10/10: Living A Full Life with Mike and Velden

Are we raising children who are protected or prepared? 🤔 In our desire to give our kids a better childhood than we had, have we accidentally made them less ready for the real world? Should children be shielded from failure… or allowed to struggle?  Is gentle parenting enough?  Are participation trophies helping or hurting?  How do we raise kids who are both emotionally healthy and spiritually res...

Mental health is real. The struggles are real. And the need for compassion is real. 👌 But here’s the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: Have we become so afraid of offending people that we’ve stopped talking about personal responsibility? 🤔 When does mental health become a legit limitation? And when does it become a convenient explanation for behavior that should still be addressed? Thi...

When does masculinity cross the line into toxicity? 🤔 How do we stay grounded in God’s design for manhood without losing strength, conviction, and courage? 🧐 These are the raw, honest questions Velden and Mike wrestle with in our latest podcast episode: “Be The Man: Asserting Masculinity Without The Toxicity.” This isn’t surface-level talk. It’s a real conversation about strength, leadership, id...

“If he doesn’t have money, he’s not worth dating.” “Level up or get left behind.” “Men should provide.” At the same time? Men are told they’re too toxic, too soft, too much, not enough. So where does that leave them? Confused. Pressured. Stuck. Wanting to step up but unsure what they’re even stepping into. In this episode, Mike and Velden unpack the tension shaping modern manhood from social media...

Most of us go through Lent thinking it’s about giving something up. So we fast. We sacrifice. We try to be “better.” But actually, there's so much more to Lent than just removing something from our life.  It was actually meant to return us to Someone. We can give up coffee, sweets, or scrolling… and still miss the point. So maybe it’s time to ask: 👉 Is my act of decrease increasing my connect...

Lenten episode coming your way. 🙏 With Fr. Joel Jason, we unpack Theology of the Body, sexuality, and the truth that giving yourself isn’t just poetic. It’s profoundly sexual.  Your body speaks.  Your vocation speaks.  The way you love speaks. Lent isn’t just about giving things up. It’s about learning how to give yourself fully.  If you’ve ever wrestled with desire, calling, relationships, or wh...

Two weeks ago, we started an honest conversation that got couples talking: HOW TO LOVE YOUR MAN. Now, we complete the Valentine series with HOW TO LOVE YOUR WOMAN. ❤️ Most of the time, husbands have the best intentions. They provide. They stay faithful. They do their best to support.  But a big part of marriage is understanding how your wife actually receives your love.  In this episode, we unpack...

Ever feel like you’re loving him the best way you know how… but somehow it’s still not landing? Like you’re showing up, giving your heart, trying your hardest, and yet there’s distance between you two that you just can’t explain. Maybe it’s not that love isn’t there. Maybe you’ve just been speaking different languages all along. How to Love Your Man — our Valentine special is finally here! 🥳 Join...

Juicy topic ahead: REVISITING DEAD DREAMS Join Mike and Velden as they unpack the difference between dreams that were meant to end and dreams that were simply paused. Are these dreams truly dead or just waiting for a different season? This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between acceptance and hope, wisdom and longing. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late, whether you missed your wi...

Was 2025 a tough year for you? How are you holding up as we close this year? We have high hopes whenever we start the year. But while we always want a nice and shiny start, sometimes, we are dealt with cards that say otherwise.  How do we move forward with hope? How do we bounce back? Are there blessings beneath the burden?  Join Mike and Velden as they unearth top blessings and lessons they learn...

While envy/jealousy can sometimes expose the deeper desires of our hearts, and push us to step towards them--we also need to admit this, envy doesn’t come alone. It brings a whole can of worms with it. Let’s be honest, when envy starts creeping in, we feel small, ashamed, and miserable. So what do we do when it shows up uninvited and louder than we expected? Part 2 of When Everybody’s Blessed But...

You look around, and it seems like everyone in your circle is living a full life. And here you are—your dreams remain just dreams, your hopes are still prayers, and no goal seems to take shape. We say, “sana all,” and all we do is keep burying our own dreams while waiting for them to come true. But how do we live a full life when envy starts creeping in? Can envy ever bring anything good? In this...

Showing up is great… but it’s NOT the finish line. This world tells us that presence equals success—because yes, showing up gets us in the room—but what happens after that?  In this episode, Mike and Velden unpack how living a full life means moving past ‘just showing up’ and stepping into a life of intentional excellence. 📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦instagram.com/veldenlim⁩ ⁦facebook.com/limvelden...

If you would rate your life, what would it be? 🧐 In this broken and imperfect world that demands so much from us, how do we pursue a good, full, abundant life?  In the Bible, Jesus says that He came that we may have a full life. But why is there so much lack, emptiness, brokenness around us? How then do we live this "full life" God truly intended for us?  📲 Let’s stay connected:  ⁦inst...

Do you ever feel like God’s calling you to something way beyond your capacity? 😬 TBH, we felt the same. We didn’t feel ready—or worthy—to be doing this. But here we are, walking in His grace anyway. In this episode of 10/10: Living a Full Life, we’ll talk about how to move forward even when you feel unqualified—how God equips those He calls, and how obedience is ultimately for our good.  📲 Let’s...

What does it take to live a life following God’s calling? With all the responsibilities, adulting stuff, and dreams—how do we stay faithful? In this episode of 10/10: Living a Full Life, we’ll give you a sneak peek of what it means to be a Feast Builder, a servant of God, a businessman, and a father.
