you're raising kids who are shaped more by their phones than by your voice, this conversation is for you.

This one came from an Instagram question sticker, and it's one of the most requested topics we get. Someone says something careless. Someone overlooks you. Someone gossips. Sometimes it's small — sometimes it's devastating.
The world calls it a personality conflict. James calls it a spiritual battle.
We walk through James 3 and talk about why jealousy is so easy to justify, why church people are so good at wearing masks, and what it looks like to be a peacemaker when you're the one who got wounded.
Welcome to Date Night with the Woods, where Pastor Tony Wood & wife Bre have truthful and transparent conversations about the blessings and challenges of being a biblical family in a progressive culture.

Many Christian parents wrestle with the same question: When should I tell my children about my past? And just as importantly, how much should I share? In this episode of Date Night with the Woods, we discuss how to approach conversations about your testimony with wisdom, honesty, and grace. Whether your past includes addiction, sexual sin, divorce, rebellion, or simply everyday failures, your identity is no longer found in what you've done—but in what Christ has done for you.

Being a single parent can feel overwhelming. The responsibilities never stop, the emotional weight is heavy, and many days it feels like you're carrying the entire family alone.
In this episode of Date Night with the Woods, we continue our Summer of Hope series by encouraging single moms and single dads with the hope of the gospel.
We discuss God's heart for the brokenhearted, why your identity is found in Christ—not your circumstances—and how the local church can help carry burdens you were never meant to bear alone. Whether your story includes divorce, the loss of a spouse, abandonment, or another difficult path, we pray this conversation reminds you that God has not forgotten you.

One of the deepest pains a parent can experience is watching their child walk away — from wisdom, from relationship, or even from faith. In this episode of Date Night With The Woods, Tony and Bre talk honestly about the heartbreak many parents quietly carry: the son or daughter who has rejected truth, made destructive choices, or walked away from the faith they were raised in. But this conversation isn’t just about pain — it’s about hope.

How do Christian couples handle conflict without damaging their marriage? In this episode, we share a real story from our early years of marriage and discuss what we've learned about conflict, forgiveness, communication, and fighting God's way. Many couples believe conflict is the enemy, but Scripture teaches that unresolved conflict—not conflict itself—is what creates division. When handled biblically, disagreements can actually deepen intimacy, strengthen trust, and bring couples closer together.

Are you becoming the kind of man your wife wants to follow? In this episode of Date Night with the Woos, we tackle one of the most misunderstood topics in marriage: biblical leadership. Many husbands hear they should "lead their home," but few are given practical guidance on what that actually looks like. Is leadership about control? Authority? Making all the decisions? Or is it something much deeper?

In this conversation, Tony and Bre discuss beautiful truth that believers are adopted into the family of God. So many Christians live with an orphan mindset — constantly trying to earn God’s approval — even though Christ already secured it at the cross. This episode is an encouragement to stop striving, return to the cross daily, and rest in the love of the Father.

Parenting teenagers can feel like losing the very relationship you worked so hard to build. One day you're their whole world… and the next, they’re pulling away.
In this episode, we talk about the emotional and spiritual tension of raising teens—why it feels like rejection, how God designed this season, and what it means to love your children enough to let them go.

Our words aren’t random—they reveal what’s in your heart.
In this conversation, we unpack how everyday speech—sarcasm, gossip, complaining, criticism—can quietly destroy relationships. What feels “normal” in culture is often deeply damaging in reality.
Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” That means our words are not just communication issues—they’re heart issues.
If you’ve ever wondered why your friendships feel strained, shallow, or distant, this might be the reason.

Insecurity is something every person wrestles with—leaders, parents, professionals, and even the most confident people you know. But where does it come from, and how can we overcome it?
In this episode of Date Night, we talk about the reality of insecurity in everyday life. From comparison and fear of failure to feeling overlooked or not good enough, these struggles are more common than we realize. The Bible shows us that even people like Moses, Gideon, and Peter battled insecurity—yet God still used them powerfully.

From a vulnerable story during our engagement to biblical examples like Cain and Saul, we explore how comparison turns into resentment… and how resentment can quietly erode relationships over time.

In this real-time conversation, we talk honestly about why “going with the flow” often leads to missed deadlines, strained marriages, and quiet frustration — even when you’re working hard and trying to do the right thing. This episode isn’t about hustle or effort. It’s about strategy, integrity, and stewardship of time — in work, marriage, parenting, and spiritual life.

What do you do when you feel like you’ve blown it spiritually? When guilt won’t let go and you’re tempted to prove yourself instead of trusting grace? In this episode, we talk honestly about guilt, conviction, and accusation—and why your first move after failure isn’t to try harder, but to go back to the cross. Drawing from The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges, we unpack the difference between life-giving conviction and soul-crushing guilt, the trap of performance-based Christianity, and how the gospel isn’t just how you start the Christian life—it’s how you live it.

Eating disorders and disordered eating affect nearly all of us in some way—but the Bible helps us see that this struggle goes deeper than food, weight, or appearance. In this episode, Pastor Tony Wood and wife Bre talk openly and compassionately about eating disorders, gluttony, self-control, and why Scripture frames these struggles as issues of the heart and worship, not just behavior or body image. We acknowledge real medical realities while gently addressing the spiritual motivations behind how and why we eat.

Public schools in California and other progressive states are no longer simply teaching academics, they’re actively stripping parents of their God-given role. From hiding critical information about gender identity, to promoting LGBT curriculum, to allowing abortion pills for minors without parental consent, the state is claiming authority over your children’s hearts, minds, and bodies.
In this episode of Date Night with the Woods, we unpack the biblical mandate for parents to be the primary disciplers of their children (Deuteronomy 6, Proverbs 22, Ephesians 6), and we expose how modern legislation is undermining that role. We’ll also share practical options for homeschooling, private schooling, and church-based education, and encourage moms and dads who feel overwhelmed by this fight.

Is porn really a disease, or is that just what the therapy industry wants you to believe? In this powerful interview, Dr. Greg Gifford challenges the secular psychological model that treats porn addiction like a brain disorder, arguing instead for a biblical view of the heart, sin, and true transformation. From parenting advice to marriage restoration, Dr. Gifford equips you to see through the lies and fight back with truth.
This episode isn’t just about sin, it’s about hope, healing, and seeing the glory of God as better than any counterfeit pleasure.

Not all “Christian” media is created equal—and it’s not just about what’s on screen, but also what’s behind it. In this episode, we dive into the influence of Christian films like The Chosen, The Passion of the Christ, Prince of Egypt, and more. Should we show these to our kids? Can they help or harm our understanding of Jesus? What’s the role of artistic license, and where should we draw the line?
Tony and Bre Wood sits down with Grant and Grace Anna Castleberry to unpack both the blessings and dangers of Christian media. They share personal stories and remind us that no film, no matter how well made, should ever replace Scripture in shaping our view of Christ.
Whether you're a parent, a pastor, or just someone trying to navigate entertainment with discernment, this conversation will help you think biblically and wisely about what you watch—and what you let shape your heart.
