Emotional Wellness with Miles Adcox Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Your story matters and deserves to be told. That's the heart and message of this episode with our friend, CEO of Onsite Workshops, Miles Adcox. An unexpected consequence of social isolation is how it's forcing many of us to look at some pain or grief, maybe within our marriage, or within ourselves, that we hadn't taken time to address. If you feel burdened, this episode will bless you.
In this episode, we all share our own therapeutic journeys and how we continue to find freedom by prioritizing our own unique stories. Miles does a great job of helping us see, at a deep level, what emotional wellness can look like and why it matters. No matter what you might be experiencing right now during social isolation, this conversation will fill your heart and mind with grace and compassion.

How to Talk to Your Kids About COVID-19 Apr 01, 2020

Show notes

In part 4 of the Famous at Home series during social isolation, we talk about how to talk to your kids about coronavirus. Kids, too, have had their schedules and routines interrupted. But, unlike many adults, kids don't always know how to communicate fear, sadness, or confusion. Making it more difficult is that a child's feelings will often come out through behavior--either behavior we don't pick up on, or behavior we don't like. So not only do we punish the behavior, we punish the negative emotion too.
In this episode, we provide practical ways we can talk to our kids about coronavirus without making these mistakes. We also talk about what our kids need most during this time, how we can settle their hearts, and how we can make the most of the time we get together as families.

Emotional Resilience in Social Isolation Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

Being famous at home requires that we remain emotionally engaged with our loved ones. But suddenly finding yourself isolated from others in a very uncertain time can create panic, fear, and stress that emotionally distances you from those you love.
In part 1 of the Famous at Home series during social isolation, we talk about emotional resilience. Put another way, resilience is our ability to "bounce back" when we feel panicked, depressed, stressed, or emotionally disengaged. The practical strategies we discuss are designed to build your emotional immune system, so you can "bounce back," and be famous at home for those you love.

The Primal Path for Fathers and Sons with Jon Tyson Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

If you want to be a dad who is famous at home with his son, this is a must listen. Pastor Jon Tyson joins us to talk about the path he created to raise his now 19-year-old son. He turned the path itself into a course that every dad can use to lead his son into a life of purpose. As Jon looked at the landscape of today's boys, he saw the need for boys to be guided by a community of men, on a recognized path into adulthood, that matched the aches or longings boys have in their heart. He calls it The Primal Path.
With so many incredible one-liners to count, here are some highlights of this episode:
* There is no constant, consistent, intentional pathway for boys to become men in American Christianity. Boys need a mentor or a father who can walk him through the process. * The primal path is a way to help overwhelmed but determined dads raise sons of consequence.* There's no way you can underestimate the joy of getting it right and overestimate the pain of getting it wrong when it comes to raising your son.* It's not about getting it perfect, but getting it right. * Don't shrink back out of insecurity or lack. Your son doesn't know what you don't know. Engage the path and process. * Build a relationship with your son where he brings you his sin.

148. The Elephant in Your Marriage Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

Do you have an annoyance in your marriage that seems to rear its ugly head every now and again? That one issue that seems to block you and your spouse from being on the same team. In-laws. Finances. How you parent your kids. Where you spend the holidays.
We all seem to have that one elephant. You know it's there, but most of the time it's hibernating in the cold, dark, corner of the basement, out of sight. Yet, every now and again, you feel the elephant coming up the stairs. Your reaction might be to pretend he's not coming. Or it might be that you see him walk into your living room so you obviously have to talk about him. So you do. You argue about him. You try to find a way to get him back into your basement, out of sight, but you can't agree on how to do that.
In this episode, we talk about our own elephant. We also give practical ways to finally address that one issue in your marriage and why talking about it actually takes away its power. For the sake of your marital intimacy, talk about the elephant.
