About
Hi! We’re Jesse and Sarah Siegand, and we make our home in Nashville, TN. We started Parents Who Fight in 2015 as a campaign to bring awareness to parents about the dangers kids encounter online every day. We have been married over 26 years, and we have two nearly-grown sons. Over the past 10 years, we've led our family with the tech-intentional practices we teach to others, and our boys are actually thankful, on the other side. As Christian parents with vocational and volunteer ministry experience, we feel uniquely equipped by the Holy Spirit to help the Church push back on the "norms" society has created about how families, kids, and teens use technology.
How We Got Started
When our kids started to relay information about classmates viewing pornography and having their own smartphones in the first and third grades, we began researching what more could be done to protect our family from dangers online. Our research led us to a national conference where we learned from top experts in online safety, and a fire was lit to bring this information to others. Armed with practical knowledge and a passion for protecting kids, the Lord led us to present a simple workshop at our boys’ public elementary school, and Parents Who Fight was born. Since then, we’ve been asked to speak to other schools, churches, and community groups about the importance of understanding the various dangers online and how parents can fight to protect their kids’ healthy futures.
Currently...
In 2024, we sensed an urgency to focus on bringing our message to the Church. Prominent voices in this movement point to the fact that the Church is remarkably positioned with a common vision, morality, and leadership to be able to make a significant shift in culture. This is our current aim.
People say that our passion to fight for families and kids is contagious… we sure hope so! We need parents and churches everywhere to join the fight so collectively we can turn the tide. We want to come alongside you with tools, encouragement, and truth to help you protect the healthy futures of the kids in your life.
