Date Night With the Woods

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. Each episode connects biblical truths with practical ways to live for the gospel and fight for the family.

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.
