Families Who Dream Sep 29, 2023

Show notes

God placed eternity in our hearts (Ecc. 11), and along with that, dreams and desires for using the gifts He's given us. Yet, somewhere along the way, we succumb to the belief that our dreams will never become reality. What is it that holds us back from believing, in faith, for those dreams as a family?
In this episode, we talk about how to utilize dreaming as a means of renewing our mind.
Here are some highlights:

Being curious about your "why" in dreaming and if you are actually running from something
How to come alongside a spouse who worries about the future and step into dreaming together
Understanding the freedom we have to make choices
Practical ways to rewire your brain to hope again
Why our kids need us to dream

Core Essentials for Family Connection Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

It's the time of year for new rhythms, school routines, and activities. But that also comes with the subtle feeling of disconnection with everyone going in separate directions. In this episode, we talk about how the invention of the clock, light bulb, and iPhone are influencing each of us at a personal and familial level today. We also talk about how you can identify the core essentials that bring your family together, why less is more, and how to "try on" what works for your family.
Here are some highlights:

How to identify the "less" you need in your life
How to identify what a good 'ole fashioned "sigh" means for cultivating peace and connection in your home
How to battle of fear of "being still" and embracing silence so that you can discern what God might be speaking to you

Navigating Life Transitions Well Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

In last week's episode, we revealed the news of our big life transition as a family. Though this particular move was a big one for us, you've likely faced life transitions of all sizes. The end of summer and the beginning of school. Job loss. A new child. The death of a parent or grandparent.
No matter how big or small, all transitions feel important. That's why so many of us want to know that we're hearing from God as we discern what He's doing and pray through next steps and the days ahead. In this episode, we share a behind-the-scenes look at our recent decision-making process and how we discern when God just might be up to something.
We talk about:

Why transparency with God makes all the difference
Why it's important to pay attention when something feels "off"
How to recognize what you might be idolizing and discerning if your decisions are in their purest form
How to make the little ones under your roof feel seen and loved in the middle of transition

Fighting for Peace in Your Home Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

One of the most frequent questions we're asked is how we maintain a spirit of peace with a family of five and all we have going on. "How do you carry such calm in your interactions with each other?" wrote one long-time listener. To begin, peace doesn't come without a fight. In a world of instant gratification, we too easily settle for moments of peace; but anything that doesn't last is counterfeit. In this episode, we talk about practical ways you can war for and cultivate peace in your home. We talk about:

Why our bodies feel safer in chaos than peace
Prayer as a weapon for the war for peace
Why it's important to take dominion over what God has given you
Keeping short accounts of sin in our lives
Playing the long game in the day-to-day overwhelm

How Do We Practice Sabbath? Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

There are many misconceptions about what practicing the Sabbath, or ceasing from work, really entails. People often view Sabbath as a day for lounging around the house, binging a show on Netflix, or just doing nothing. Those things can be fine, but do they really bring about "soul rest?" In this episode, Josh and Christi go in-depth about the purpose and meaning of Sabbath, and the unique ways they have learned to cultivate it in their home. Josh and Christi talk about:

Shabbat dinner as a fun, family-centric rhythm for your weekly Sabbath
Why Sabbath rest is a gift from God and how you can make it work to fit your family dynamic
How to fight against the pull of Western culture away from the biblical gift of Sabbath
