Mostly at a loss for words, Jamie and Brian share their heavy hearts regarding their personal grief over the state of the world right now...yes, in regards to the collective reaction to the horrific, extremely public assassination of Charlie Kirk, but more widely, to the state of the human heart in today's world.

Not wanting to make any political statements, or discuss "conspiracy theories," or deep dive into one of a hundred rabbit holes, they simply share their sadness over the hatred that has become so normalized, especially on and by social media platforms, and that has destroyed civility in this country and around the world.  Yes, these are sad days, and they didn't just "arrive" out of nowhere.  Not wanting to be insensitive to the victims or families of tragic murders that happen every day, they acknowledge that this is nothing new, and that it is just a symptom of a deeper societal issue(s).  

Join us as we pray for our nation and nations around the globe, and God, come heal our land!

Made you look!!  Ok, so you may not be having an affair, or cheating on your spouse, but are you prioritizing your golf game, or your girl's night above your marriage?  Do you ever have to use the term "kitchen pass" around your buddies?  Have you "joked" with your girlfriends that you feel like a "hunting widow" every September through December?

In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss prioritizing your marriage above EVERYTHING ELSE.  Although it takes some sacrificial living, and making some difficult choices, in the long run, giving your best to your marriage, your family, and your spouse will pay dividends like you could never believe.  

Be inspired this week to put your spouse first, and keep the main thing, the main thing!

Welcome back - and thank you for being here!!  We missed you all.  We're looking forward to Season 3, where we'll be sharing some more guest interviews, as well as some family/parenting content, as well as our usual marriage/relationship fare.

In our first episode of the new season, we dive into the work-a-day world, why we work "40 hours a week," leaving little time for ourselves, our passions/hobbies, and the people in our lives that truly matter to us.  What got us here, and is there a way out!?  We discuss the temptation to think we're trapped, even if we want to work less hours, or spend more "me" time during the week, and the cynical, "yeah, easy for you to say" attitude. We challenge our listeners, (and ourselves) to become curious about the statement, "You don't have to live this way."  Come along, and we hope you enjoy it.

We might sound like a broken record, but when it comes to issues that are problematic in marriage, none is more conspicuously at the top of the list these days than SOCIAL MEDIA, and our @#$% phones!!  In today's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about the prevalence of "early divorce," throwing in the towel WAY too early, and how easy it has become in our current culture (not easy, as in not difficult emotionally, rather convenient).  And what is leading many to be discontent, comparing their relationships or spouses to an on-line unicorn, is the addiction to social media, and the negative bias that we all have once we fixate on our differences.

Brian and Jamie challenge us to "fast" from our phones and social media, for a pre-determined length of time, and to notice the positive changes in our lives, and in our marriages.

Note - this will be our last podcast until the first of September.  Enjoy the fast or the reruns, and we'll see you in the Fall!  We love you all!

This week, Jamie, is inspired by a Ben Rector post, talking about a chance encounter with the owners of a newish restaurant in San Jose, CA, called The Second Wife, brings some thoughts about putting yourself out there, risking "failure," and what that risk can bring into the world.  Although not crowded (like, he was the only one there) when Ben walked in, he thought about the passion of the owners who had previously meticulously laid out the silverware on each table, how the cooks in the kitchen were prepared, and even how the owner commented, "Oh, you'll LOVE that dish," after he had ordered. 

Brian and Jamie get into the divine, creative spark in each of us that is just waiting to be birthed into the world, and how many times, we may miss the opportunity to see God bring them to fruition, many times due to a variety of fears.

Be inspired today to do the thing, write the book, start the business, record the content, make the phone call - do it scared!!!

And as always, THANK YOU to our generous donors - we COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

You are in for a treat!!!  In today's episode, you will be blown away by our new friend, Kay Smith.  Jamie and I met Kay recently at one of our favorite Mexican food joints, and instantly knew we had encountered a kindred spirit!  After just a couple of brief conversations, we knew we had to interview Kay for the podcast - mainly focusing on her hospitable manner, and the incredible culture in which she leads and works.  But, boy, were we in for a surprise!!  Who knew Kay was a chef in a former life, had grown up with incredible challenges, had been through a fairly recent divorce, and had backpacked her way through 9 countries in 5 months - solo!!!!  Wow!

Sit back and enjoy an incredibly deep conversation about spiritual connection, and inner healing and transformation.  Thank you, Kay!

(***MY APOLOGIES FOR THE SECOND CAMERA CUTTING OUT, THE LAST 13 MINUTES OF EPISODE IS KAY ONLY)

In today's episode, Jamie and Brian sit down with Zoe Penzes, a dear friend of the family (and girlfriend of another dear friend of the family), and discuss what life is like for a 22 year old female in today's world.  They talk about the sketchy online dating world, navigating how to meet someone in today's culture that has similar values, the fears and concerns about dating, and finding THE ONE.  They discuss why many are opting to wait until much later to get married, if at all, and the temptation to be jaded because of our parents' experiences, as well as all the nightmares we see and hear about on social media.  

We get to hear about Zoe's past, growing up without a father (who tragically passed of cancer when she was 2), and the void that left in her life, and what she felt was missing, and what she was looking for in a partner, and future family.  Zoe shares great advice for anyone looking for a solid, long-lasting relationship...one that will last for the Long Haul!

In today's episode, Brian and Jamie answer a couple of questions from listeners, talk about parenting, and a few things they discussed on their online parenting workshop, as well as some things they've learned about parenting along the way.  They zero in on how important it is to love and support your children, no matter what, even when that is challenging (because you might disagree with their current life choices).
