Pairadocs

This week the boys sit down with Stephen Grcevich to discuss his latest book, Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions.  Come on, any book with a title that long has got to be great!  Right?!  Give a listen, because chances are you or someone close to you suffers from some type of mental/emotional difficulty.  This book discusses not only how to minister to them, but how to include them in what God is doing at your church.

This week Jimmy and Josh piggy back off of their discussion with Sam Ponder about the sexism that she experienced while being a lone female in an industry that is all but exclusively male.  That got the guys thinking about sexism within the Christian community.  Is it real, or are some people simply making much ado about nothing?  Has the traditional protestant doctrine of women can't be pastors and wives are to submit to their husbands opened the door to sexual discrimination that many of us don't even notice?  Listen in!  If you're a guy or you're a gal, I'm sure both sexes will be equally angry at us by the time the episode concludes! 

This week we kickoff the 2nd half of the 2018 season of Pairadocs, with the boys sitting down with Sam Ponder.  For several years, Sam was one of the hosts of ESPN College Gameday, and most recently is now the host for ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown.  She's a gregarious believer, married to an ex-NFL quarterback, and is in front of millions of people a week talking about pro football.  She maybe the most perfect female alive on the planet!!!  Sam's an amazing woman with an amazing platform with which to share her faith in Christ. Not a shabby way to lead off the fall of 2018!

The Pairadocs sit down and discuss parental anger today. Let's face it, kids are little idiots. They do and say the stupidest things – God love them. It is easy to be frustrated when trying to do life with them, but parental anger is one of the most harmful things we can do and show our children. In this episode Jimmy and Josh share ways you can keep calm when parenting your kids.  

The guys interview Gary Thomas today on the show. Gary is a pastor, author, speaker and he has a passion for his Savior and assisting struggling marriages. Jimmy and Josh discuss his latest book, Cherish.

So, what do we do when our spouse seemingly refuses to love us?  We try to love them.  We go so far as to figure out their love language and love them that way, but it seems to be a one-way street.  Short of a Louisville Slugger up side their head, what's a spouse to do?!  Listen in as the guys give you some much needed options.

The Pairadocs sit down with Jess Connolly today, author of Wild and Free. She and her co-author, Haley Morgan, discuss the importance of women learning to live without the limitations of two foundational insecurities: "I am too much" and "I am not enough." Listen in as she describes how important of a concept this is to grasp for husbands and parents of young women.

Jimmy and Josh discuss not letting emotions control your marital relationship. When it comes to marriage there is a lot of attention paid to the fact that emotions should be given and received. We should have more, not less, emotions, correct? It depends. The guys talk about the dangers of having too many emotions in marriage.

Jimmy talks about his new book, "Fearless Parenting." 

How does your family treat school? Does it run your family? Does your child believe you're only satisfied with him if he makes good grades? Believe it or not, school is way too important in our society today. The Pairadocs discuss ways to limit its importance while still keeping it a priority.
