  • Simple Living: 5 Shifts Families Long For

    Simple Living: 5 Shifts Families Long For
    Feb 12 2025
    We’re in a series on the 5 shifts families long for today and in this episode we talk about why people are longing for a more simple life.

    “We’re too busy,” or “There’s not enough time,” is the heart cry of many families today. Sadly, there’s also a ripple effect of the stress we feel as parents that gets passed onto our children. Our kids feel the busyness.

    As we keep looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the question, “Why are we doing what we are as a family?” this episode is a conversation on the return to simplicity.

    Time Stamps:
    0:00 Introduction
    3:00 The number one greatest parenting struggle today
    5:35 The two ways we view “time” and how it influences how we live
    9:00 The contemporary ways we fill our “margins”

    15:28 Practical ways to simplify
    23:03 Trying new life-giving practices in seasons

    From Exhausted to Rested: 5 Shifts Families Long For
    Feb 5 2025
    Do you live in a perpetual state of rest with exhausted moments, or do you find yourself living in a perpetual state of exhaustion with restful moments?

    In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. Unfortunately, for many families, a chorus of words seem to ring out of what people today long for, but can’t seem to attain. The word we cover today is “rest.”

    This episode is the first of 5 familial shifts we’ll be talking about as we continue to ask the question: “Why are we doing what we are as families?”

    Moving Your Family Beyond the Matrix
    Jan 22 2025

    Welcome to Season 3, what we’re calling, Beyond the Matrix.

    In this episode, we challenge you to ask one question: Why are you doing what you’re doing as a family? More specifically, who, or what, is shaping the decisions you make? Do you know why you’re making the decisions you are? Have you ever thought about flipping things upside down and going against what’s “conventional” for our day and age?

    We take a listener question that, though may not be your circumstance, applies to many of us who feel stuck in how we lead our families.

  • 7 Ways to Transform the Heart of Your Family

    7 Ways to Transform the Heart of Your Family
    Jan 1 2025
    This is one of our most foundational and transparent episodes. We took the 7 things that have transformed the heart of our family the last number of years and expounded on each of them in a detailed way to help you understand the “why” behind these decisions and how they can change the direction of your family.

    We certainly don’t expect you to implement all 7 of them today, as this is a yearslong journey. However, find the one that most resonates with you right now. Which of these will most move the needle in your family if you were to implement it today? The only way to bring the heart of your family alive is to take permission and choose to lead differently from what our individualistic and rat-racing culture imposes on you.

  • Emotions and the Holy Spirit

    Emotions and the Holy Spirit
    Dec 25 2024
    Living with a heart fully alive is one of the best gifts you can give your family and pass onto your children. But emotions are complicated. They can be clouded by our circumstances, suppressed in favor of “getting things done,” or ignored to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately, this can easily become our default, especially when certain religious traditions equate emotion with sin.

    We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart,” and in episode 5, Josh and Christi discuss how we are to take our emotions to God and partner with the Holy Spirit in them. Are emotions from God? If so, what does He want us to do with them? Can they be a pathway to living a more fulfilled and “lived” life? Listen in as Josh and Christi share how they prayerfully take their emotions to God in prayer, and partner with the Holy Spirit in their everyday lives.

  • The Complicated Relationship Between the Heart & Nervous System

    The Complicated Relationship Between the Heart & Nervous System
    Dec 18 2024
    We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart.” In episode 4, Josh and Christi explain the nervous system and why its primary purpose in our lives — to protect our connection, belonging, and dignity — can actually shut down the heart.

    A deeper understanding of how our bodies were created to survive can lead to deeper levels of empathy for yourself and those you love. Josh and Christi tells stories from their own marriage that highlight how the nervous systems puts up guardians around our hearts, but how also how we can become attuned to what happened and resolve it well so that our hearts remain open and alive to all that’s happening within and around us.
