Darren Schalk on Raising Kids Without Smartphones and Rebuilding Peerless Church

About this episode

Darren Schalk, pastor of Peerless Church in Cleveland, Tennessee, joins Philip Cameron for a candid and practical conversation about two of the most pressing challenges facing Christian families and congregations today: protecting children from the dangers of smartphones and social media, and trusting God through the impossible work of church revitalization. Darren draws on his own family's experience raising three children without smartphones until high school, sharing the specific boundaries he and his wife Christy set — including a daily screen-free window from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. for the entire household. "I liken handing a phone to our children and leaving them alone as dropping them off into one of those rental stores, leaving them there for the night with no parental supervision whatsoever," he explains. He also points to a striking cultural shift: where grandparents were once the wisdom-holders of every generation, the digital age has inverted that dynamic and widened the generational gap in ways he calls "a tool of the enemy." Darren also shares the remarkable story of Peerless Church — one of the oldest Pentecostal congregations in existence, founded in 1906 by A.J. Tomlinson. When he stepped in as pastor in November 2023, the sanctuary had been gutted by a flood with no insurance payout and dwindling attendance. By December 2024, the church had completed a $1.1 million facility and owed less than $150,000. Learn more at peerlesschurch.org or visit darrenschalk.com for resources on technology and family.

Quotes worth sharing

I liken handing a phone to our children and leaving them alone as dropping them off into one of those rental stores, leaving them there for the night with no parental supervision whatsoever, and saying, 'You can do anything you want, but don't go into that back room.' Where's the first place they're going to go as soon as Mom and Dad disappear? They're heading straight to the back room. And put on top of that the fact that the enemy is targeting them, so even when they're not walking into the back room, the back room is trying to find them.

Darren Schalk

My three children did not receive smartphones until high school. They had no access to anything other than what they had to. They didn't start social media until they got to college, and here's the miracle of it all — to this day, they come to us regularly and say, 'Thank you for keeping me off of this.'

Darren Schalk

The building can't tell God no. And I knew the moment that God wanted that building to fall under submission, it would.

What's Discussed

Pastor Darren Schalk of Peerless Church in Cleveland, Tennessee — one of the oldest Pentecostal congregations in America, founded in 1906 by A.J. Tomlinson — shares two compelling conversations in one episode. First, he offers practical, field-tested strategies for protecting children from smartphones and social media, including enforcing daily screen-free hours for the whole family and coaching kids to observe how devices change their friends. He warns that handing a child an unsupervised phone is spiritually equivalent to leaving them alone in a store full of harmful content. Second, Darren recounts how he stepped into a flood-damaged, uninsured church with no sanctuary in November 2023 and watched God provide a fully renovated $1.1 million facility by December 2024. He also authored the book "Dear God, We Need to Talk," available on Amazon.

Intro

Philip:Hello, my friends. Welcome to "Daily Faith." My name is Philip Cameron, and I am absolutely delighted to have you with us today. We have got a great guest that's going to speak life into your situation. I believe that God works... There's a chorus that I sing to myself all the time. "He works in ways I cannot see. He will make a way for me." Whatever your circumstance is, God is, at this moment, making a way for you where there is no way. That old hymn we used to sing in the church, God, any rivers you think are uncrossable, God, any mountains you can't tunnel through, God specializes in things thought impossible. And whatever your circumstance is today, no matter how impossible it seems, God has an answer, and I believe watching today and listening today to what we're going to be talking about will bring an answer and resolution into your spirit.
Philip:Thirty-seven years ago, I walked into an orphanage in Romania, Timișoara, Romania. I didn't want to be there. My dad had nagged me to go with him. He'd been watching TV about these orphans, that there were hundreds of thousands of orphans in Romania that were the result of a communist dictator called Nicolae Ceaușescu. He kept calling me on the phone, "You got to go." And I said, "Dad, you're sick. I'm busy. Leave this alone. There's other people that do this kind of stuff."
Philip:One day he called me and he says, "Well, if you won't go with me, I'm going to go by myself." And I says, "Oh, you got me." So I canceled some services and flew to Scotland. Our whole town came and gave out food and clothes. And we ended up having what was meant to be he and I together in a van, ended up a truck convoy. And I walked into this orphanage. I wanted to get out of the place. I was doing my good son duty. And we'd gone through all the rooms downstairs, filthy, cold, miserable place, and very few light bulbs. It was in January. It was dark and dismal place. And he says, "Oh, let's go upstairs." I says, "Dad, it's exactly the same up there as it is down here. Don't." And he ignored me. He went up the stairs.
Philip:Listen to this. Here's how God gets you to where he wants you to be. So I walked up the stairs behind him, complaining all the way. He got up to the top of the stairs and took a left into this door. Salon Five was hand-painted on the door. So I walked in behind him, and then I walked past him into the room, and here was all these cribs. There were 30 kids, 35 kids, and they're all rocking on their... Because they'd never been held, they rocked. And they're all rocking and screaming, and it was like, ah. And I'm saying, "Dad, let's go." And as I'm telling him this, there's a wee boy about halfway down, looking back up the row towards me. He wasn't rocking. He was tiptoeing on the edge of his crib, looking up. And the Holy Ghost spoke to me, and he said, "That's your son." Clear as I've ever heard God's voice.
Philip:I says, "Dad, look at that boy down there." And he says, "Oh, he's a bony boy. He's a pretty boy." And I says, "Dad..." And I went in and I picked him up, and he was covered in his own waste, and that was the beginning of the greatest miracles of my life. So all those years ago, God moved me to where he want me to be. And so we now have a tremendous ministry of outreach. In fact, that son that I adopted is in Moldova right now with a team of people. And we have a place, an amazing place called Vatra Village. It was built originally for rich people to have a summer home on the biggest lake in the country. And they poisoned the lake with chlorine to kill algae, and they killed everything in the lake, and they also killed this project, and it sat for nine years.
Philip:And then we bought all the homes, and we take these kids in. Every girl you're looking at on this video is worth $300,000 a year to a trafficker. Every girl you see is worth $300,000 a year. We take them out of orphanages, we take them from poor homes and villages, and we put them back in school and share the gospel with them. And the most incredible thing has happened. These orphans have become missionaries, and they go out into the highways and byways and preach the gospel. They bring food to widows and clothes and school books and school supplies to families that are broken. And right along beside it, these orphans share hope that they found in Jesus.
Philip:And we are growing. At the moment, we're building a brand new place for younger kids. Our kids right now are 16 and older. And we had a terrible thing happen a few weeks ago, a few months ago now. A young girl called Maria was sent to us at 14 by the mayor of her village, and she was too young to stay in our home, and we had to put her back. And the week she was put back into her village, she was gang-raped. And we have been working as hard as we can to build two more homes for younger kids, that if ever a Maria comes to us again, she'll have a place of safety.
Philip:They send me videos all the time. Our kids, our orphan kids, make these videos, do the light, everything, and I just show them to you as I get them from them. Take a look at this one we just got the other day. I think it'll bless you.
Hi, everyone. Here we are in Moldova at Promise House, and what you see here is more than a building under construction. With every piece of tile being placed, we are building hope for children who have never had a place to truly call home. Soon, these empty rooms will be filled with love, warmth, and safety. Children who once felt forgotten will finally have a family around them, a bed to sleep in, and a future to believe in. And none of this would be possible without people like you. Thank you for helping us turn walls into shelter and shelter into hope. Together, we are creating a home where healing can begin.
Philip:Thank you so much, Ulizana. Ulizana is one of our orphan kids. She was brought to us and, the crazy story. Her mother went to Moscow to go to university, met a guy from the country of Kyrgyzstan, of all places. You've never seen a country like Kyrgyzstan. And when he got her there, she had three daughters, and he beat her mercilessly. And then she got pregnant again with Ulizana, the girl you've just heard speaking, and she ran away, got back to Moldova.
Philip:Her parents didn't want her, had nothing to do with her. And she put her three older daughters into the orphanage, and she put Ulizana into a tuberculosis hospital. Listen, a tuberculosis hospital. She was perfectly normal, but that was the only place she could put her, and she sat rotting in that place for 12 years. And one day, after never hearing from her mother, because she's Asian in her appearance because she comes from Kyrgyzstan, told every day, "You're ugly, you're hideous, you're ugly. Look at you, you're useless." And they called her Christina. And one day, this Western-looking woman came in and she says, "I'm your mother." She says, "You've got sisters. Would you like to meet your sisters?" Had no idea. Took her from the tuberculosis hospital to the orphanage and dropped her off.
Philip:And at the orphanage, she discovered that her mother was mentally ill, that her name was Ulizana, not Christina, and her sisters were in a different part of the orphanage, and she couldn't see them. And when we found her and she came to our home at 16, she'd never been inside a home, she'd never watched her mom cook a meal, she'd never had a Christmas. She lived in an institution every day of her life. An angry, angry young girl.
Philip:And now Ulizana is married. She heads up our video production and has entered in Moldova, Romania, they have a thing called Romania's Got Talent, like we have over here, and she was third in all of the whole of Moldova and Romania. He works in ways we cannot see, and we need you to help us. We are building these homes for younger kids. Everything you see has been created by someone giving a dollar a day. $1. You can change a life for a dollar a day. And if you could help us by sponsoring these new homes that we're building as we speak, we've got to get staff, we've got to start building this out because younger kids need more care than the older ones. We need you to help us.
Philip:Every home that we build needs 300 people giving $1 a day. You can change someone's life eternally for the loose change in your pocket. You sure can't buy a gallon of gas for a dollar anymore. And if you could help us, it's really simple. You can go to our address on the screen, and you can also go to dailyfaith.tv and contact us today and let us know that you'll be part of this miracle. And if you do, I promise you, the Bible says when you give to the poor, you lend to the Lord. They're his kids. He's the father of the fatherless. And when you care for these young kids that we're helping, you are changing not just their life.
Philip:Ulizana is now married to a lovely Christian boy, a great young man called Victor, and called me up and asked if they could date together and then if it could become serious. And then one day he called me up, the most nervous young boy, and they call me Dad and my wife Chrissy Mom. And he says, "Dad, can I ask you to marry Ulizana?" And I said, "Absolutely yes." So out of disaster, God has brought healing into her life. And her sister is also one of the houseparents in our homes. You can help us. Please be a part of this today.
Philip:We need help right now in this season, and your giving will make a tremendous difference. We have got a guest today that I'm so excited to let you meet. Darren Schalk is pastoring a church called Peerless Church in Cleveland, Tennessee, but he's much more than just pastoring a church. He's got a vision and purpose for the world. And Darren, I'm so glad to have you with us today on Daily Faith. How are you doing, my friend?
Darren Schalk:I am wonderful. It is a joy to be with you, and I could spend the last 15 minutes here just hearing your stories. I love the fact that you focus on the story. I find so many times when we talk about ministry, everybody wants to focus on the numbers, and I love that you focus on the testimony, the story, because God pays attention to numbers. He doesn't ignore them, but he's much more involved in names.

Digital Age Flipping Generational Wisdom

Philip:Yeah. He's interested in names, and so thank you for the ministry you're doing and the way you're sharing those stories and talking about those names. What's different about what we do is a lot of ministries, as you say, are driven by numbers. But it's a mile wide and this deep.
Darren Schalk:An inch deep.
Philip:Yeah. And there's no life change in it. It's a bowl of rice or a thing of soup, and here we go. Look, we've just fed 5,000 people. And for that moment, that's wonderful. But Ulizana has taken us 10 years of investment into her life. Some of her kids are doctors today, and they work as interpreters for the embassies in Moldova because we... I'd rather change a life than just touch, with no real effect, 1,000. There's no end result of that. So that's why we do what we do.

Grandparents Raising Kids with Technology

Darren Schalk:Absolutely. And I've thought about James 1:27 that says, "Pure and undefiled religion is this, taking care of the widows and the orphans in their distress." You're certainly doing that. Your religion is pure and undefiled, certainly, at least according to scripture. So I love it.
Philip:We are having the time of our lives. These two new homes are for younger kids, and this little girl, Maria, that was put back, we were made to put her back because she was underage to stay in Vatra Village, and she was gang-raped by 10 men. Lost her mind.
Darren Schalk:That's heartbreaking.
Philip:And so that has motivated us. We are literally working non-stop to get these houses finished to get more kids in. You have a burden for kids, and we are living in a digital age that I don't understand. I'm as dumb as a moose when it comes to electronics. I'm serious.

Schalk Family Screen-Free Parenting Rules

Darren Schalk:You and all of us. My 10-year-old grandkids look at me with shock at how little I know. And they can go up to a gadget and go, "Ch-ch-ch." There you are, Granddad.
Philip:I'll say, "This thing's broken." "No, it's not broken." "Let me see it." "There you go." But that is the most dangerous thing that we've ever seen in the history of the world, the fact we're living in this digital age.
Darren Schalk:Yeah, and you're explaining one of the biggest problems, and really, I think one of the largest tools of the enemy is that over the course of all of history, grandma and grandpa were the wisdom holders. You went to them for everything. They knew the answers. And now this whole dynamic is flipped, and the younger generation sees Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa as far less wise, and it's just widening the generation gap and separating us in ways that we don't need to be separated. It's all a tool of the enemy that starts from the ground up, and that's just scratching the surface. We run into this problem all the time. And then you have grandparents raising grandchildren, and they don't know how to deal with, what do I do with this technology? And so often we simply hand it to them, and we hope for the best.
Darren Schalk:I've got three children, my wife Christy and I. They're all in college now. They did not receive smartphones until high school. They had no access to anything other than what they had to. They didn't start social media until they got to college, and here's the miracle of it all. To this day, they come to us regularly and say, "Thank you for keeping me off of this."
Philip:Well, I see it in restaurants. It's used as a babysitting tool. But the problem is you wouldn't hire a babysitter that had a sexual abuse history or a murder history or whatever. But handing one of these devices to a kid, you are giving every evil device of the enemy into their hand to say, "Go ahead, find out what the devil can do to you."
Darren Schalk:I'd describe it like this. I think our generation is a little more familiar with the rental stores where the back room had the adult section. And if it didn't, when I was 12, I'd kind of peek around the corner as I walked by, but that's as far as I could get. I liken handing a phone to our children and leaving them alone as dropping them off into one of those rental stores, leaving them there for the night with no parental supervision whatsoever, and saying, "You can do anything you want, but don't go into that back room." Where's the first place they're going to go as soon as Mom and Dad disappear? They're heading straight to the back room. And put on top of that the fact that the enemy is targeting them, so even when they're not walking into the back room, the back room is trying to find them.
Darren Schalk:And so we end up with this just terrible place where we are, and the devil is stealing an entire generation. And so much like you're going after the ones that are being trafficked, when we hand them these phones, they're having similar mental and physiological responses even to such experiences.
Philip:So how do you say no? When your kid is there and all the other kids in the class have got a device, and your kid comes to you and says, "Please, Mom, please, Dad, my life will never be normal unless I get one of these things," how do you say no? What do you do?
Darren Schalk:There are a couple of simple thoughts that my wife and I have had to work on over the years because, like I said, our kids were born right about the time the iPhone was put out, and so God allowed us to be a little bit ahead of this game. So we first decided we want to give our kids as similar of a childhood as we had. Which meant we only had three channels, and cartoons were on just an hour or two in the afternoon and then on Saturday mornings. That was it. And so we decided, okay, first of all, we're just going to give them as much screen time as we had. And so we limited it to a couple hours in the afternoon, and we'd watch TV together as a family in the evening.

Teaching Kids to Observe Friends and Phones

Darren Schalk:We made very specific time when our kids were younger that from 5:00 till 7:00 or 8:00, there would be no screens in the house whatsoever. None of us were allowed on it, mom, dad, and all three of our children. And for the first week or two, we were kind of twiddling our thumbs and wondering, what are we going to do? But after about two weeks, something clicked, and all of a sudden, within a matter of days, this became our family's favorite time of every day. In fact, I would sometimes get home early, and the kids would ask, "Can we shut the TV off now? Do we have to wait till 5:00?" Because it turned into all of the things we grew up with.
Darren Schalk:We suddenly had this whole list of board games that we'd play. We'd get outside and throw a ball around and play catch and soccer and whatever else we could come up with. Creativity started to broaden in our children. They're coming up with their own ways because sometimes we didn't entertain them. We'd say, "Well, you got a couple hours. You got to go figure it out," just like we were raised. And so they did all that. And then, of course, you got to about the end of elementary school and middle school, and the friends started getting the technology. That's when it starts to get difficult.
Darren Schalk:So first thing you've got to do is look at your own technology usage and say, "How much am I on this phone? How many hours am I spending on it, and what are my kids seeing in me?" And we've got to deal with our own technological issues first. But then we started noticing, okay, the first thing we decided was when I was growing up, my dad, I'd often ask my dad a question when he'd tell me no, and his response would be, as so many parents use, "Because I said so." And Christy and I decided that when our kids asked us about technology... Now, if they asked for a cookie and said, "Why not?" I'd say, "Because I said so." But if they asked, "Why can't I have this technology?" we always were prepared to give them an answer because it's like holding a loaded gun, and I cannot hand you a gun without you going through specific training.

Tech Giants Keep Devices from Their Own Children

Darren Schalk:You used to be able to. Here in Tennessee now, anybody can basically carry a gun. But you need some specific training to know how to handle something that's so dangerous, and we have to view these things as a loaded gun or a landmine that's 100 years old that hasn't gone off yet, and we've got to handle them with care. And so we always gave our children an answer. When their friends started getting it, we said specifically to them, "Watch what happens when your friends get their phones." And of everything we said, that was probably the best thing we said to them because it made them notice the difference that happened. And truthfully, some of their friends would get them, and it would irk them. They would say, "They won't even talk to me anymore. They're just buried in their phone." And then they saw, especially the ones that would get on social media and get access to things that they shouldn't have at that age.
Philip:So you made your kids see their friends turn into zombies.
Darren Schalk:I don't want to say that too much about my kids' friends, but you're on the right track. But they saw it happen to the ones around them. But that's exactly... I'll go in a restaurant and you'll have five, six people around a table, and they're all like this.
Philip:"Hello?" "There's someone next to you." And that's a great point. So you get your kids to watch and observe their friends and how it turns them from being an interesting person into this zombie caught up by this... That's a great point. I've never thought of that. Use their friends as an example.
Darren Schalk:They saw it happen again and again, and that's, I believe, I mentioned they tell us thank you. And after a year or two of watching that, they stopped asking because they saw what was happening, and they said, "I don't want to become that." And people around would notice the difference because they're able to shake someone's hand, look them in the eye, have a conversation. And there's just study after study showing how this stuff affects your mind and affects social interaction and it keeps us from developing the way we need to. There's just so much negativity involved in it.
Philip:I saw a program, a study, like a documentary, and all of the major guys that are involved in this mass technology that we're speaking about, the guy that was doing the thing says, "Do your kids have devices?" Every one of them said, "No." They can poison the world, but their kids don't have the poison in their own homes.
Darren Schalk:Yeah, that comes from the ones that developed it. From the big boys, their kids don't get it.
Philip:We've only got a few minutes left. You've got to come back and talk more about this. Tell us about your church. Is there anyone in the area to come? Peerless Church, tell me how you got started and what God's doing with your work there.
Darren Schalk:Well, Peerless Church is actually one of the oldest remaining Pentecostal churches in existence today. North Cleveland Church of God is down the road and claims that, but we're actually kind of a split off of that church, so we can also claim that alongside of them. So been around since 1906. It was founded in the earliest beginnings of the Pentecostal movement by a man named A.J. Tomlinson, and still continuing, going strong today. We recently had a flood a couple of years ago. This has been my church for 20 years. When I wasn't pastoring a different church, at least I was always here. My kids were raised here. And so when I stepped in, there was no sanctuary. We were in the gym. There was no insurance money coming through for the flood. There wasn't anything coming in. Our attendance was dwindling, and the sanctuary itself was just bare. And it's a beautiful 600-person seat sanctuary that had just had nothing and no funding to see it through.

Peerless Church History and Flood Recovery

Darren Schalk:And so when I stepped in two and a half years ago, didn't know what to do, didn't know where we'd go. People ask all the time, "How could you take that church when there was no sanctuary and all these problems physically?" And I said, "You know what? The building can't tell God no." And I knew the moment that God wanted that building to fall under submission, it would. And so I just tried to care for the people. I focused on the people. We started a funding campaign, and miraculously, I began in November of '23. No finances, no sanctuary. On December 14th of 2024, just a year later, we were into a $1.1 million top-of-the-art, top-of-the-line facility. We now owe less than $150,000, and God just worked miraculously over that year.

1.1 Million Dollar Sanctuary Miracle

Darren Schalk:We're gaining the next generation. Our church is booming rapidly. You can see all this at peerlesschurch.org and check us out. If you're anywhere in the area, Cleveland, Tennessee, Chattanooga, that's not a long drive at all. And if you want to learn any more about the technology stuff, you can find some of that information on my website at darrenschalk.com.
Philip:There you go. From the man himself. And you authored a book, didn't you? So tell us quickly about that book.
Darren Schalk:I did. It's called "Dear God, We Need to Talk." The idea behind it was God is great, and questions are okay. So I wrote a whole book about my questions about God and hopefully give a few answers. But more than me giving the answers, as you read, hopefully God speaks. "Dear God, We Need to Talk." It's available on Amazon.

Book Dear God We Need to Talk

Philip:Thank you for being with us today. Let's do this again soon. We'll see you again.
Darren Schalk:Please, I'd love it.
Philip:Thank you for watching "Daily Faith" today. We'll talk to you again. Bye-bye.
For over 25 years, the Cameron family has been changing the lives of orphans in Romania and Moldova. From providing running water, flushing toilets, and clean wells to coal for heat, new windows, as well as food and clothing. They champion the physical needs of the orphans in these broken and desolate countries. Many of Moldova's orphans are saved from the horrors of trafficking through homes founded by the Camerons, and in the process, orphans become daughters and sons. They come to know their heavenly Father and are forever changed by the love of Jesus. God helped the Camerons lift these amazing young men and women out of darkness. Now, no longer orphans, they want to return and invade that very same darkness with the light of Jesus Christ.
The Orphan's Hands equips these daughters and sons to become missionaries. Your monthly gift of $31 will allow us to rescue and take in more girls and boys, saving them from the hell of human trafficking. Your monthly partnership will allow us to care for those in The Orphan's Hands homes in Moldova and the Ukraine. If you want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people, please contact us today by calling 833-DAILYFAITH. You can also give by going online to www.dailyfaith.tv, or by writing to Post Office Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. So many lives depend on what we do. Thank you for loving the lost.

Common questions

Why did Darren Schalk wait until high school to give his kids smartphones?

Darren and his wife Christy wanted to give their kids a childhood as close as possible to the one they had — limited screen time, no constant access to devices. He compares handing a young child a smartphone unsupervised to dropping them off in a video rental store with a back room full of adult content and telling them not to go in — the temptation is immediate and the danger is real.

What's the practical tip Darren used at home to cut down on screen time for the whole family?

Darren and Christy enforced a daily no-screens window from 5:00 to 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. — for everyone in the house, parents included. After an awkward first week or two, it became the family's favorite time of day, filled with board games, outdoor play, and conversation, and the kids eventually started asking to turn the TV off early to get to it sooner.

How did Darren get his kids to stop asking for phones without just saying 'because I said so'?

He told them to watch what happened to their friends once those friends got phones. Over time, the kids noticed their friends became buried in their devices, stopped holding real conversations, and changed in ways that bothered them. After a year or two of observing that, Darren says his kids stopped asking on their own and actually began thanking him and Christy for keeping them off social media.

What is Peerless Church and how did Darren turn it around after a flood?

Peerless Church in Cleveland, Tennessee is one of the oldest Pentecostal churches in existence, founded in 1906 by A.J. Tomlinson. When Darren stepped in as pastor two and a half years ago, the church had no usable sanctuary after a flood, no insurance payout, and dwindling attendance. Within about a year, the congregation completed a $1.1 million facility renovation and now owes less than $150,000, which Darren credits to focusing on the people and trusting God with the building.

What is Darren Schalk's book about?

His book is called 'Dear God, We Need to Talk,' and it's built around the idea that God is great and questions are okay. Darren wrote it to explore his own honest questions about God, hoping that as readers work through those questions, God speaks to them directly. It's available on Amazon.
