Is there really a “woke right” or is that label creating more confusion than clarity? In this conversation, Dr. Corey Miller argues that what’s happening in America is downstream from what’s been happening on college campuses for decades. Ideas move from campus to culture, and if we don’t name the problem accurately, we won’t be able to respond wisely.

Former Alabama State Senator Henry E. “Hank” Erwin is known as the “storyteller of motivation!” His talent for telling stories that entertain and result in commitment and action are legendary. He learned the art of storytelling from his late father Medal of Honor Recipient Henry “Red” Erwin who held small crowds spellbound with stories of bravery in World War II. The stories were so detailed and compelling that Hank embraced the art form into his own life. Hank became a committed Christian in college and married his sweetheart Shelia Daniel the day before his graduation. They have been together now fifty two years, with two married sons, and seven grandchildren. But it was telling stories that guided his life. Hank attended Dallas Seminary in Texas to become a preacher. But during those days, God opened a door into radio and TV to become an on air personality. So he plunged into media for nearly thirty years as a journalist and talk show host. Tonight, he and Brad discuss Hank’s GAP26 movement to return God to his rightful place within American politics.

In this episode, we’re talking about adaptability and flexibility in marriage. We discuss those everyday moments when staying open and teachable really matter. It’s not just our big decisions, but our small, ordinary interactions that shape how we live life together. Listen in as we explore what psychological flexibility looks like in marriage and how growing in this area can create more peace, safety, and connection over time.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE

• What psychological flexibility is and why it matters in marriage
• Why everyday moments—not just big decisions—often create the most tension
• Common roadblocks to flexibility, including control, rigidity, and shutdown
• How inflexibility affects emotional safety and connection over time
• Practical ways to practice flexibility without losing yourself
• How awareness creates space for better choices in marriage

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Psychological flexibility isn’t about being passive or agreeable—it’s about staying open and grounded.
• Inflexibility often shows up as shutdown, control, or resistance rather than overt conflict.
• Small, everyday interactions shape the emotional climate of a marriage.
• Control can feel like safety, but it often comes from fear.
• Awareness doesn’t fix everything, but it does create space for healthier responses.

US TIME CHALLENGE

This week, each of you choose one small area where you’ll intentionally practice flexibility. It might be listening without defending, staying open to a different preference, or pausing instead of shutting down.

At the end of the week, talk about what you noticed—not what you accomplished. The goal isn’t to “do it right,” but to build awareness and connection.

Do you feel emotionally safe in your marriage? Because many couples do not. Emotional connection in marriage isn't just a “nice to have,” but truly a foundational priority for every relationship. Drawing from chapter one of my newest book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples, I explore the original couple from the Bible, Adam and Eve, and what their story teaches us about shame, emotional safety, and intimacy.

I walk you through the real reason emotional disconnection happens—even in marriages that appear “just fine” on the outside. Sometimes it’s not a crisis or trauma, but a subtle emotional chasm that grows over time because of unaddressed issues like shame, self-protection, defensiveness, harsh communication, and even minimizing feelings. I share practical, actionable advice—five things to watch for that break down emotional safety, and five intentional ways you can rebuild trust, openness, and genuine intimacy with your spouse.

Key Takeaways:

• Why emotional connectivity is a marriage requirement, not a bonus

• The key differences between boundaries and emotional walls

• How both men and women have a critical need for emotional safety (and why men may keep their guard up)

• The “big five” behaviors that damage emotional safety—including harsh words, defensiveness, minimizing, unforgiveness, and judgment

• Simple but powerful tips to rebuild emotional safety: listening well, asking thoughtful questions, affirming your spouse, and always focusing on your love

• Straightforward actions you can take today—even without a marriage coach—to move your relationship from disconnected to deeply connected

If you’ve ever felt a disconnect in your marriage—even if everything looks good on the outside—this episode is for you. I’m sharing honest reflections, practical advice, and biblical wisdom to help you rebuild emotional safety, intimacy, and lasting connection with your spouse.

Family discipleship, Christian parenting, and teaching toddlers about Jesus are at the heart of this conversation with pastor, author, and podcaster Adam Griffin, lead pastor of Eastside Community Church and co-host of The Family Discipleship Podcast. Adam shares the vision behind his new children’s board book, What Will You Teach Me?, and why the earliest lessons—colors, numbers, animals, and music—can all point children back to God.

This episode explores how parents can integrate faith into everyday learning, why discipleship doesn’t require seminary training, and how spiritual formation begins long before children can read or speak.

Highlights

• Why most Christian kids’ books miss an opportunity for deeper discipleship

• How everyday lessons like math, science, and language reveal God’s design

• The inspiration behind What Will You Teach Me?

• Why this board book is designed for babies through age four

• How repetition helps children learn truth through story and visuals

• What “family discipleship” really means—and why it’s often overcomplicated

• Bridging the gap between spiritual and secular education

• Why discipleship deserves the same priority as academics

• How parents can lead spiritually without being experts

• Adam’s vision for future family discipleship resources
