Hey friends - we are currently doing a series on marriage and today, we're talking about Expectations vs. Desires. If you get this right in your marriage, it will change everything. We've worked on this for years, and want to share why it works so well!
Friends, we are kicking off a series on marriage and today, we're talking about the word "submission." And we know that this word has been overused and abused. Not today. We're talking about what BIBLICAL SUBMISSION looks like, and I promise, it won't be what you think!
Come along as we talk about the importance of beginnings and endings - because maybe you are right there with us - in a place where you're about to embark upon something new or in a place where you're leaving something of comfort behind....let's go together with confidence!
Join as we take a look back on one of the hardest years of our lives together AND what we're looking forward to in 2025!
I (Emily) have an incredible guest on the show with me today talking about RHYTHMS! I call him an expert.....
Please join us for this (more intimate) conversation about the Holy Spirit - we're all learning together!
We talk about our love for Cooper, and as always, a lot of other things......take this one to the end if you wanna hear us fighting....
Listen in on the story of bringing this miracle baby into the world! We go there, people!! Come with us.
We love talking about marriage! And on today's podcast, we are talking about 4 phrases that we have adapted into our daily marriage lives that have truly transformed how we love one another and FEEL LOVED by the other! ENJOY!
Alright, we are FINALLY getting around to discussing what our word (or phrase) for the year 2024 is. We are back at it with the poking fun and humor and laughter; PLUS - a special note of thanks at the end!
Happy Easter from all of us at The 143 Podcast! This is a special day + a special podcast 'cause you get to hear from our son, Maddox, who wrote and recorded this all on his own! Grateful for you, son!
This is my note of gratitude to YOU on my 40th birthday! In this spoken letter, I address my church, my coaches + mentors, my co-workers, my athlete teammates, my musician teammates, my friends, my in-laws, my siblings, my grandparents, my parents, my darling children, and my dearest husband.
All of you have shaped me in ways I could never repay. This letter is my small attempt!
Also, if you've never heard me cry.........this episode's for you!
- Emily

We'd love for you to join us in the journey! Today, we talk about the book + how you can get it. AND, of course, get very off topic with other things.....

We have a BIG SURPRISE to share.....I mean, BIG. The BIGGEST SURPRISE....EVER!!!!!!

It's HOLY WEEK!!! Palm Sunday. Let's celebrate.
Our weekends will be filled with songs. But, sometimes melodies become so familiar to us that we lose sight of the words we're actually singing. So, we're gonna read them. Together.

Join us as we share our individual word for 2023. No more resolutions...they don't stick. We're going with a word!
We're gonna try something different on the podcast for this season we call Advent. Follow along on these daily devotions that take us all the way through Christmas!
Winter means different things to different people. depending where you live. But in Minnesota? Winter is a THING thing. In this episode, we address the ways John has learned to 143 winter as a non-native Minnesotan. And he's actually grown to like it. Sort of.
143 Christmas before Thanksgiving? Yes, that's right. We get right after it with Christmas, and we're not ashamed. Let us know your favorite Christmas traditions, and whether your tree goes up before Thanksgiving (or not).
Scout Scouty Scouterson Alexander. Maybe the most 143 we've ever had for a dog. If you have a pet you love, we think you'll appreciate this conversation about Scout.
Is there anyone who 143s interior design (on a dime) more than Emily? Is there anyone who 143s that his spouse interior designs (on a dime) more than John? Join us as talk about our love and as Emily shares some hot tips to design your space!
Don't worry. We're not sponsored (but hey Costco, if you want to talk...). Truth is, John 143s Costco more than is normal. In this episode, we talk about all the reasons why we both love Costco (and struggle with it at times).
We brought in the leading expert in 2022 on all things junk food and candy, our daughter, Marley! I don't know of a single person who 143s junk food and candy like her. Listen in as we discuss it all, and share with us your favorites that we're missing out on!
We 143 the heck out of coffee. Listen as we passionately discuss our journey with all of it. And maybe feel a little guilt if you don't choose to drink GREAT coffee.
Jesus: People either love him, like him, ignore him, or hate him. We happen to love him and we break down why in this first episode talking about Jesus (cause they'll definitely be more).
We love marriage so much, we decided to record a part 2! Join us for this 143 conversation on three more reasons why we love marriage and why you should too!
We love leadership. Yes, of course, the good. But also the not-so-good. Why? Because leadership is hard. But great leadership is unlike most anything else, which is why we get passionate about this topic. Join us as we unpack the 143 behind leadership.
We love the enneagram so much, that we decided to dive a little deeper into one of most transformative tools we've found for our marriage, life, and personal growth. And we might talk about the things we don't like about the other person as well.
We've already told you we love TV, but now we're going to talk about our all-time favorite TV show, The Office. Plus, we play a little trivia at the end. Join us in our deep, deep 143 of The Office. And maybe go watch the Dinner Party episode after we're done.
We're pretty open about our deep 143 for youth sports. Listen in as we unpack all the reasons we love youth sports -- playing, coaching, and watching our own kids play. Best of all, we welcome our FIRST special guest who shares his insights as well.
What do we mean by fitness? All the things: Exercise plans, eating plans, gym memberships. You name it; we've tried it. While we *mostly* love fitness, we haven't always. Join us for a conversation why we TRY to 143 fitness to the best of our abilities.
Do you have a pet? If so, you're gonna love this episode. If you don't? Well that's the point! Learn to 143 the things we love. We'll discuss our history with pets, our love for our current dog, and reasons why you should too. Join us!
Now, here's a hot button word. Church. We love the capital C Church deeply. But we realize, not everyone does. And maybe at times, for good reason. Join us as we discuss our love for THE Church... and maybe why you should (re)consider your love for it as well.
Are people even allowed to love TV? Or at least, admit their love for TV? In this episode, we'll break down why we've grown to love TV... and maybe why you should too.
Do you celebrate half-birthdays? One of us does. Even if you don't, learn to love birthdays like us. Packed full of memories, meaning, and fun, we breakdown why birthdays are worth all your 143.
Does anyone in the entire world love thrift store shopping more than Emily? Hard to say. But here's what's true: She's really good at it. We love a great deal, and there's very few who are better at finding thrifty deals more than Emily. Join us as we unpack all the ways to 143 a thrifty find.
I mean, who doesn't love vacations? Well, maybe not everyone, at least as much as we do. We've prioritized vacations because of how much we love them. And how much value they add to our lives. There are all kinds of ways to vacation, so listen in as we provide some tips to love them like we do!
Ennea...what? Maybe you've heard about it or maybe you haven't, but we love the Enneagram. Understanding it has benefited our lives (and marriage) in countless ways. Take a listen as Emily does her best to break down the importance of the Enneagram and why you should love it as well.
Most everyone makes it a goal to read, but do you follow through? Do you read? Do you love reading books? Or do you love buying old books and putting them on bookshelves for decorations (*cough* Emily *cough*)? John loves reading books - always has - and Emily has grown to love it as well. Needless to say, we both 143 books.
When it comes to food, It seems everyone only talks about restrictions and diets. But no one loves food like Emily. Take a listen as she unpacks her love of food and why maybe you should love it more than you do.
Since August 16, 2008 we've been working hard at marriage. It's not easy, we've been stretched and challenged, but with time, effort, hard work, and a lot of prayer, it's by far one of the most rewarding things in this life. We love marriage... and for those who are in one, hope you do as well.
I love you. 1...4...3. How's love going for you? John & Emily, parents, leaders, and pastors, talk about things that they love - like God, people (including each other), sports, food, and everything in between.
Listen in on the first conversation where they lay out the vision and introduce the future of the 143 podcast.
