The Union Podcast brings gospel-centred conversations that will help you find wholeness in the areas of sexuality, identity, and relationships. 

What comes to mind when you hear the word courtship? Do you immediately get blasted back into history and feel like you’re living in an episode of Downton Abbey? As much as courtship has a strong sense of tradition to it, some principles are life-giving, trans-generational and healthy to use to pursue developing a relationship.

We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Jim Anderson at his home in Spokane, Washington to talk about the framework for healthy relationship development. Additionally, we addressed common misconceptions about courtship in developing romantic relationships, shedding light on how intentional and thoughtful courtship can lead to deeper, more meaningful connections without shame and regret.

Jim is a passionate advocate for the next generation and the body of Christ. Through the work of his ministry, Sexuality Unmasked Jim shares profound insights on how the church can walk in truth and righteousness, particularly regarding sexuality. His vision of the church as a place of restoration and healing shines through in every word. With eight children, Jim and his wife Lisa have a wealth of personal stories and practical advice to offer.

Key Principles Discussed:
Purity
Protection
Honour
Communication
Witness

Episode #90- Jim Anderson On Decoding Courtship and Five Principles for Healthy Relationships

Healthy and thriving marriages filled with love are cultivated over longer periods. Just like with grapes grown to make wine, it can take years of purposeful attention to the proverbial soil quality of this covenantal relationship. Sometimes there can be little rocks under the surface that end up choking the life and love out of marriages.  Little things left unchecked can become big problems. 

So, how do we identify these rocks and get them out of the soil of our marriages so that the fruit of this relationship can be intoxicatingly healthy?  

This is exactly what we are going to discuss in today's episode with Neil & Sharol Josephson from FamilyLife.

Before stepping into the call to work with FamilyLife, Neil worked as a Bible school president and Sharol as a TV broadcaster. Together they also worked as marriage pastors at a large church in Southern California. In addition, they have served as the directors of FamilyLife Canada and have recently stepped into a role as the directors of FamilyLife International. Neil and Sharol have been married for over 40 years and have a great depth of understanding and wisdom in what it takes to have a thriving marriage. This was a great conversation and we know it will impact your life.

Episode #89- Neil & Sharol Josephson On Getting The Rocks Out Of Your Marriage

We often talk about how God is the "Author and Finisher of our faith" and how He "orders our steps". However, when it comes to the reality of singleness, we have a hard time believing that it could be under His authorship. This is compounded by the overemphasis that can be placed on marriage within the church at times, which leaves us wondering, "Do I write my story, or is God writing my story?" In this conversation, we will be discussing these very issues with our guest, Meisha Watson.

Meisha has worked in the Canadian entertainment industry for over 12 years. She has hosted on YTV's The Zone and the ZoneWeekend, presented at the Canadian Screen Awards, and interviewed top chefs from across Canada. Meisha is the executive producer of the hilarious, musically led, biblical teaching variety show for kids called 'HEY MEISHA!', which airs on Saturday mornings on YES TV and streams on YouTube, Yippee TV, and the Castle TV App. In addition, Meisha also produces and hosts the podcast "My Single Story", where she gets real about the dynamics of being a single Christian. Meisha's guests join her to discuss not only the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy, but also to make space for community as we are equipped, heard, and cherished by God. You can find "My Single Story" podcast on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. Check the show notes to stay up to speed and follow along with Meisha.

In This Episode we cover:
-How to breakthrough in trusting God in your singleness
-Recommendations for people in the “dating world” 
-How to stay hopeful
-How to hold to convictions 
-How to involve your community
-Navigating the challenges of the online dating world
And more…

Episode #88- Meisha Watson On Finding God in Your Single Story

Have you ever wondered how we ended up in a world where masculinity gets a bad rap? You might have seen headlines like "Why Can't We Hate Men?" or come across hashtags like #KillAllMen. It's a trend that's hard to ignore, with articles titled "I Hate Men," "No Good Men," and "Are Men Necessary?" You might have also heard claims that evangelical Christian men are prime examples of toxic behaviour. However, the research tells a different story. Studies show that men who are committed to their families and attend church regularly are often the most loving husbands and dedicated fathers out there. And get this—they also have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence in the country.

In her book, The Toxic War On Masculinity, Pearcey takes us on a journey through history to uncover how the idea of masculinity became tangled up with negativity. But it's not all doom and gloom. She's also armed with solutions for how we can turn things around. These sociological insights challenge the stereotypes we often hear about men and show us that embracing traditional Christian values can help bridge the gap between the sexes. So, next time you come across a #KillAllMen tweet or a book bashing masculinity, remember that there's more to the story—and that there are steps we can take to create a flourishing world for everyone.

Nancy Pearcey's latest book is The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes. Her earlier books include Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality, The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 19 languages. She is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Christian University. As a former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."

Episode #87- Nancy Pearcey: The Toxic War On  Masculinity

In the journey of building meaningful relationships, it's essential to recognize the impact societal influences, like pornography, can have on our expectations. While it's often unspoken, the truth is that pornography can subtly chip away at the trust and sense of security vital for any relationship to thrive. Yet, in acknowledging this reality, we're presented with an opportunity to foster deeper connections.

Let's envision a future where trust and safety are the cornerstones of our relationships, where love flourishes and freedom reigns. It's about creating spaces where authenticity and intimacy can truly blossom.  So, how do we keep porn out of our lives and relationships in a way that leads to flourishing and freedom? 

This is why Layton and Chelsea Boeve, from the Liberator Podcast, join us here on episode 86. Layton and Chelsea are a married couple from Northern Michigan and are the hosts of the Liberator Podcast. The Liberator Podcast is a discussion of pornography’s hard truths through the lens of stories, science, and Scripture. They bring the perspective of both a man and a woman to remove the barriers of shame and embarrassment that stifle conversations and community around the effects of pornography. 
In this episode, we discuss:

- How does porn addiction affect relationships, and how can young adults navigate open conversations with their partners about this issue?

- Breaking the stigma surrounding porn addiction can be tough. How do you think we can work together to break the stigma while still acknowledging the severity of its effects on our lives?

- Societal perceptions influenced by pornographic content can create unrealistic expectations within relationships. What do you think distinguishes positive sexuality from porn's portrayal of sex?

- When trust is compromised due to issues related to porn consumption, what steps can couples take to rebuild trust and strengthen their emotional intimacy? 

- Are there any specific trust-building exercises or communication techniques that can aid in the healing process?

You can find the Liberator Podcast on Apple or Spotify Podcasts as well as through their website below.

Today I'm reviewing an app for Android and Apple devices called Forest, which is a great example of the growing range of apps that try to change your tech habits and give you more mindfulness and less screentime. On a related note, I was at the checkout line at the pharmacy the other day and I picked up this Time Magazine special edition about Mindfulness, and it has two good articles about digital distraction and mindfulness. The first one called "Devices Mess with Your Brain," by Markham Heid, quotes MIT neuroscience professor Earl Miller on what's called the "switch cost" to your brain of of changing your focus. And the second article, called  "...So give yourself an I-Break" by Ellen Seidman, actually has a lot to do with our app review today. One of Seidman's recommendations is what she calls getting a "digital babysitter," and that's one way to describe what apps like Forest can do for you. As we talked about in my  previous podcast episode, on unplugging from Facebook, unplugging from your your usual smartphone habits can take many forms, and if you want to design your own approach, that episode, plus the article  16 Steps to Turn Your Scattered Smartphone into a Mindfulness Machine, can help you use your existing apps and phone settings to help you unplug. But it can help to not reinvent the wheel, and instead have an app that is designed to help do the work of unplugging for you--and it does one of the fundamental things I recommend in the Mindfulness Machine article, which is to use your phone as a focus timer. But what is the Forest App exactly? At one level, it's a smartphone game. But unlike Angry Birds or Candy Crush, Forest a game you play by successfully staying off of your phone. And at another level it's a tool for timing and measuring your ability to stay off your phone for focused blocks of time.  The app is called Forest because the game is to plant a virtual tree, that takes, for example, ten minutes to grow, and as long as you can stay off your phone long enough, the tree will finish growing and be added to your on-screen forest for today, but if you get back on your phone too fast, the tree withers and dies. Now to tell you a little more about what I like about this app, let me explain what you can do with it before, during, and after your focused unplugging time. Before you unplug, the app has a start screen with a button that will plant your tree, and that will start a timer, which you can set for anything from ten minutes to two hours. Next, during the unplugging,Once you plant the tree, the app moves to push you away from your phone. One of my favorite features is how, while the work timer counts down and the tree grows on-screen, the app also flashes messages to you on-screen, like "stop phubbing!" and " and go back to your work!" And in the paid version of the app, you can even write your own custom motivational messages to yell at yourself. The other important feature that Forest offers while you're focusing is audio to listen to while you're focusing. Fittingly for Forest app, it includes a rainforest sounds loop, and as you plan more trees, you can earn access to to additional ambient sounds like a Paris Café. And as someone who listens to a lot of music and podcasts on my phone too, I appreciated that I could also listen to audio on other apps while planting a tree, as long as I didn't exit the app to do so. And so as I'm sure you're guessing, the tree-planting countdown can end in one of two ways. Either you stay off your phone until the app tells you that your tree has finished growing,, or, you jump back on your phone too early, and your tree dies a tragic early death. Either way, the app will give you credit for the amount of time you stayed focused, and add the living or dead tree to your on-screen forest for the day. I also like how you can tag your focused time blocks with what you were doing, and you can then see graphs day-by-day of what you were focused on and for how long. And you also get points for how long you focused, which you can use to unlock audio tracks or more fun kinds of trees to plant. There are two other things the app lets you do when you've finished growing a tree: First you can share it on social media, although personally I couldn't get that feature to work because I kept fighting with my Android screen overlay settings. Second, the app also lets you set a timer between 1 and 60 minutes to take a break from focusing, which will let you do anything on your phone and then will buzz when the break is done. And one final cool thing that the Forest app does is it lets you donate to a real-world tree-planting nonprofit, which currently is listed as Trees for the Future, which is a group that works with farmers to plant trees in five countries in Africa. So, what's my overall review of the Forest app? I recommend it for anyone who wants to do more focused work and use your phone as a focus timer. The app has a lot of pluses. First, it's a well-designed app that helps make the abstract idea of focusing away from your phone into a fun game. It has some great features but it keeps things simple where it counts, and even the free version with ads is pretty good at not distracting you. Second, the fact that it has both a focus timer and a break timer works very well with time-management approaches I personally use like the Pomadoro Technique. And third, I also like that this app does so well, walking a very careful line between pulling you in and pushing you away. It's the same challenge that all of us, including me on my podcast, are trying to make work doing that jiu-jitsu of using our technology itself to teach us to unplug, has to strike that balance, and I love how well this app succeeds in doing that for me. My only potential minus for the ap is ideally I'd like more of a one-click way of re-upping my time and planting another tree from the "you're finished" page--what you have to do instead is press a back button, then on the free version, close a full-screen ad, and then you get back to the page to plant another tree and start the timer. But that's not a big deal and I really recommend trying this app on for size if you're looking for help staying off your phone while you're doing other things. I hope this review's been helpful. Ultimately for me it's always less about the exact tools you use, and more about what kinds of change they make possible in our lives. But the right tools can make a big difference, and I'm always looking to share them with my listeners and clients. So If there are any apps you'd recommend, let me know. As always, you can reach me on the contact page at mindfultechcoach.com.
