What does it look like to actually listen to what's going on within your spouse's heart? Especially when there's been unresolved hurt, misunderstanding, and even built up resentment in your marriage through the years?
Ryan and Courtney have walked through this pain. In this episode, they tell their story of how they learned to listen to one another, forgive one another, and make deliberate choices to begin serving one another. But that's just the beginning.
Little did they know why resolving the emotional brokenness in their marriage would matter so much, so quickly. As we continue our journey through the 7 Core Decisions of Becoming Famous at Home, this is a story of marital transformation you won't want to miss.

#126: Core Decision #3 — Listen to What's Happening Within Sep 25, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, we talk about the decision to listen to what's happening within the heart of our spouse. When life gets busy, our conversation at home becomes primarily content-based (i.e. information about the day, upcoming schedule, etc.).
Yet, it's the process-based conversation (i.e. how we feel about what's happening in our day) that keeps us growing as a couple and feeling connected to one another.
Sure, this is conversation that takes a little extra work, especially for those of us who weren't taught to communicate this way. That's because we go on autopilot to keep up with everything we're doing, that it gets too easy to neglect our being. But you, and your spouse, deserve deeper connection.
In this episode, we talk about some very practical strategies for being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. If you feel stuck in your marriage, even unsure what to talk about anymore, this episode is for you.

#123: A Story with Jerrad and Leila Lopes about Core Decision #1 Sep 04, 2019

Show notes

When things aren't going well at home, we feel it. The toll that the pace and added emotional pain of our day has on our marriages and most important relationships can feel overwhelming, and even unmanageable.
This week's episode is the beginning of the powerful, life-changing stories you'll hear as we journey through each of the decisions.
In this episode, we interview Jerrad and Leila Lopes about their rock bottom moment as a family, and the one decision each of them made to begin their ascent back to one another. Prepare yourself. These two were serious about their decisions!
Jerrad and Leila are proof that our circumstances do not need to remain unmanageable. As we like to say, you can't eat an elephant in a day. Leila's one decision, one-bite-at-a-time mentality, got the process started. Sometimes, all it takes is just one person.
Leila's one decision was the catalyst Jerrad needed to begin making his own decisions and move him from a place of deep brokenness, to a thriving ministry today.
Out of his brokenness he founded DadTired.com, a non-profit ministry focused on equipping men to lead their family well. He hosts the weekly Dad Tired Podcast, listened to by hundreds of thousands of men from around the world.
Jerrad and Leila live in Portland, Oregon with their three children. Their story will inspire you to name your one decision and get moving in a new direction!

Show notes

In this episode, we cast the vision for Famous at Home.
Up until this point, our podcast has been affectionately known as "In This Together." Like so many of you, we spent time in the trenches, having babies, chasing toddlers, and trying to find time in between to still pursue our spouse's heart. That's why we've been "in this together," trying to do all of these things well and inviting you along for the ride.
But as of today, we have a new vision. And in this episode, you'll hear all about the vision of Famous at Home! That's right, starting today, we'll now be the Famous at Home podcast with Dr. Josh and Christi. You'll still get both of us--our hearts, our stories, and our journey. And don't worry, your podcast feed, as well as all of the previous episodes, will remain the same.
But what's new is a fresh vision and clearer direction for what we do and how we serve families, just like yours!
So beginning next week, we start a whole new journey together! And we cannot wait for you to join us on it. Listen to this episode for the vision, follow Famous at Home on Instagram, and invite your friends to join us--in this together--becoming famous at home!

#119: [Best of Part 4] The Common Rule with Justin Whitmel Earley Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

Our "Best of" summer series concludes this week with one of our most downloaded episodes of this past season. We believe it speaks to where we are as a culture with the hustle we feel. This episode is about bringing freedom to your life through practical, easy-to-implement, daily habits.
The modern world is a machine of a thousand invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. The trouble is that our habits are almost invisible to us. In fact, habits form us more than we form them. So what can we do about it?
Welcome to The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose in an Age of Distraction. In this week's episode, we interview Justin Whitmel Earley, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who nearly crashed and burned in his own panicked lifestyle. As a husband and father to four young boys, Justin knew he needed help.
In what turned out to be a fateful moment of self-discovery, Justin's compelling story led him to create The Common Rule, four doable daily and four weekly habits designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor.
Looking for a doable routine for your family that leads to freedom and rest for your soul? This episode is for you.

We also talk about our own marital journey of late and how counseling has helped us work through the baggage, blindness, and busyness of the day. Yes, three "bee's" that can "sting" your marriage. Dad jokes rock.
Of course, the conversation includes practical ways we can connect at a deeper, more intimate level with our spouse.
