Is your marriage thriving, or are you just coexisting? Marriage isn't just about sharing a home, managing finances, or raising kids—it's about growing together as true life partners.

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to let family time slip through the cracks.

We'll also explore how small, consistent actions can create stronger relationships at home, and how to lead your family spiritually through prayer, Scripture, and shared traditions.

Whether it's a family dinner, a walk around the block, or simply turning off distractions to be present, it's time to make family a priority again.

Welcome back to Beyond the Rut, the podcast about helping married Christian men create a life worth living in your faith, family, and career. I'm your host, Jerry Dugan, and author of the book titled, Beyond the Rut: Create a Life Worth Living in Your Faith, Family, and Career. Join me as we dive into Week 2 of the Beyond the Rut Journey with a focus on Faith Beyond Sunday. Grab a notebook and a pen and let's get started! For so many of us, faith gets boxed into Sunday mornings—worship, sermons, and community prayer. But what happens when the week starts, and you're back at work, managing deadlines, dealing with coworkers, or trying to balance the demands of family life? In this episode, we're diving into what it means to take your faith beyond Sunday and live it out in every area of your life. Because here's the truth: God's plan for your faith doesn't end when you leave the church parking lot. It's meant to shape your decisions, relationships, and even how you handle challenges in your career.

This episode tackles a fundamental question: What does success truly mean? It will challenge you to re-evaluate your current definitions of success, often shaped by worldly standards like wealth, status, and possessions, and to consider a God-centered perspective.   The world's definition of success often leads to emptiness, even when external achievements are attained. It emphasizes that a high salary or a picture-perfect social media presence doesn't guarantee fulfillment. Instead, we will point toward aligning our paths with God, guiding our steps. True success is not about individual achievements but rather about aligning our lives with God's will.   This episode will cover the following: Redefine success on God's terms. Know how to understand your God-given purpose-driven life. Action steps to redefine success and journal prompts for the week. If you want to embrace a countercultural, often uncomfortable, yet ultimately rewarding journey of redefining success on God's terms, leading to deeper peace, joy, and purpose, then check out this episode and start your journey to create a life worth living in your faith, family, and career.

Have you ever felt like life is just one endless treadmill? You're running hard, keeping up with the demands of work, family, and faith—but no matter how fast you go, you still feel stuck. You're successful by the world's standards—a steady job, a comfortable home, maybe even a promotion here or there—but deep down, you wonder, Is this really it?   If you've ever felt like you're missing out on something bigger, this episode is for you.   In this very first episode of our 26-week journey, we'll lay the foundation for breaking free from the rut and stepping into a life worth living—a life defined not by the world's expectations, but by God's purpose for you. You'll learn why success is so much more than the size of your paycheck or the title on your business card. It's about alignment—bringing your faith, family, and career together in harmony.   But how do you even begin to redefine success, especially when you're not sure what God's plan is for your life? That's what we're unpacking today. I'll share practical steps to help you start thinking about what truly matters, plus an action step you can take right away to set the stage for transformation.   So grab a journal, take a deep breath, and get ready. It's time to stop running in circles and start moving forward—toward a life that reflects God's vision for you. Press play now and let's begin this journey together.

In this inspiring episode, we delve into the lives of two military wives who have masterfully navigated the challenges of building a top-tier real estate team in the United States. Their journey is a testament to the power of choosing multiple streams of income that prioritize time freedom and flexibility, allowing them to balance their professional ambitions with personal commitments.A key focus of their strategy involves setting clear non-negotiables each week, such as dedicated family time, strategic growth opportunities, and maintaining health. This disciplined approach ensures that they never lose sight of what's truly important in their lives, despite the demands of a bustling real estate career.The duo also emphasizes the importance of having a structured approach to their daily work. This structure is not restrictive; rather, it is the very foundation that grants them the flexibility they need to juggle various aspects of their lives effectively. They believe that this balance is crucial for sustained success and well-being.At the heart of their success story is a fundamental belief: true success in real estate comes not from relentlessly chasing transactions, but from building and nurturing relationships. They view each client interaction as an opportunity to connect on a deeper level, fostering trust and rapport that often extends beyond the realm of business. This relationship-first approach has not only fueled their business growth but has also brought a more fulfilling and balanced approach to their professional lives.Special Guests: Tiffany Klusacek and Ashlee JankovichGo to BeyondTheRut.com/capsho for your free 14-day trial and see for yourself.

It may even put significant risk on global healthcare according to the National Institute for Health.The episode offers practical advice on building trust, setting goals, providing feedback, and reinforcing positive behavior within the team dynamics.
