Famous at Home

Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:

Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us?
Why do we assume the worst about him / her?
What causes us to get so defensive?
Why do we get so offensive in our reactions?
Are the offenses we carry worth it?
 
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.”
 
But what’s more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.”

In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse’s shoulder.”
 
With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together.

Epigenetics is real. In other words, there’s a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them.
 
In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts. Having written multiple books on anxiety, Pastor Lucado has a new 90-day devotional called Calm Thoughts for Kids, and joins the show to talk about what he’s seeing as a grandparent and how parents today can help their kids with their anxious days.

What is the love language that matters most?!
 
That’s the focus of this week’s episode, as our friend, Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, joins us to talk about his new book by the same name, The Love Language That Matters Most.
 
In this episode, Dr. Chapman drops some serious one-liners to teach us how to practically identify and love our spouse in their own dialect. Sound intriguing to you? The insights are profound.
 
Here are some of the gold nuggets Dr. Chapman shares:
Why our agenda takes precedence over our values
How to know what your spouse needs to really feel loved
Why the misbehavior of both children AND adults grows out of an empty love tank
How to be a great listener
The three ways to help your children feel loved
And the most sobering question Dr. Chapman asked of himself while raising his kids 
As he stated, “The question is not, ‘Do you love your children.’ The question is, ‘Do your children feel loved?’”

Welcome to a brand new season called Loving Well!

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about bringing order to all of the things in your home and life that might feel disordered. Why order? Because love gets smothered where chaos reigns. When we're in survival, we have a limited ability to look outward and love well. 

Josh and Christi share what we need to love well, talk about being victims of parenthood, and discuss very practical ways to move from "survival mode" to order and love.
