Family Fortitude

Life can get tough, but it is during these challenging times that resilience and principles become our shield. Joy is not always found in grandeur, but often in small moments like hearing your teenage daughters having  a playful moment with each other.  In our latest episode, we take you on a journey of finding joy amidst life's rollercoaster, drawing inspiration from Ecclesiastes 8:15. We reflect on how life, despite being disrespectful at times can be rewarding.  And how every day can be a celebration if we decide to truly live it.

As we wrap up, we emphasize the importance of keeping our eyes on the prize, trusting God's plan, and staying motivated even amidst life's hurdles. So, why not join us for this enlightening and uplifting conversation?

Life literally be lifing.  And sometimes we find ourselves in less than desirable situations.  Learning to embrace the sucky aspects of life, job loss, the death of a loved one, a failed relationship, a health challenge can all be hard.  We want to encourage you to not just crawl in bed, pull the covers and quit but to actually press through to the other side of the sucky thing happening in your life.  Gain God's perspective in the midst of pain, trouble or loss and there you will see light at the end of the tunnel.

Ever find yourself in a season where things seem to be shifting around you?  In this episode we get back in the saddle and talk about some of the changes that have happened in our lives over the past two years.  Transition can be hard but the fruit that comes is so rewarding.  We encourage you to embrace  change and learn the rhythm of the new season you may find yourself in.  Take a listen!

In this episode we take time out to describe our perspectives on today’s racial tension crisis from the standpoint of a black family that moves in various predominantly white circles. This is a special episode because like many families we are semi quarantined in a state of full house under one roof. We were joined by the “Big 3,” our first 3 children to discuss multiple topics. We take on being black in academia and athletics, discuss white expectations and tackle experiencing microaggressions in our real lives.

In this episode we address the most recent unprecedented events concerning the COVID-19 virus that is making a global impact.  Rather than speak on the troubling facts regarding this virus we thought it would be better to speak life as it is affecting our entire world.  We started with the Bible verse in Genesis 50:20 and sprinkled in Romans 8:28. God did not send this virus but he does have a plan to bring good to humanity because he is always showing Himself to be unrivaled in the earth in the face of adversity. As many are facing difficult times around the globe we hope to bring a glimmer of light to help encourage you

Ever tried to set a new standard in your home only to be met with serious resistance? On this episode, we explore culture setting in our homes and families. We begin by sharing how our number one rule for communication in our house leads to honor flowing between spouses, parents, and children, and between siblings. We discuss giving our kids a voice and training them to respect and honor boundaries in our home. Ultimately, we view our home as a small community, which has an atmosphere of safety for feelings, thoughts, and questions to flow freely without judgment or shock. This approach has allowed our children to draw close and talk about things they wouldn’t necessarily be comfortable sharing with others. You just gotta be ready for anything. Listen in as we dive into building an intentional, godly family culture!

 On this episode, we dive into what it takes to develop a cohesive family identity, which we believe begins with establishing a culture of honor in the home. Families truly ought to be run like a business- intentionally, strategically, and undergirded with good, consistent communication. Join us as we get into the nitty-gritty of building a strong family by cultivating a strong identity.
