"My wife and I switched to Wisephones this year (2025) and it has truly been one of the best decisions we ever made. There was some hestitation in switching–especially as a business owner–but the benefits it has provided have turned me into a firm believer in what the company is doing. So when The Liturgical Dad began, I knew I wanted to see about a partnership with them and it is an honor to now be an affiliate. Check out Wisephone by Techless today! Overcome digital addiction, rebuild relationships, and embrace life to the fullest." - Joe
