  • 45. Stressed??

    Did you know there is such a thing as good stress? Find out on this episode what the difference is between eustress and distress and ways to handle each of them in your life.  

    Things like...

    • Exercise
    • Keeping a sense of humor
    • Being able to say no to things
    • Not taking things personally
    • Forgiveness
    • Ultimately, we want you to lean into Jesus no matter what life throws your way. Over and over in scripture, we see examples of praise in the middle of, or before, the battle. God wants you to come to Him with all things and He offers us peace despite circumstances. Learn to stand in His truth and He will sustain you through every aspect of your life.

      • Philippians 4:6-9
      • James 1:2-4
      • 1 Peter 5:7
      • Challenge for the week - What does love require of you? Look at your spouse, family, co-workers, and ask yourself this question. Then...do it!

        • 44. My Way or the Highway...

          Do you struggle with control? Think about it again, do you find yourself fearful or angry? These things can be evidence of a desire to control things in your life. If you don't struggle with control, do you find yourself dealing with passivity? Do you remain disconnected from your faith, marriage, kids, and circumstances? God doesn't call us to live our lives in either of these places. He wants us to live purposed and surrendered lives. We want that for you as well. Come join us for this discussion and don't forget the challenge at the end.

          • 43. Can You Hear Me Now?

            Have you ever thought about the difference between hearing and listening? In this episode, we discuss the nuances of communication and some questions you can ask yourself to become a better listener. We were blessed to be panelists at the Intentional Marriage Conference where this topic was discussed by Kevin & Jessica Bullock. Please go follow them @https://linktr.ee/Jessicasbullock for more great advice and subscribe to her podcast.

            Ask yourself the following questions to assess the areas you need to improve.

            • Am I a good listener?
            • Do I have a low tolerance for emotions?
            • Do I have resentment that is preventing me from communicating effectively?
            • Do I shut down?
            • Can I improve our recovery time after an argument?
            • Take time to ask yourself these questions and have a discussion with your spouse. Communication is an area we should never stop growing.

                          Have you ever struggled with only being consistent in something if you see an immediate change? Do you give up easily when/if you don't see the end result?  

                          What if you developed consistency: 

                          • Spiritually? 
                          • Physically? 
                          • Mentally? 
                          • As a spouse? 
                          • As a parent? 
                          • Verses referenced: 

                            • Galatians 6:9

                              On this episode we dive into what purity is and both the pitfalls and guardrails that we have experienced. It is is so easy to adopt a culture of acceptance and assume that we can never maintain purity with what we see, what we hear, and how we behave, but that is not the case!

                              We invite you to be radically different and experience your marriage the way God designed it to be. With great discipline comes great freedom!!

                              Scriptures referenced in this episode:

                              • Matthew 6:22
                              • 1st Corinthians 10:13
