If you’ve been married longer than a second, you know that couples fight over dumb things. Every single couple fights, and while some issues are legit, we’re highlighting the lighter side of the things we go to battle over and for. We all have them, so let’s laugh a little about them, huh? Today we are kicking off a new segment called Dumb Couple Fights that will hopefully make you chuckle or at l...

We all lead someone in our lifetime, and we will all be led in our lifetime, which is why it's such an important topic. In this 2 part series, we are exploring the keys to great leadership. Part 1 we talked about who is a leader, what is a leader, and why we lead. Today, in part 2, we’re going to discuss the characteristics of a great leader. So let's dive in!

Recently there has been a lot of conversation and hoopla about leadership and who should be in leadership, especially within the Christian community. While I’m sure the debate will continue long beyond our time, there is 1 thing that cannot be debated, and that is the need for quality leadership. We all lead someone in our lifetime, and some lead many. So, we are going to spend the next 2 episodes...

Everywhere we go, I feel like we’re told we have to find the right “balance” in life. Like there’s a magic formula to being and doing it all. But there is no magic formula to have this perfectly balanced life. In this episode we’re exploring the alternative to a balanced life and how to find peace in the chaos of life’s demands.

In Episode 10, we talked about how pain and struggle are an inevitable part of life. We can’t avoid it, but we can use it to grow and develop in such powerful ways. We are victors, not victims. One facet of growth from our pain and heartache is our ability to connect, understand, and empathize with others. In today’s podcast, I want to dive deeper into how we can help the hurting.

Most of our lives, we work to avoid pain and heartache in life. Who wants to experience pain, loss, trauma? No one. Yet, as a marriage and family therapist, I see that it is an inevitable part of life that simply cannot be avoided. So now what? I would challenge each of us to shift our focus from how to avoid pain to how to handle it. That’s what we will be discussing in today’s podcast – Purpose...

Is life happening to you, or are you making life happen? There are opportunities around us everywhere to live a life of purpose that changes lives and impacts our world. Oftentimes we look for the grand moments, but it’s in the simple, the small, the seemingly insignificant interactions and moments that we can change the climate of our world and be the salt and light that Christ calls us to ( Matt...

We were created for connection. From the time God created Adam, we see that God knew we needed connection when he stated that it’s not good for man to be alone, so God made a helper suitable for him, a woman.
