  • Who Did You Marry? [Emotionally Healthy Marriage 1 of 5]

    Who Did You Marry? [Emotionally Healthy Marriage 1 of 5]
    2024/07/09
    Welcome to episode 1 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating an Emotionally Healthy Marriage.

    Have you and your spouse ever looked at each other and wondered, "Who did we marry?" Lewis Smedes once said, "My wife has lived with at least five different men since we were wed—and each of the five has been me." It's amazing how much we change: sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better.

    In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the various "seasons" we go through as individuals and how those "seasons" influence our marriage. They also talk about practical ways to enter into your spouse's world in the good, bad, and ugly.

    They talk about:
    • How to prioritize what's going on within your spouse's heart more than what's going on between the two of you
    • Ways to empathetically step into your spouse's world
    • Practical ways to dream with your spouse and offer affirmation

  • The Spiritual Growth of a Father and Mother [On Becoming Great Parents 5 of 5]

    The Spiritual Growth of a Father and Mother [On Becoming Great Parents 5 of 5]
    2024/07/01
    Welcome to episode 5 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

    As a parent, what are we truly aiming for? What really is the goal of all this stuff we put into a bucket called “parenting?” And, at a deeper level, have I thought about how my own spiritual journey influences how my children live out their faith and find purpose for how they live their lives? Does this matter to me as I think about how I’m engaging the task of “parenting?”

    In this episode, Josh talks about what he's learning from his own spiritual journey right now and proposes a developmental spiritual growth model for fathers and mothers that moves us from a journey of being self-focused (fear) to others-focused (joy).

    They are:
    Becoming (internal healing and growth).
    Present (external presence where others feel seen).
    In community (inviting others into our journey).

    2024/06/06
    Welcome to episode 2 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

    *Note: We originally titled this episode On Motherhood, Healing, and Finding Your Voice. However, we changed the title after the recording because the content is about becoming a calmer parent, and whether you're a mom or dad, the journey to become calmer is for all of us.

    In this episode, Josh interviews Christi on her 17-year journey of chronic pain and how the healing journey of her physical pain surprisingly taught her things about herself that emotionally helped her become calmer and more present with her kids.

    Some highlights include:
    • How to overcome difficult seasons of our lives and embrace the gradual process of healing
    • Discerning between internal or external influences keeping us living in fight or flight mode
    • Practical ways we reconnect back to ourselves and how that can help us be a calmer presence for our children
    • The importance of paying attention to what your body needs in small doses

    Here are timestamps for each of the topics:

    (3:23) Honoring Moms

    (3:54) Josh + Christi’s revealing conversation about how they communicate

    (7:07) Christi sharing the importance of her finding her voice and sharing what people need to hear

    (8:06) How our voice is a light on a hill, carrying the Kingdom of God with us wherever we go

    (9:30) The importance of Mother’s Day and the fuel that Mother’s Day should be for a mother

    (11:20) Why being told she was “calm” meant so much to Christi and the influence the body has on our emotions

    (14:40) Christi shares about her 17 years of chronic pain and what she’s learned about how God speaks to us through our bodies

    (18:15) Why the body cannot heal in a constant state of fight or flight, and how to recognize whether our hurriedness is coming from internal or external influences

    (20:45) How Christi got “calm” and practical ways become calmer

    (25:30) How our child's needs can feel unsafe to us, and how to calmly respond to our child's needs instead of reacting to them

    (30:11) Honor your journey of healing, no matter where you're at on that journey

    (31:57) Encouragement and a blessing from Christi for where you’re at in your journey right now

  • Walking in Your Identity with Steve Petermeyer

    Walking in Your Identity with Steve Petermeyer
    2024/04/29
    What would happen if we could walk into any room bringing our identity, rather than getting our identity from it?

    Following up our episode on giving kids joy permission comes an episode on how to experience joy as a byproduct of walking daily with Jesus in our true identity. When we’re not walking in our true identity, we’ll get it from one of three places:
    • what we have
    • what we do
    • or how we think other people see us.
    In this episode, Steve Petermeyer, a coach with Identity Exchange, joins us to talk about how we can know our true identity, identify when we’re believing a lie about who we are, and how to invite Jesus into telling us the truth.

    Steve also walks through questions we can ask in our faith communities to get us beyond small talk, go below the surface, and live out our unique identity. For example, what are you doing that God never asked you to do? Are there any lies that you’re believing? What is one fear you currently have?

    If, as Steve says, “More is caught than taught,” when it comes to raising our children, imagine the implications of living out of our true identity as fathers and mothers.

    In this episode, Steve discusses:
    • Why all external conflict is the result of internal conflict
    • The two worldviews that influence our identity and how we relate to the world around us
    • The two ways we act when we’re walking in our false self
    • Four ways to walk with God more intimately, discover your identity, and live in your true self
    • What it looks like to “remember” our identity as we walk with and pray to Him each day
    • How to recognize an emotion, confess it to God, and ask Him what the truth about that emotion really is
    • How we can disciple our children on how to hear from God
