Ep. 191 | The Digital Battle Most Parents Don't See w/ Dr. DeAnn Regaisis

Author: Lora Thorson, Defenders USA July 9, 2026 Duration: 28:43

Your kids may be fighting battles you never see. Not on the playground. Behind a screen.

In this conversation, Dr. DeeAnn Regaisis shares what years of research have revealed about cyberbullying, digital safety, and the growing emotional and spiritual challenges young people face online. We discuss why so many children suffer in silence, how cyberbullying can escalate into far more dangerous situations, and why parents need more than rules. They need meaningful conversations and relationships built on trust.

We also explore why Ephesians 6 is more relevant than ever, what it means to equip our children with the full armor of God, and how families can intentionally prepare the next generation to navigate a digital world with wisdom, courage, and discernment.

If we want to raise defenders, we must first prepare them for the battles they cannot see.
