Famous at Home

How can we live more in the moment? Besides, the here-and-now is a gift, which is why it's called being "present" (see what we did there?!?)

Philippians 4 models for us what it looks like to truly live in the present and receive His peace, which surpasses understanding. However, due to our phones, to-do lists, and stress levels, our minds leave our bodies, leaving us the inability seek calm, pray, and live in peace.

In this episode, we talk about how to get back into our bodies in moments of overwhelm, so that we can shift the atmosphere of our home and cultivate a spiritual growth environment for our kids.

Here are some highlights:

• How to notice when things feel "off" and discern the signs of the times
• Practical ways to get back into your body in the here-and-now
• The calming of your brain and the gift it is to your children when you live in the present
• The power of speaking truth and gratitude aloud
• Getting in the routine of trusting God more than you trust yourself
• Understanding gentleness as your "power under control"

God placed eternity in our hearts (Ecc. 11), and along with that, dreams and desires for using the gifts He's given us. Yet, somewhere along the way, we succumb to the belief that our dreams will never become reality. What is it that holds us back from believing, in faith, for those dreams as a family?

In this episode, we talk about how to utilize dreaming as a means of renewing our mind.

Here are some highlights:

• Being curious about your "why" in dreaming and if you are actually running from something
• How to come alongside a spouse who worries about the future and step into dreaming together
• Understanding the freedom we have to make choices
• Practical ways to rewire your brain to hope again
• Why our kids need us to dream

Have you taken a thousand-piece puzzle and dumped it upside down on a table? Pieces everywhere. Some right side up. Others right side down. Border pieces mixed with middle pieces. That's what our lives feel like as we try to find where all of the pieces fit. Have you ever been there? Perhaps you're there now.

In this episode, we talk about the toll the fast-paced western industrial complex has on our souls, and what we're doing to take care of ourselves so we can show up well for our loved ones.

Here are some highlights:

• How to lengthen our fuse when it's running short
• Practical ways to find soul rest in the day-to-day hustle
• Practical ways to put your body back in regulation
• The most effective strategies to get the outcomes you desire in your kids
• Awareness and repentance as a gateway to freedom

It's the time of year for new rhythms, school routines, and activities. But that also comes with the subtle feeling of disconnection with everyone going in separate directions. In this episode, we talk about how the invention of the clock, light bulb, and iPhone are influencing each of us at a personal and familial level today. We also talk about how you can identify the core essentials that bring your family together, why less is more, and how to "try on" what works for your family.

Here are some highlights:

• How to identify the "less" you need in your life
• How to identify what a good 'ole fashioned "sigh" means for cultivating peace and connection in your home
• How to battle of fear of "being still" and embracing silence so that you can discern what God might be speaking to you

Here are some highlights:

• What it means for the household to partner with Jesus for the restoration of all things
• The generational influence of our kid's purpose

In last week's episode, we revealed the news of our big life transition as a family. Though this particular move was a big one for us, you've likely faced life transitions of all sizes. The end of summer and the beginning of school. Job loss. A new child. The death of a parent or grandparent.

No matter how big or small, all transitions feel important. That's why so many of us want to know that we're hearing from God as we discern what He's doing and pray through next steps and the days ahead. In this episode, we share a behind-the-scenes look at our recent decision-making process and how we discern when God just might be up to something.

We talk about:

• Why transparency with God makes all the difference
• Why it's important to pay attention when something feels "off"
• How to recognize what you might be idolizing and discerning if your decisions are in their purest form
• How to make the little ones under your roof feel seen and loved in the middle of transition

One of the most frequent questions we're asked is how we maintain a spirit of peace with a family of five and all we have going on. "How do you carry such calm in your interactions with each other?" wrote one long-time listener. To begin, peace doesn't come without a fight. In a world of instant gratification, we too easily settle for moments of peace; but anything that doesn't last is counterfeit. In this episode, we talk about practical ways you can war for and cultivate peace in your home.  We talk about: 

• Why our bodies feel safer in chaos than peace
• Prayer as a weapon for the war for peace
• Why it's important to take dominion over what God has given you
• Keeping short accounts of sin in our lives
• Playing the long game in the day-to-day overwhelm
