Famous at Home

When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system? 

In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices. 

Here are some highlights: 
Anything you can't fast from owns you.
Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.
Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.
Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)
Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.
Use screens to create, not just consume.
God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.

What if you could have a rock-solid marriage in just 15 minutes a day? This is not a gimmick. 

Emotional disconnection rarely happens all at once. It happens through small, subtle shifts as work, kids, schedules, and the demands of life slowly pull us away from each other.

In this episode, Dr. Josh shares the fundamental exercise he's seen help marriages grow by leaps and bounds. It's a simple daily practice he calls the 15-Minute Exercise.

You’ll learn:
The simple daily question every couple can ask each other
Why your spouse is a person to love, not a problem to solve
The three most powerful words to transform a difficult conversation
How to listen without fixing, defending, or becoming defensive
How this simple practice can become a lifestyle rather than another item on your to-do list
Your marriage doesn’t always need a major overhaul. Sometimes it needs a two-degree shift.

What if becoming a healthier leader at home doesn’t require a major overhaul, but simply a two-degree shift?
 
High-capacity leaders know how to solve problems, make decisions, and get things done. But the skills that make you effective at work don’t always translate at home. That’s because your greatest strengths, like your drive, capacity, and ability to fix things, can keep you from slowing down, listening, and connecting with the biggest fans under your roof.
 
In this episode, Dr. Josh explores how small relational shifts can change the way you lead in your marriage and family. He also provides small, practical, two-degree shifts that can change the trajectory of your family and the atmosphere of your home. You don’t need a 90-degree turn. You just need two degrees.
