  • Feelings, Emotions, and Spiritual Jiujitsu with Kennedy Straub

    Feelings, Emotions, and Spiritual Jiujitsu with Kennedy Straub
    Sep 10 2025
    If you have children, this episode is worth every minute. Kennedy Straub, Josh and Christi’s beloved daughter, joins the show to talk about how she’s learning to navigate emotions and feelings through the lens of an 11-year-old.

    In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by talking about the difference between emotions and feelings. For example, did you know that emotions keep you safe and feelings keep you aware? Or that one of them causes you “to move” or take action?

    Kennedy also shares the tools she’s using to identify feelings and emotions in her life, what kids need from their parents in their uncomfortable feelings, and how her version of “spiritual jiujitsu” is helping her navigate those BIG feelings in prayer.

  • Raising Kids Outside the Matrix

    Raising Kids Outside the Matrix
    Sep 3 2025
    Make no mistake, we live in a matrix. And the bar set by Western culture for raising children is deceptively low. As parents, we do everything we can to give our kids an advantage. But is more parenting “knowledge“ really what we need? Are child outcomes really better today than they were 10 to 20 years ago?

    In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by offering a new, yet ancient, paradigm for raising our children -- a paradigm that removes shame, grants God-given purpose, and breaks us free from the matrix.

    Time Stamps:
    0:00 Introduction
    1:13 What is the bar we’re setting for our kids?
    3:02 Is more parenting “knowledge” really what we’re missing?
    8:00 What makes KidsRQ unique
    11:43 Why thinking, feeling, and relating at the same time is where growth happens
    14:50 A vision for kids beyond the Western matrix
    18:20 Raising “living letters” to the world
    25:00 How life and fruit can grow from our emotions

  • Relational Joy: Why You Need It and How to Grow It

    Relational Joy: Why You Need It and How to Grow It
    Jul 16 2025
    Think about the deep neurobiological connection happening in your brain as you walk into a room and encounter someone who lights up at your presence, and the fulfilling sensation of knowing that person is beaming from the inside out with only one message, “I am so glad to be with YOU!”

    Without relational joy, there is no relational intelligence. Instead, relational joy is the antidote to the numbing out of our hurried lives because you walk around with a sense of knowing you are seen and loved.

    As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, Josh provides what he calls the “JOY STARTS framework”—four principles and corresponding practices spelling the word JOYS to jumpstart relational joy in your life and in the lives of those around you.

    Time Stamps:
    0:00 Introduction & Review of Season 5
    4:54 Moving from self-protection to experience life-giving relationships
