Famous at Home

Let’s be honest, parenting is the most guilt-ridden, shaming role on the planet. Which is why a nagging question seems to live under the surface of our very full lives, “Am I doing a good job with my kids?”

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about what really matters when it comes to getting the outcomes we most desire in our kids. They also define emotional safety, talk about why parenting is the wrong term, and get honest about what our kids really need from us.

"What's going on within your spouse's heart matters more than what's going on between the two of you." The gateway to finding your way home to your spouse is through his / her heart. 

But that can be easier said than done with there's already so much hurt built up through the years. In this episode, Josh and Christi lay out practical ways to fight for your spouse's heart while also prioritizing the healing of your own.

Do you feel stuck in your marriage? Do you wish you could sometimes show up differently in how you parent your children? Do you desire a slower pace of life for your family?
 
We all run into problems in our closest relationships, especially with those we love the most. But what if the problems we face are intensified, or perhaps even created, because of our own internal insecurities or lack of feeling loved? 

In episode 4 of season 1, Finding Your Way Home, we talk about the foundational solution to many of our relational concerns: Finding your way home to the Father's love. Unfortunately, like any other relationship, this takes time and practice, especially if we already don't feel lovable. 

In this episode, we discuss how we and our relationships change when we feel “delighted in,” we share our own stories of experiencing the Father’s love, and we offer insights on how we can move from intellectually understanding the Father’s love for us, to genuinely experiencing it. 

Time Stamps:
1:02 Introduction: The definition of joy
3:08 Why we start with the Father’s love
3:37 Relational problems in light of the matrix we find ourselves in
5:45 The relational experience of love, particularly from the Father
9:30 How life looks when we know someone is delighted to be with us
11:01 The effects of not being delighted with yourself
13:38 How we love others is an overflow of how we feel loved
15:38 Right brain versus left brain experiences of love
19:19 The journey to “experiencing” the Father’s love
25:22 When the Father doesn’t feel safe to come home to
26:50 Why the thing that gives us the most life is often the thing we most resist
28:38 The way the Father speaks to each of His kids
30:03 How the Father sees and chooses us
33:36 The feeling of “home” and Christi’s 30-day challenge for you

We want to introduce you to one of the most joyful collaborations ever. We asked our friends, Wes and Callie Strunk, from NONAH, to create a bumper for the Famous at Home podcast. It was so good that they turned it into a full-on song and inspirational message.

Finding our way home is easier when we stop chasing the things leading us away from it. Which leads to a question you must answer if you want to be famous at home, "What is my 'chase' costing me?"

In episode 2 of season 1, Finding Your Way Home, we talk about what it means to chase, share our own stories of “chasing,” and offer insights on giving up the chase.

The Famous at Home podcast has a new beginning! Though we have over 400 previous episodes out in the world, this is the start of a new vision for Famous at Home, what we call “red carpet to revival.”

Welcome to Season 1!

Each new season will consist of seven episodes and be built around specific topics to help bring revival to your family. Season 1 is called “Find Your Way Home,” where we talk about the meaning behind this new phrase and why it sets the foundation for the emotional connection and spiritual growth you desire in your own home.

In today’s episode, we talk about the reckoning that happened in our marriage and why nearly quitting Famous at Home was toiling the soil for the dead seeds to give birth to life all over again. As we talk about moving from “red carpet to revival,” our hope is that you see how it applies to your family in this cultural moment you find yourself in.

Parenting struggles are real. Screentime. Discipline. Anxiety.

But what if we’re focused on the wrong things? 
Instead of trying to fix and manage the problems, what if we lived out the solution? 
What if the environment we cultivate is the very thing our children need?

Welcome to episode 4 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

In this episode, Josh talks about their current parenting journey, the two competing worldviews that influence how kids experience joy, and how we can give our kids permission to experience joy!

Here are some highlights:

• How two competing worldviews influence the amount of joy in our home
• Why we need permission to experience joy
• Why resourcefulness is a cheat code for helping kids live joyful lives
• The one way to step into joy this week as a family, no matter how difficult the season you find yourself in right now

This series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below). You can use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

There are many misconceptions about what practicing the Sabbath, or ceasing from work, really entails. People often view Sabbath as a day for lounging around the house, binging a show on Netflix, or just doing nothing. Those things can be fine, but do they really bring about "soul rest?"

In this episode, Josh and Christi go in-depth about the purpose and meaning of Sabbath, and the unique ways they have learned to cultivate it in their home. 

Josh and Christi talk about:

• Shabbat dinner as a fun, family-centric rhythm for your weekly Sabbath
• Why Sabbath rest is a gift from God and how you can make it work to fit your family dynamic
• How to fight against the pull of Western culture away from the biblical gift of Sabbath

This series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below). You can use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.
