Episode 128: Suffering, Hope & Parenting with Dr. Curt Thompson Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

You likely know Dr. Curt Thompson from his ground-breaking work in The Anatomy of the Soul, The Soul of Shame and The Soul of Desire. We were honored to sit down in conversation with him to talk about his newest book, The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope.

We shared a rich conversation around what suffering and hope look like in the context of parenting. Dr. Thompson has worked at the intersection of neuroscience and Christian spiritual growth for decades. He was kind enough to share parts of his own story, and what he has learned through the journey of parenting himself. Enjoy this conversation with Dr. Curt Thompson.

Episode 125: Trusting God Completely in Parenting with Lisa Whittle Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

Lisa Whittle is one of those people you meet and immediately feel like you’ve known each other forever! We loved getting to sit down with our old/new friend Lisa recently to talk life and parenting and Jesus being everything, as she does so beautifully in all the many places she serves. Lisa is a bestselling author, podcaster of three different podcasts, Bible teacher, ministry leader and mom to 3. And she must have more hours in a day than the rest of us cause we can’t even imagine how she does it ALL—and does it so beautifully, while offering great hope to all of us!

Episode 122: The Power of Blessing Children with Lauren and Chris Tomlin Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

We had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with two remarkable folks who are also intentional parents. Lauren & Chris Tomlin were kind enough to join us in a conversation where they shared their stories of growing up, how they met, becoming parents, and the places God has called them. Chris has sold over 7 million records, won 23 Dove Awards and a Grammy. We loved spending time with these two folks and their willingness to step into such a thoughtful conversation as part of our Music City Series.

Episode 119: Parenting with Vulnerability with Jon and Amy McLaughlin Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

This week we have one of our favorite hosts from Dadville, Jon McLaughlin, joining us. You’ve heard Jon’s music from his amazing records, songs on some of your favorite TV shows and films, or maybe you know him from the film Enchanted and saw him perform on the Academy Awards (we had him tell that story!)

But hold your horses, we didn’t just snag Jon, we somehow persuaded his delightful, insightful, lovely wife Amy to join us. We found ourselves in the middle of an honest, authentic conversation about the ups and downs, good and hard, hopeful and heart-breaking moments of parenting with these two friends.
