Join this special Thanksgiving edition of HomeMatters with Eric and Gena! All attention is pointed towards being grateful during this time of year, but do you look for reasons to be thankful as a couple and as a family in every season of your life? Maintaining a sense of gratitude can change the atmosphere of your home and the trajectory of your life if you can learn to look for the blessing and opportunity to tell of the goodness of the Lord!

The Bible is pretty clear! The primary responsibility assigned to children, by God, is to honor and obey their parents! Why should they obey and why are parents instructed to teach them in this principle? These thoughts are the topic for today's podcast with Eric and Gena. The teaching may not be popular, or easy—but, if you are a parent, you don’t want to miss this conversation! Parenting well is possible and required according to God’s Word!

This is part 2 of a very frank conversation about intimacy and sex in marriage. Do men really spell intimacy, S-E-X? Are men really interested in intimacy at all? What does “intimacy” look like to your husband, ladies? Hopefully, this weeks’ episode will help give understanding to some of these often asked questions. Eric and Gena are open in this conversation as they discuss the sexual needs of a husband and how those can be met and understood by his wife.

Join this candid conversation between Eric and Gena about sex and intimacy and about what men might need to know about their wives. Gena is honest and straightforward in revealing the heart of a woman, a woman’s intimate needs and sexual desires that may be overlooked or unknown to her husband. You don’t want to miss this episode! And–in case you’re wondering—YES—the next episode will be What Women Need to Know About Intimacy and Sex!

On what things do you expend your energy? Are you busy fighting battles that you really have no need to be involved in? Do you really know those things that are “fight worthy”? This episode of HomeMatters challenges us to make sure we are fighting—because marriage and family are a worthy cause! At the same time, we’re challenged to make sure that the “enemy” we’ve named, or chosen to fight, is the real enemy who is worthy of our time and energy. Join the fight—the right fight!

There is much to navigate in relationships, in parenting, and in life in general! There are decisions to make and challenges to handle, daily. The good news is that there is a right way to handle all of that—every decision that needs to be made. And–many times, we already know what needs to be done. It is just the strength to do that “right thing” that challenges us. Occasionally, we may also have real questions about what is truly “right”. Tune in as the discussion unfolds on how to know what is “right”.

Eric and Gena believe that intimacy and sex are NOT meant to be seasonal in the life of a marriage. Do things change? Absolutely! However, if we make the transitions we need to make, intimacy and sex will continue to be a healthy, thriving part of the relationship. Join this real talk about the needed transitions that will keep intimacy alive in every season of your marriage!

Could your relationship be stunted in its growth by what’s going on in your head? Are you allowing negative thoughts to sabotage intimacy and oneness? It’s easy to get caught up in only thinking about what is wrong in a relationship. It is vital however, in marriage and family life, that we follow the guidelines of God’s Word in Philippians 4:8 where we’re told to think on the good stuff! Join Eric and Gena as they look at the signs that prove you’re focusing more on the “wrongs” than you need to. It really does matter what’s going on in your head!

Many studies have shown that young adults are leaving the church. The reasons for that are varied, but Eric and Gena believe that this does not have to be the case! Yes—we should teach our children to love God first, but a healthy love and appreciation for the church is also a necessary ingredient in passing on godly heritage and legacy that lasts through generations. Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, or an adult without your own children, tune in and see what we all can do together—-for the next generation—to cultivate not only a love for God, but a love for His Body, His Bride—the Church!
