Family is the first and most important institution created by God, yet we often live by default instead of by design.

Families on mission vs. family AS mission
Seeking unity around important things
How to be a family that "sends" each other out on mission

April 09, 2019 The Hearts and Feelings of Men
One of the biggest problems faced by modern men (and their wives) is the numbing and inoculation against feeling true emotions. For some, even when they do feel clearly, it's equally as challenging to articulating those feeling in a healthy way.
In this episode, we talked about the hearts and feelings of men, how wives can help their husbands process them. We ended the episode calling men to feel deeply about things that truly matter.

March 28, 2019Building an Emotionally Safe Marriage (Dr. Josh and Christi Straub)
Josh and Christi are the real deal. Highly educated, faith-filled, and articulate communicators. In today's special interview episode, we talked about what it takes to have an emotionally safe marriage. We discussed the "fight, flight, or freeze" response to trauma in your marriage, as well as our tendency to gloss over or forget to utilize 'emotion language' as couples.
We enjoyed our conversation, and we trust that will too!
