    1KHO 516: Real Faith, Real Adventure, Real Childhood | The Wild Brothers, Off the Couch and Into Creation
    Jul 3 2025
    What if your kids spent more time tracking manatees than chasing likes? In this inspiring episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Morgan and Hudson Wild—two of the original Wild Brothers—to explore what it means to grow up off the grid, immersed in creation and faith. From their childhood in the jungles of Indonesia to their current adventures in Florida and beyond, the brothers share how curiosity, family, and a Gospel-rooted worldview shaped every part of their lives. Now back in the States, the Wild Brothers are on a mission to help families rediscover wonder in their own backyards. They speak candidly about the cultural shock of returning to a screen-dominated society, their concept of the “urban machete,” and how real adventure starts when we step outside. With behind-the-scenes stories, parenting wisdom, and video-making tips for young creators, this conversation is a call to reclaim the wild beauty of childhood. Together, the Wild Brothers and 1000 Hours Outside have launched a dream collaboration: Off the Couch Into Creation, an 8-week outdoor faith-based curriculum filled with hands-on exploration, family connection, and powerful truths about God’s world. It’s perfect for homeschoolers, nature schoolers, and anyone longing for more real life and less digital noise. Launches July 8 for a special $99 intro price at 1000hoursoutside.com/offthecouch.

    1KHO 513: The Business of Replacing Parents - How Big Tech Wants to Raise Your Kids | Dr. Susan Linn, Who's Raising the Kids?
    Jun 30 2025
    In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Susan Linn returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast to expose how Big Tech and big business are working to replace—not support—parents. From algorithmic toys and social robots to persuasive “educational” marketing, today’s most powerful industries are selling convenience at the cost of creativity, relationships, and childhood itself. Dr. Linn, a renowned psychologist, author, and pioneer in protecting children from commercial exploitation, unpacks how screens and toys that “do too much” rob kids of the very experiences they need to thrive—free play, boredom, human connection, and imagination. She explains how even well-meaning parents are being manipulated by corporate messaging designed to wear them down and wear them out. If you've ever felt like you're swimming upstream as a parent in a tech-saturated world, this episode is your life raft. Your presence matters more than any device ever could. 🎧 Listen and share this episode far and wide. 📚 Books by Dr. Susan Linn: – Consuming Kids: The Hostile Takeover of Childhood – The Case for Make-Believe: Saving Play in a Commercialized World – Who's Raising the Kids?: Big Tech, Big Business, and the Lives of Children 🔗 Learn more about Fairplay at https://www.fairplayforkids.org Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 512: When You Feel Inadequate, Start Anyway | Brittany Maher, Ready As You Are
    Jun 27 2025
    We live in a culture that tells us we have to be ready before we begin—but what if that’s a lie that keeps us stuck? In this deeply personal and empowering conversation, Her True Worth co-founder and bestselling author Brittany Maher joins Ginny Yurich to talk about the myth of adequacy, the illusion of perfection, and the sacredness of small steps. Drawing from her new book, Ready As You Are, Brittany offers honest reflections on postpartum anxiety, freezing under pressure, and what it means to live a faithful life—even when you feel disqualified. Together, Ginny and Brittany explore the concept of micro-purpose: the daily, often unnoticed acts of obedience that build legacy over time. Whether you're navigating motherhood, homeschooling, mental health challenges, or just wondering if you’re “enough,” this episode is a timely reminder that God doesn’t wait for perfection—He calls us forward as we are.

    1KHO 511: Parents Are Right to Nag Their Kids to Go Outside | Thomas Kersting, Disconnected
    Jun 26 2025
    In his fourth appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Thomas Kersting—licensed therapist, author, and former school counselor—returns to share what he’s witnessed over 25 years on the front lines of youth mental health. From skyrocketing anxiety levels since 2012 to rising oppositional behavior and sleep deprivation, Kersting explains how screens, social conformity, and parental fear have reshaped childhood—and not for the better. But he also offers hope: the solution is far simpler than most realize. With deep warmth and clarity, Kersting makes a powerful case for play, silence, movement, and in-person connection. He affirms that parents should set limits, should pull back from tech, and should fight for childhood as it once was. And yes—he says it loud and clear—parents are absolutely right to nag their children to go outside. This episode is a wake-up call and a rallying cry for families who want something better. 📚 Get Thomas Kersting’s books: – Disconnected → https://amzn.to/3Kz6nXa – Raising Healthy Teenagers → https://amzn.to/3VVaqBO A huge thank you to our sponsors!
