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

    Who Did You Marry? [Emotionally Healthy Marriage 1 of 5]
    Jul 9 2024
    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]
    Jul 1 2024
    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).
