Do the ordinary tasks of my day actually matter to God?You're doing all of it — the meals, the laundry, the emails, the driving, the remembering. And somewhere in the middle of it a question surfaces. Does any of this actually matter? This episode is about what happens when we move through our lives productive but not present, and what abiding in the ordinary actually looks like.Through the story of Brother Lawrence and the theology of Andrew Murray's The True Vine, this episode reframes the mundane as the very place God is forming you. The laundry isn't the obstacle to your spiritual life. It is your spiritual life.In This Episode•Why productivity without presence leaves us spiritually exhausted•How Brother Lawrence practiced God's presence in unglamorous ordinary work•What Psalm 16 teaches us about security and presence in our assigned portion•How Murray reframes pruning as God's precision formation in everyday life•The three questions that help you abide in the ordinary instead of just endure itKey Takeaways•The ordinary moments of your day are not the obstacle to your spiritual life — they are your spiritual life•Abiding is a connection you maintain in the middle of the doing, not a feeling you chase•The laundry is the pruning — God is actively forming you in the mundane moments•The fruit grows while you remain connected to the vine — not when you finally finish the listSeries NoteEpisode three of the Simply Remain series, which began on episode 156.Keywords•Abiding in God in everyday life•Christian women and spiritual exhaustion•Finding God in the ordinary•Spiritual formation in daily routines•John 15 abiding and fruit•Andrew Murray The True VineIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

In this Bible Caddie Classic from Episode 63, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson sit down with Ted Scott, one of the greatest caddies in the history of PGA Tour golf. Teddy has caddied for Bubba Watson and Scottie Scheffler. He shares what it was like on the bag for two Masters wins, what Scottie Scheffler is really like, and how faith has carried him through the toughest seasons of his life on tour.Topics covered:- Teddy Scott, one of the greatest caddies in the history of PGA Tour golf- The story of how Teddy became a caddie with 102 fever, no yardage book, and no idea what a caddie master was- World foosball champion and the Dominus pickleball paddle company: the master came to serve- What Bubba Watson said two weeks after winning the Masters a second time: what's the point?- To whom much is given, much is required: how Teddy told Bubba to use his platform for God's glory- On the bag for Scottie Scheffler at the Masters: God is in control, whatever happens his will be done- Scottie Scheffler's secret sauce: distance control, hitting the center of the face, and crazy competitive- He told me he was not a very good ball striker. After week one I was like, buddy, are you sure?- I can't imagine going through life in any aspect without having some reason behind what's going on and some hope- Romans 8:28: and we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good for those who are called according to his purpose- God does some good to all people but he does all good to some people- To the Christian who is listening, there is never one second of your life where God is not always working for your good- The surfboard image: every single tool in my garage is abrasive, but in the end it is a beautiful work of art designed for a specific purpose- The story is not over. Just because this happened it does not mean this.- Mold grows in the dark. Get it out. Get the sunlight on it. Talk to someone. Go to the Word.- Had any condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.Follow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Send us Fan MailWhat does a 1982 fantasy movie filled with ferrets, bat-people, blue fire, and questionable leather wardrobe choices have to do with leaving teaching?Quite a lot, actually.In this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa uses The Beastmaster as a surprisingly useful map for teacher career transition.Dar begins the movie believing he is on a revenge mission. His home is gone. His identity has been shattered. The people in power have caused real harm, and he has every reason to be angry.That emotional starting point may feel familiar to teachers preparing to leave the classroom.The hero's greatest strength is the very thing others see as strange. That same pattern shows up for teachers, who often minimize skills like communication, adaptability, leadership, relationship-building, and crisis management because they were treated as “just part of the job.”This episode explores:• Why your “weird” strengths may be your most valuable transferable skills • How networking is really built through trust and reputation • Why leaving teaching can feel like losing part of your identity • The difference between escaping a harmful system and building a better future • Why you are not starting over. You are learning to name what you already know how to doYour transition does not have to stay focused on what education took from you.It can become a rescue mission for your health, confidence, voice, family, and future.LinksThe Beastmaster on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083630/Schedule a free Discovery Session: https://teachersintransition.com/calendarListen to Teachers in Transition: https://teachersintransition.buzzsprout.comQuestions or movie suggestions: Vanessa@TeachersinTransition.comOptional support for the podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/277608/supportSupport the Podcast!If you enjoy this scrappy little indie podcast, please consider:sharing the episode with a teacher friendleaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotifysupporting the show financially starting at just $3/month Support Teachers in Transition Connect with Vanessa Jackson
What does it mean to abide in God when your quiet time feels empty and your spiritual life feels flat?You've been showing up — reading your Bible, praying, doing all the things — and something still feels off. This episode is about what's actually happening when that occurs. Not what you're doing wrong. What's actually going on. We go deep into John 15 to unpack what Jesus actually meant when he said remain in me — why the fruit that grows from genuine abiding was never meant to just feed you, and what it looks like to stay when everything in you wants to fix the flatness or conclude that God is gone.Abiding is not a feeling you achieve. It's a posture you return to.In This Episode•Why doing all the right spiritual things can still leave you feeling completely disconnected•What John 15 actually says about dependence, pruning, joy, and friendship with God•Why reading God's word alone doesn't produce transformation — and what has to be added•How the fruit of abiding flows outward and feeds others not just yourself•Why hormonal shifts can affect your spiritual life in ways nobody warned you aboutKey Takeaways•Chase the feeling and you end up performing. Stay in the posture and the fruit takes care of itself•The Word has to abide in you — not just pass through you•Grace positions you in the vine. Faith keeps you there. The fruit grows as the overflow of both•The flatness in your quiet time might be the Father pruning — not evidence that something is wrong•The fruit you bear isn't yours. It's Christ's life flowing through a branch that stayed connectedSeries NoteEpisode two of the Simply Remain series.

Three weeks later, he was gone.

Are you exhausted from chasing outcomes that never quite deliver the peace you're after?Underneath every goal is a feeling — security, love, peace, worthiness. And that feeling is already available to you through abiding in Christ, not through achieving. In this episode Jill opens a new series called Simply Remain, anchored in John 15 and Andrew Murray's The True Vine. She names the works of the flesh we don't recognize because they look like diligence, introduces the idea of hard moments as portals into faith rather than detours around it, and shows what remaining actually looks like in a real moment of grief and loneliness.In This Episode•Why the fruit of the Spirit is not a to-do list•How to trace any outcome back to the feeling underneath it•The works of the flesh that look like virtue but quietly deplete you•What remaining in Christ looks like in a real hard moment•Why your hardest circumstances are doorways into abidingKey Takeaways•You're chasing the feeling underneath the outcome — and it's already available through abiding•The branch has one job: to stay•Striving and controlling are works of the flesh — they never deliver what they promise•Your hard moments are portals, not interruptionsSeries NoteEpisode 1 of the Simply Remain series, based on John 15 and Andrew Murray's The True Vine.Keywords•Abiding in Christ•John 15 vine and branches•Fruit of the Spirit•Christian podcast for women•Overcoming striving and perfectionism•Spiritual growth for womenIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

Losing a spouse doesn't just take your partner - it can take your identity, too. In this deeply honest post-interview chat, guest Priya opens up about what it really means to rebuild your life as a widowed mom: the loneliness of making every decision alone, the guilt of not being the same parent you used to be, and the quiet grief of watching your kids adjust to a version of you that's stretched between every role as mom, dad, caregiver, provider.Priya shares how her work and her children became her anchors when everything else felt uncertain, why surrounding yourself with positive people is non-negotiable after loss, and the moment her own daughter told her therapist that losing her mom's old self was harder than losing her dad. It's a raw look at self-doubt, resilience, and learning to trust yourself again when the person you used to lean on is gone.If you're a widow struggling with identity loss, solo parenting, or rebuilding confidence after the death of a spouse, this episode will remind you that you're not alone — and that you already know how to make the right decisions for your family.In this episode:Why losing a spouse means losing your built-in "sounding board"How grief changes your identity as a parentLearning to trust your own decisions againWhy your social circle often shifts after loss and why that's okay!What kids really feel when a widowed parent changesWhere are you on this widow journey?

How do I stop letting church hurt define me?You've probably spent a lot of time thinking about what happened. Who was wrong. What should have been done differently. And honestly, you're probably right about most of it. But here's the question that doesn't get asked enough: what is the experience forming in you? Not just what happened — but who are you becoming while you're processing it?In this final episode of the church hurt series, Jill walks through the story of Absalom from 2 Samuel 13 — a man who witnessed a serious injustice, watched it go unaddressed, and carried it in silence for two years. What happened next is one of the most sobering pictures in Scripture of what unprocessed pain can do in a person's life. Not because he was wrong about what happened. But because being right didn't protect him.This episode isn't about minimizing what was done to you or rushing to forgiveness before you're ready. It's about keeping your eyes on Jesus in the middle of it — doing what's yours to do, releasing what isn't, and trusting God with the rest.In This Episode•Why being right about what happened doesn't automatically protect you from what carrying it does to you over time•The story of Absalom, Tamar, and David from 2 Samuel 13 — and what it shows us about unprocessed pain•The difference between processing your hurt and just circulating it•Why stuffing it down doesn't work — and what to do instead•How to identify what's actually yours to do and how to surrender the rest to the Lord•Practical steps for moving forward without losing Jesus in the processKey Takeaways•Seeing something clearly doesn't make you free of it — freedom requires bringing it to the Lord•Silence is not neutral. What you carry without addressing will eventually move in a direction you didn't choose•There's a difference between processing pain and recycling it — and one leads somewhere, the other doesn't•You can do what's yours to do and trust God with the outcome, even when the outcome isn't what you wanted•The goal isn't to minimize what happened — it's to make sure your heart doesn't become the bigger problemSeries Note:This is episode 4 of a 4-part series on church hurt. You can start here or go back to the beginning — each episode stands on its own.Keywords:church hurt healing, Christian women faith, how to forgive church hurt, processing spiritual pain, church trauma recovery, emotional health faithIf you want to take this work and apply it, visit myhappyvault.com.

Have you ever left a church situation feeling like you couldn't quite shake it — even after time passed?In this episode, Jill sits down with a panel of three women who have all experienced some form of church hurt. But this conversation isn't about who was right or wrong. It's about what was happening inside them — the grief, the rejection, the slow shift from hurt to resentment — and what it actually took to process it without becoming someone they didn't want to be.These women are honest. One stayed at her church. One left. One was in leadership when everything fell apart. Their stories are different, but the inner work they each had to do looks more similar than you'd expect. If you've ever sat in a church pew watching someone through narrowed eyes, replaying a conversation you can't let go of, or felt like you left a church but carried it with you anyway — this episode is for you.In This Episode • What it looks like when hurt quietly shifts into seeing someone as an adversary • How three women processed church hurt in very different circumstances • Why staying and leaving can both leave things unresolved • What it means to reconcile your own heart when the other party won't • The role of community, counseling, and intentional inner work in healing • How church hurt can shape the way you trust, lead, and show up — without you realizing itKey Takeaways • You can leave a church without leaving the experience — healing requires intentional work either way • Forgiveness is a choice that doesn't require an apology to begin • The question isn't just what happened to you, but who you're becoming as a result • Processing hurt in community — not alone — makes a real difference • The pain doesn't have to write your story; God can redeem it if you let himSeries Note: This is part 3 of the Church Hurt series. Next week, the series closes with a look at the story of David and Absalom — and what it reveals about what happens when pain goes unprocessed.Keywords: church hurt healing, Christian women podcast, processing church trauma, forgiveness in the church, emotional health faith, leaving a church, church conflict recovery CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.

His teaching was astonishing, both because of what He taught and how He taught it.Topics covered:- US Open preview at Shinnecock Hills on Long Island- Fairways, greens, par 3's, and picks- The character of a disciple: the Beatitudes and being salt and light (Matthew 5:1-16)- The requirements of a disciple: unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-48)- The practices of a disciple: how to give, how to pray, how to fast, and how to relate to money (Matthew 6:1-7:12)- Do not be anxious about your life (Matthew 6:25)- Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33)- The assessment of a disciple: two gates, two roads, two groups, two destinations (Matthew 7:13-28)- Jesus as the Judge of the world (Matthew 7:21-23)- The wise man and the foolish man (Matthew 7:24-27)- Swing thoughts and final encouragementsFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Have you ever been in a church situation where something felt off, raised it, and had it go nowhere — and now you're trying to understand why?You can't have an honest conversation about church hurt without looking at leadership. The structure around leaders and the humanity inside them shapes everything. In this episode Jill starts with something that sounds obvious but rarely gets said honestly — pastors are human. Fully, vulnerably human. And when that reality doesn't have the right support around it, things drift. Slowly. In ways nobody sees coming.Jill walks through what church structure was actually designed to look like, what Scripture says about accountability in leadership, and what the story of Saul teaches us about how good people with real callings end up somewhere nobody intended.In This Episode•Why leadership is lonely in ways most congregations never see•What the New Testament actually says about church structure and accountability•How gradual drift happens — and why it's harder to catch than outright failure•Why the contrast between Saul and David is the most important part of the story•What “if you don't choose humility you will be humbled” looks like in real lifeKey Takeaways•The structure around a leader exists to protect them — not limit them•Drift looks like a series of small reasonable decisions until suddenly it doesn't•Scripture cares more about what happens after failure than whether failure happened•Anointed doesn't mean infallibleSeries NotePart 2 of the Church Hurt series.Keywordschurch hurt, pastor leadership, church accountability, spiritual drift, toxic church, Christian leadership CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.

In this episode, the guys talk about Ben's first Champions Tour win, the Memorial Tournament, and who gets into heaven from Matthew 7:21-27. These are sobering verses. But they can be extremely comforting if we come to Christ as He prescribes.We are getting to the end of our study on the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world.In Matthew 7:21-27, Jesus puts this assessment before us again. And in two different paragraphs, He makes clear who it is who will enter His kingdom in the end. There is hardly a more important question to understand and act on than this one.Topics covered:- Ben Crane wins his first tournament on the Champions Tour!- Congrats to JT Poston on a gritty win at the Memorial Tournament- RBC Canadian Open preview and picks- Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 7:21)- The one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven- On that day many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? (Matthew 7:22)- I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness (Matthew 7:23)- Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock (Matthew 7:24)- Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand (Matthew 7:26)- The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew (Matthew 7:25-27)- Real faith acts- Swing thoughtsFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Why is church hurt so hard to sort through—even when you're trying to approach it thoughtfully?In this episode, Jill begins a new series exploring the complexity of disappointment and tension within church communities. Not every situation is clear-cut. Sometimes something feels off, but there isn't full agreement on what's right or wrong—and that's where it becomes difficult to process.Rather than rushing to conclusions, this episode slows things down and looks at what may be happening underneath the experience. Jill walks through why these situations feel heavier than other types of conflict, why it's hard to talk about concerns without feeling like you're causing division, and how quickly our interpretations can start to shape what we believe is true.This episode isn't about assigning blame or figuring out who's right. It's about understanding the layers—so you can respond with more clarity, humility, and steadiness.In This Episode:Why church experiences often carry more emotional and spiritual weightThe tension between wanting to be careful and needing to process something that doesn't sit rightHow internal processing can shift into certainty without realizing itWhy these situations are rarely as simple as they first appearThe layers involved: leadership, culture, interpretation, and your own internal responseKey Takeaways:Church hurt often feels heavier because it involves trust, belonging, and shared faithNot every situation is clear—many involve differing perspectives rather than obvious right and wrongIt's possible to move too quickly toward silence or certainty without fully understanding what's happeningSlowing down your thinking creates space for clarity and wisdomYou don't have to resolve everything immediately to begin moving forward thoughtfullySeries Note:This episode is part of a four-part series on church hurt. In the coming weeks, we'll look more closely at leadership, hear from women who have walked through these experiences, and explore how to process what's happening in your own heart.Keywords:church hurt, Christian relationships, church conflict, spiritual discernment, emotional processing, Christian growth, navigating disappointment, faith and relationships, church leadership, Christian mindset CLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.

In this episode, after recapping the Charles Schwab Challenge and previewing the Memorial Tournament, the guys unpack Matthew 7:13-20 and Jesus' command for His disciples to enter by the narrow gate and beware of false prophets. There are only two gates, two roads, two groups, and two destinations. And spoiler alert! The right choice comes with difficulty. But it also comes with great reward.We are coming toward the end of our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world.Today we start the final section of the Sermon on the Mount, which deals with the assessment of a disciple in the kingdom of God. Today's passage, Matthew 7:13-20, brings us to a fork in the road. When it comes to Christ and His kingdom, these verses show us there are only two possible choices: two very different roads that lead to two very different destinations.Topics covered:- Congrats to Russell Henley on his win at Colonial and Memorial Tournament preview and picks- Enter by the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13)- Two gates, two roads, two groups, two destinations (Matthew 7:13-14)- The gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many- The gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few- Jesus as the narrow gate (John 10:9)- Beware of false prophets who come in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves (Matthew 7:15)- You will recognize them by their fruits (Matthew 7:16-20)- Religious, educational, and cultural false prophets in the 21st century- Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 7:19)- Swing thoughtsFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Why do so many Christian women feel emotionally exhausted, internally divided, and disconnected from themselves even when they deeply love God?In this surprise standalone episode, Jill talks about the tension many Christian women quietly carry every day — knowing the truth while still feeling anxious, reactive, overwhelmed, shut down, lonely, or emotionally scattered inside. Many women have learned to either get stuck in their emotions or disconnect from them completely and perform faithfulness while exhausted underneath it all.This episode explores what Scripture means when it calls us to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. Jill talks about emotional honesty, compartmentalization, authentic Christian community, and what it looks like to bring your mind, emotions, and will before God in a more integrated and wholehearted way. She also shares the deeper vision behind her upcoming Wholehearted workshop.In This Episode• Why many Christian women feel internally divided• The two emotional ditches women often fall into• Why emotions are not the enemy• What Scripture means by wholehearted living• How compartmentalization impacts emotional and spiritual health• Why shared language and authentic community matterKey Takeaways• Spiritual maturity is not about becoming less emotional• Many women are exhausted from performing faithfulness while disconnected internally• Emotions can become invitations to awareness, surrender, and growth• Wholehearted living means bringing your mind, emotions, and will before God honestly• Healing and growth often happen more deeply in honest communitySeries NoteThis is a standalone bonus episode outside Jill's normal monthly podcast series schedule.Keywords• Christian emotional health• Christian women and emotions• wholehearted living• faith and feelings• emotional healing for Christian women• Christian personal growthCLICK HERE to learn more and join me for Wholehearted live virtual workshop June 27, 10-1 pm CT.

In this episode, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson take a number of listener questions and then unpack Matthew 7:12. Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Our goal is that we would allow this verse to move past the layer of familiarity deep into our minds and down into our hearts so that it begins to transform the way that we live.We are continuing in our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world.We are finishing up the third major section in the Sermon on the Mount, which deals with the practices of a disciple in the kingdom of God. Today, we close out section three of the Sermon on the Mount by looking at one little verse: the Golden Rule. This little verse is the Law of the Kingdom in summary.Topics covered:- Listener questions on wedge bounce and grind, perseverance in the faith, and how to keep God the main thing while chasing a dream- The two steps Jesus gives us in the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12)- For this is the Law and the Prophets- Love your neighbor as yourself and the connection to the Golden Rule (Matthew 22:37-40)- Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another (John 13:34-35)- How has Jesus loved us?- When we love one another, everyone wins: it glorifies God, it serves others, it gladdens us, and it draws people to Jesus (John 15:8-12)- What does love look like in action: bearing burdens, encouraging, honoring, forgiving, speaking the truth in love- Swing thoughtsFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

How do you maintain a close relationship with your adult children while still setting healthy boundaries?In Episode 151 Jill Lillard explores one of the biggest transitions parents face as their children grow up. Parenting doesn't end when kids become adults, but the relationship does change. That shift often raises new questions about expectations, responsibility, and how to stay connected without trying to control.In this final episode of the Adult Children series, Jill reflects on what healthy closeness can look like in this stage of life. She talks about boundaries when adult children still live at home, how parents think about financial support, and the quiet process of letting go of earlier parenting roles. Jill also shares personal reflections about family traditions and the example her own parents set for raising adult children well.In This Episode• What expectations are reasonable when adult children still live at home• How to balance increased independence with responsibility• Questions parents wrestle with about financial help and support• Why shared traditions can strengthen connection with adult children• How the relationship shifts from authority toward mutual respectKey Takeaways• Parenting changes when children become adults, but the relationship can remain deeply meaningful.• Boundaries help adult relationships stay healthy and respectful.• Letting go often happens through small decisions over time.• Simple traditions and shared experiences help maintain connection.• Friendship can grow alongside the parent-child relationship.Series NoteThis episode concludes the Adult Children series on The Happiest Lives Podcast.There will not be a new episode next week since it's the fifth week of the month.

In this episode, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson unpack one of the sweetest invitations in the Bible. Disciples of Jesus are to ask, seek, and knock, with full confidence that our heavenly Father will answer our prayers with only good gifts. The guys also recap the PGA Championship at Aronimink and preview the Byron Nelson.We are continuing our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world.In today's passage, Jesus returns again to the topic of prayer. Prayer gets more attention than any other topic in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus tells us how we are to go about praying and why we are to go about praying like that. The original literally says keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking. This is Jesus' invitation to us to pray like a kid.Topics covered:- Ask, seek, and knock and why all three are present tense commands (Matthew 7:7)- Everyone who asks receives, the one who seeks finds, the one who knocks it will be opened (Matthew 7:8)- Bread and fish and what kinds of things we ought to ask for (Matthew 7:9-10)- How much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him (Matthew 7:11)- If God knows what we need before we ask, why pray?- How to process unanswered prayer- Praying in Jesus name, according to His will, and with faith- PGA Championship recap and Aaron Rai at Aronimink- Byron Nelson preview and picksFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com
“Behind every heroic firefighter, there is a man that has many, many different lives that we should be honoring also.” – Eileen Bellew, FDNY widowWe welcome Eileen Bellew, author of After John Jumped, for a deeply moving conversation about surviving profound loss, mothering through grief, and finding hope after tragedy. Eileen recounts the heartbreaking events of January 23, 2005, known as Black Sunday, when her husband John, a dedicated FDNY firefighter, lost his life in the line of duty. She shares the agonizing hours of uncertainty, the moment she said goodbye, and the challenges of facing unimaginable PTSD with four young children.Navigating grief in the public eye, Eileen describes trying to protect her children's innocence amidst intense media scrutiny, endless ceremonies, and the ongoing pain of public memorials. She discusses the multi-layered aspects of widowhood—how it altered her very identity, changed her approach to motherhood, and left her grappling with PTSD, anxiety, and the daunting question: “How do I rebuild?”Key takeaways from this episode:There is no right way to handle tragedy or grief—every decision is raw and personal.Support often means simply sitting in the muck with someone, rather than trying to “fix” their pain.The loss of a spouse can mean losing parts of yourself, but over time healing and resilience do grow—even if it takes years.Remarriage is not a replacement but a new chapter. You can love again while holding your lost loved one close.Eileen's journey is also chronicled in her memoir, which began as a legacy for her kids and grew into a beacon for others facing similar paths.Learn more about Eileen Bellew, her book, After John Jumped, and the upcoming Black Sunday movie at eileenbellew.com.Get the "Who Am I Now?"

Why does the relationship with your adult children sometimes feel tense or unclear?Many parents expect the relationship with their kids to stay mostly the same as they grow up. But adulthood changes the structure. What worked when they were younger no longer fits the same way.In this episode of The Happiest Lives Podcast, Jill Lillard walks through the natural shift that happens between parents and adult children. Instead of one lifelong dynamic, the relationship moves through stages as roles change and responsibility transfers.Jill explains the transition from parent-to-child to adult-to-adult, including the in-between season often called emerging adulthood—a stage where both parents and young adults are learning how to relate in a new way. She also shares practical ways to stay connected without overstepping or trying to manage your child's decisions.In This Episode• Why the parent-child structure was always meant to change• What “emerging adulthood” is and why it can feel unsettled• How parents can shift from directing to mentoring• Why influence often increases when control decreases• Simple ways to stay connected without managing your adult child's lifeKey Takeaways• The relationship with your child is designed to evolve• The “figuring-it-out” stage is normal for both parents and young adults• Letting go of control often strengthens connection• Respect and trust build a healthier adult-to-adult relationship• You can stay close without taking over responsibilitySeries NoteThis is Episode 3 in the series “Letting Your Adult Children Grow Up.”Keywordsparenting adult children, relationships with adult children, emerging adulthood, boundaries with adult children, Christian parenting, family relationshipsThe 4 Things You Must Do To Become The Happiest Wife- get FREE access HERE Ready to change your marriage without the exhausting work of trying to control your husband?

Episode 166 | "Judge Not" — What Does It Actually Mean? | Matthew 7:1-6 | The Greatest Sermon Ever Preached"Judge not" might be the two most misunderstood words in the entire Bible. In this episode, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson unpack Jesus' command in Matthew 7:1-6 — what it doesn't mean, what it does mean, and what it looks like to live it out in our marriages, friendships, and everyday relationships. The guys also recap the Truist Championship and preview the PGA Championship at Aronimink.We are continuing our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world. In today's passage, Jesus turns from personal piety to our horizontal relationships with one another — and there's hardly a bigger turn off than a judgmental Christian.Topics covered:- What "Judge not" doesn't mean — and how most people misunderstand it- Hypocritical judgmentalism vs. right judgment (John 7:24)- The log and the speck — self-examination before correcting others- Why disciples of Jesus shouldn't be judgmental (Matthew 7:2)- The Bema Seat — how the Lord will one day judge us- How to bring correction gently in marriage, parenting, and friendship- Discernment — when to stop casting pearls before pigs (Matthew 7:6)- The Golden Rule as the recipe for our horizontal relationships (Matthew 7:12)- PGA Championship preview — Aronimink Golf ClubFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

Have you ever wondered why relationships with adult children can suddenly feel tense—even when everyone cares about each other?Often, the conflict isn't actually about behavior. It's about expectations.Parents carry expectations about communication, holidays, faith, values, and the kind of relationship they imagined having with their children once they were grown. When those expectations go unspoken, disappointment can quietly turn into pressure.In this episode, Jill Lillard explores how expectations shape relationships with adult children and why they sometimes create distance instead of connection. She also talks about the grief many parents experience as their parenting role changes and how learning to release certain expectations can open the door to a new kind of relationship.In This Episode• Why many conflicts with adult children are actually about expectations• How expectations quietly turn into pressure in family relationships• The difference between something that is wrong and something that is simply different• How parents can stay clear about their values without damaging the relationship• The grief that often sits underneath unmet expectationsKey Takeaways• Expectations often shape our reactions more than our children's behavior• Pressure rarely produces closeness or influence• Some differences are simply generational or personal, not moral issues• Grieving the loss of a parenting role can be part of this life stage• Letting go of certain expectations can create space for a deeper adult-to-adult relationshipSeries NoteThis episode is the second installment in the Letting Your Adult Children Grow Up series, where Jill explores how parents can navigate the transition from raising children to relating to them as adults.The 4 Things You Must Do To Become The Happiest Wife- get FREE access HERE Ready to change your marriage without the exhausting work of trying to control your husband?
