What are the lies you are believing? On today's show, we walk through three common lies that many of us are prone to believe. We explore where lies entered our story as humans and how we can combat them. So often, our enemy carefully crafted the lies we hear for each of us. We hope today's conversation brings hope and healing to a lie you believe. Enjoy!

Three lies that we believe:

1) Our worth is based on what we can produce

2) I'm just a bad parent/human

3) It's all up to me

We have an incredible guest on the show today; Andy Crouch joins Brook for an insightful and rich conversation about technology and the family. You may know Andy Crouch from his books The Techwise Family or The Life We Were Looking For. In this episode, we ask Andy questions like, what is the family for? And what worked or didn’t work as Andy and his wife raised their two kids? Brook and Andy also explore the superpowers we are drawn to and rely on and how choosing to be happy now or happy later can either transform us in the way we want to go or the way we don’t want to go. Enjoy!

Complaining is not new to the human experience. We all suffer on this side of heaven; some is circumstantial, and some is perspective. Thankfully, the Bible has a lot to share with us about complaining. We hope you will join us for our conversation today, where we talk about perspective in suffering, some sneaky ways the enemy likes to fuel the fire and a few helpful questions to ask amid your grumbling. We also talk about negative development and some essential tools to help you escape a cycle of complaining. Enjoy!

We have the whole crew here today, and we are diving into a great question that was submitted to us: How do you talk to your kids about alcohol in a culture that normalizes it? There are a lot of nuances to this topic and it’s not black and white. We discuss conviction versus preference, parenting out of relationship, and how easy it is to turn to external things rather than God. We hope you join us as we talk about what the Bible says about alcohol and how to live in a way that we can offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to Jesus. Enjoy!

How do we practically train our children to walk with Jesus and do what He did? On today’s show, we talk about a 4- step process that shows us how to bring our children on the journey with us. Just like Jesus involves us in His work, He wants us to do the same with our children. There are different stages in training our children and as you walk through each stage you give them the gift of leadership and equip them for their individual God-given callings. Enjoy!

4-step process

1) I do- you watch

2) I do- you help

3) You do- I help

4) You do- I watch

Three Things to Live Beyond Ourselves:

1) Hospitality

2) Generosity

3) Service

It is so much more than the words you say or don’t say, although they are important. They unpack God’s heart for forgiveness and how it goes hand in hand with apologies. They also go through the 5 steps to apologize from the book, When Sorry Isn’t Enough by Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas. Enjoy!

5 steps to an apology:

1) Expressing Regret

2) Accepting responsibility

3) Making restitution

4) Genuinely repenting

A.J. Swoboda is back on the show today! A.J. and Brook sit down to talk and laugh about deep thoughts that are vulnerable and real. Their conversation gets into desires and how critical it is to live in a place of satisfaction in Christ. In this topic of desires, the conversation covers so many facets, from unwanted desires, practical desires, the balance of naming our desires and knowing when to die to them, how we bless our children, how we can learn from those closest to us to be transformed, and how we need to see Jesus in his humanity to relate to God. Enjoy!
