Attn Parents: Jon Acuff on How to Encourage Your Teens to Pursue Goals! Sep 25, 2024

Show notes

A little over a year ago, I bought the book All It Takes Is a Goal by Jon Acuff and haven't been the same since. Life altering for me (and I don't say this lightly!)

What about the goals your teenager might have? Is there a way to help them pursue their goals? This is what Jon & I discuss on today's episode.

I invited my teenage son, Hudson, to join me for this conversation. And it was a PRICELESS masterclass for both Hudson and me, as Hudson's dad, to hear. If you have a son or daughter, it'll be helpful for you too.

Jon talks about specific things you can do to help your teen pursue a goal and also shares some specific things NOT to do.

Even though this conversation is geared towards teens, adults (with or without) can apply Jon's positive and practical tips to their lives and goals! Check out my first episode with Jon here: https://link.chtbl.com/2IElh1iy

Politics & Faith with former Obama Staffer Michael Wear - Part 2 Sep 04, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to part 2 of our 4-part Politics & Faith series on how to approach this election season without losing your mind (or your soul)! Just as a reminder, throughout this series, you'll hear from different voices across the political spectrum. Today's episode features former staff member for President Obama, Michael Wear. During his time working in the White House, Wear directed faith outreach for President Obama's historic 2012 re-election campaign and was one of the youngest White House staffers in modern American history, leading evangelical outreach and helping manage the White House's engagement on religious and values issues, including adoption and anti-human trafficking efforts. Michael is a leading thinker at the intersection of politics and faith. His Christian approach to politics can be boiled down to this: politics is a forum for loving your neighbor. As a part of this foundational belief, Michael says the kind of person you are in politics is just the kind of person you are… and if that truth hurts, it may be time to reevaluate the way you behave (especially if you are a Jesus follower)! We hope this series provides helpful wisdom and tools for navigating the upcoming election season with grace and hope!

Carlos Whittaker: 7 Weeks Without a Screen Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

On today's episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with my good friend, Carlos Whittaker. Carlos is many things (pastor, speaker, author), but you might best know him through his Instagram @loswhit. Well, Carlos recently conducted a 7-week experiment where he didn't look at a single screen. Think about that. Literally no screen (while traveling through airports, the tv in his home, maps on his phone… none of it!). Instead, he spent time with Benedictine monks and Amish farmers, learning the art of reconnecting with life beyond his screens. Listen in as Carlos shares the valuable things he learned and gives us super practical steps we can take to reset our relationship with screens and step into a life of real connection with one another.
