Stop Raising Compliant Kids w/ Dr. Charles Fay on Love & Logic Oct 06, 2026

Show notes

🙏🏼 Ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of your child’s entire spiritual path while constantly refereeing daily household chaos? Listen in as Dr. Charles Fay joins Karissa and Adam to completely revamp the way we think about modern parenting.

We'll unpack why forced behavioral compliance falls short of true heart transformation, and how allowing kids to navigate affordable mistakes today builds self-reliant, spiritually grounded adults who take true ownership of their faith tomorrow.

This is an old episode that you guys loved, so we're bringing it back!

Adam and Karissa recorded this when they had just finished EntreLeadership Summit where they heard Patrick Lencioni speak. His book "5 Dysfunctions of a Team" is so powerful and SO APPLICABLE to marriage, so we figured we'd share our reflections on these dynamics with you!

You can grab his book here: https://amzn.to/3zAKBhY

Rating YOUR Marriage Advice Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

🔥💍 Which pieces of “good marriage advice” are actually helpful, and which ones might quietly make your marriage worse?

We are back to rate the advice YOU submitted, from “the first year is the hardest” to “forgive and forget,” “marriage is 50/50,” and even the controversial question of whether a husband should be allowed to golf whenever he wants. 😅 Along the way, we'll unpack the nuance behind each one and share a better way to think about communication, sex, forgiveness, prioritizing your marriage, and loving your spouse wholeheartedly. Some advice gets an A, some gets an F, and a few sound wise until you look a little closer.

RATING Popular Marriage ADVICE (The Last One is the WORST) Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

😬 Not all marriage advice deserves an A. In this episode, Adam and Karissa put seven common pieces of marriage advice to the test - from “marriage is all about compromise” to “happy wife, happy life” - and give each one a grade. Some sound wise but need a little more nuance, some are surprisingly solid, and a few might actually be setting couples up for disaster.

Come find out which advice gets an A… and which ones newlyweds should stop being told. 👀

The Secret to Genuine CONFIDENCE (Hint: It's Not Thinking You're Amazing) Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

Most of us have confidence all WRONG (especially in today's self-righteous and entitled culture.) Why do you think even highly successful people starve for validation? How secure are you in the possibility of failure? Let's explore the difference between chasing approval, trying to manufacture your own worth, and receiving an identity that doesn't have to be earned.

Think You Have LOW DRIVE? Think Again! Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

We've all done it... We've labeled ourselves and our spouse as the "high/low drive" one. We assume one party can get it on at any given time and the other just generally isn't in the mood. The truth is, it's much more complex than that. In this episode, we're gonna share a simple tool that will take you minutes to complete, but give you so much insight into each others' desire for sex.
