Let’s be honest, parenting is the most guilt-ridden, shaming role on the planet. Which is why a nagging question seems to live under the surface of our very full lives, “Am I doing a good job with my kids?”
In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about what really matters when it comes to getting the outcomes we most desire in our kids. They also define emotional safety, talk about why parenting is the wrong term, and get honest about what our kids really need from us.

"What's going on within your spouse's heart matters more than what's going on between the two of you." The gateway to finding your way home to your spouse is through his / her heart.
But that can be easier said than done with there's already so much hurt built up through the years. In this episode, Josh and Christi lay out practical ways to fight for your spouse's heart while also prioritizing the healing of your own.

Do you feel stuck in your marriage? Do you wish you could sometimes show up differently in how you parent your children? Do you desire a slower pace of life for your family?
We all run into problems in our closest relationships, especially with those we love the most. But what if the problems we face are intensified, or perhaps even created, because of our own internal insecurities or lack of feeling loved?
In episode 4 of season 1, Finding Your Way Home, we talk about the foundational solution to many of our relational concerns: Finding your way home to the Father's love. Unfortunately, like any other relationship, this takes time and practice, especially if we already don't feel lovable.
In this episode, we discuss how we and our relationships change when we feel “delighted in,” we share our own stories of experiencing the Father’s love, and we offer insights on how we can move from intellectually understanding the Father’s love for us, to genuinely experiencing it.
Time Stamps:
1:02 Introduction: The definition of joy
3:08 Why we start with the Father’s love
3:37 Relational problems in light of the matrix we find ourselves in
5:45 The relational experience of love, particularly from the Father
9:30 How life looks when we know someone is delighted to be with us
11:01 The effects of not being delighted with yourself
13:38 How we love others is an overflow of how we feel loved
15:38 Right brain versus left brain experiences of love
19:19 The journey to “experiencing” the Father’s love
25:22 When the Father doesn’t feel safe to come home to
26:50 Why the thing that gives us the most life is often the thing we most resist
28:38 The way the Father speaks to each of His kids
30:03 How the Father sees and chooses us
33:36 The feeling of “home” and Christi’s 30-day challenge for you

Finding our way home is easier when we stop chasing the things leading us away from it. Which leads to a question you must answer if you want to be famous at home, "What is my 'chase' costing me?"

The Famous at Home podcast has a new beginning! Though we have over 400 previous episodes out in the world, this is the start of a new vision for Famous at Home, what we call “red carpet to revival.”
Welcome to Season 1!
Each new season will consist of seven episodes and be built around specific topics to help bring revival to your family. Season 1 is called “Find Your Way Home,” where we talk about the meaning behind this new phrase and why it sets the foundation for the emotional connection and spiritual growth you desire in your own home.
In today’s episode, we talk about the reckoning that happened in our marriage and why nearly quitting Famous at Home was toiling the soil for the dead seeds to give birth to life all over again. As we talk about moving from “red carpet to revival,” our hope is that you see how it applies to your family in this cultural moment you find yourself in.

Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.
There are many misconceptions about what practicing the Sabbath, or ceasing from work, really entails. People often view Sabbath as a day for lounging around the house, binging a show on Netflix, or just doing nothing. Those things can be fine, but do they really bring about "soul rest?"
In this episode, Josh and Christi go in-depth about the purpose and meaning of Sabbath, and the unique ways they have learned to cultivate it in their home.
Josh and Christi talk about:
Shabbat dinner as a fun, family-centric rhythm for your weekly SabbathWhy Sabbath rest is a gift from God and how you can make it work to fit your family dynamicHow to fight against the pull of Western culture away from the biblical gift of SabbathThis series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below).

We talk about:
Why our bodies feel safer in chaos than peaceSpecific ways to consecrate your home and use prayer as your greatest weapon in the war for peaceHow to take dominion over what God has given youKeeping short accounts of sin in our livesPlaying the long game when seeing the day-to-day overwhelmThis series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below).

Have you ever given thought to how your "household" is being defined? Or put another way, how often do you consider the direction your family is heading? Or the connectedness you feel with each other? What if our struggles as a family and the longings we have are tied to the post Industrial Revolution individualistic culture we find ourselves immersed in? Could there be a different way?
In this episode, we talk about the meaning of the word "household" and how it applies to your family.
We talk about:
Why it's important to be curious, not intimidated by the dissonance we feel.How to let go of "the chase" and refocus on prioritizing your family cohesion.How to discover and step into your family's uniqueness.Why it's beneficial train your kids to be creators, not consumers.Show Notes:

Would you describe your spouse as your greatest teammate? It probably depends on the day, right? We all have opponents that war against the connection in our marriage and cause conflict. But how do we fight? Do we see the opponent for what it is, or do we make our spouse out to be the opponent?
In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about how to name the opponent, talk about your dance, and take responsibility for how to engage with your spouse.
They talk about:
The importance of finding out what's going on in your spouse's heart rather than what's going on between the two of youProtective mechanisms and how they hold us back from communicating the truth of what we want from our spouseWhy taking 100% responsibility for your role in the conflict disarms your spousePractical ways to show up differently for your spouse

Welcome to episode 1 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating an Emotionally Healthy Marriage.
Have you and your spouse ever looked at each other and wondered, "Who did we marry?" Lewis Smedes once said, "My wife has lived with at least five different men since we were wed—and each of the five has been me." It's amazing how much we change: sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better.
In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the various "seasons" we go through as individuals and how those "seasons" influence our marriage. They also talk about practical ways to enter into your spouse's world in the good, bad, and ugly.
They talk about:
How to prioritize what's going on within your spouse's heart more than what's going on between the two of youWays to empathetically step into your spouse's worldPractical ways to dream with your spouse and offer affirmation We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.

Welcome to episode 5 of 5 in our first Summer Series called, On Becoming Great Parents. We hope you download the pdf files that go along with these episodes (found in show notes below) and use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.
As a parent, what are we truly aiming for? What really is the goal of all this stuff we put into a bucket called “parenting?” And, at a deeper level, have I thought about how my own spiritual journey influences how my children live out their faith and find purpose for how they live their lives? Does this matter to me as I think about how I’m engaging the task of “parenting?”
In this episode, Josh talks about what he's learning from his own spiritual journey right now and proposes a developmental spiritual growth model for fathers and mothers that moves us from a journey of being self-focused (fear) to others-focused (joy).
They are:
Becoming (internal healing and growth).
Present (external presence where others feel seen).
In community (inviting others into our journey).
