Jenny shares insights on rupture and repair in relationships, the role of dads, and the necessity of allowing children to make mistakes.

It's kind of crazy how crazy things are right now. All that you have going on. All the stress that raising a family entails.

The Big Idea: Marriage isn't dying - It's Misunderstood Emerson explains the dynamic that has helped millions of couples: "Without Love, She reacts without Respect. Without Respect, He reacts without Love." - The Crazy Cycle Many husbangs aren't bad men, They're tired. They feel nothing they do is good enough. So they withdraw. And when they withdraw, their wives feel unloved. And the cycle spins. Why "Happy Wife, Happy Life" is Dangerous When a man bases his worth on his wife's happiness: -He makes her his emotional god. -He becomes insecure. -He becomes reactive. -He slowly loses hope. Emerson reframes this powerfully, "Is your value God-given... or spouse driven?" God may use your wife to refine you, but she does not get to define you. Why Men Stonewall (And Why It's Misunderstood) University of Washington research (2,000 couples over 20 years) revealed: -85% of those who withdraw in conflict are men. -Men's heart rate spike into fight-or-flight mode during heated arguments. -Withdrawal is an attempt to de-escalate, not to reject. But wives interpret it as: "I don't love you." That's where mutual understanding matters more than communication. The Sexual Disconnect: What Most Couples Miss Men often think, "If she loved me, she'd meet my sexual needs." Women often think, "If he loved me, he'd emotionally connect first." The truth? Both want emotional and sexual connection. They just start from different ends. "You have to love her emotionally apart from sexual agenda." When she feels safe, secure and pursued, her desire increases. When he feels respected and wanted, his heart opens. This isn't manipulation. It's understanding design. Different Shades of Right One of the most practical lightbuld moments: Most marriage conflict is not moral, it's preference. It's not black and white, but different shades of right. Instead of: "I'm right, you're wrong." Try: "We're teammates. Same team. Same goal. Different plays."  That language changes everything. Emerson's Challenge: Picture Jeses standing beyond your wife's shoulder. When she annoys you... Ask yourself, "Would I respond this way if I knew I was doing this unto Christ?" You would die for her. The real question is, "Can you live with her... patiently, consistently and sacrificially?"

Cowardice, people-pleasing, apathy, self-seeking — these sins are passive and easy to overlook. But when indulged, relationships dwindle, children drift, and households disintegrate. The panel discusses the pride that causes conflict-avoidance…right and wrong ways to say, "I don't want to argue about this"….the right time to be silent or emotionally detached…and how to engage, even when it's hard.

I'm always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why was Red Foreman on That 70's Show smart mouthed and mean?  Plus…TV dads, almost every show or movie showcases them as being buffoons or behind in the times.    I'm Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it's my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It's still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Send a textWhat if the best leadership training you'll ever get happens at your kitchen table? We sit down with Michael Clark—CRO of Asymbl, former Salesforce leader, TEDx speaker, and proud dad of three—to unpack a practical, heart-forward playbook for leading a family with the same intention you'd bring to a high-performing team.Michael shares the simple structure that guides him: a personal why statement and three values—authenticity, accountability, and action. You'll hear how honest check-ins with his daughters build real trust, why delivering on promises lays a foundation for hard conversations, and how “big speak-ups” like ordering their own food help kids practice courage in everyday life. We trade stories about vulnerability—teens seeing their dad admit fear or shed tears—and how those moments shape emotional fluency. We also explore the language shift from “need to” and “should” to “I will,” a small change that lowers anxiety and raises ownership for both parents and kids.The conversation reaches beyond home into work and purpose. Michael reframed sales as outcome-driven service—less about pushing products, more about solving human problems. From pharma to Salesforce to his role at Assemble, he shows how aligning work with values makes impact sustainable. We dig into workforce orchestration and how human-plus-digital teams free people for empathy, creativity, and relationship building—skills that win at home and in business. Along the way, we cover modeling independence without overhelping, protecting sleep as a leadership habit, and using curiosity to guide teens through team dynamics and identity.You'll leave with tools you can use tonight: ask one better question, keep one small promise, and take one action that reflects your family values.

One of the most intriguing, humbling, and challenging aspects of being a parent is how our kids mirror who WE are. And what's really difficult are the societal — or cultural — norms shaping who we are as humans. Who are we becoming as adults?How are the decisions we make shaping our kids?Do our unrealized emotions influence how resilient our kids are becoming? As we continue our series on Raising Gen Alpha Kids, these are questions Dr. Josh and Christi address. Some highlights include: What it means to “choose your hard”How loneliness becomes a byproduct of self-protectionHow silence plays itself out in marriage and the cost it has on our kidsWhat if you're exhausted and can't choose the hard thing?The joy and “hard” of helping our kids build resilienceTime Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:28 Ways to go deeper7:30 Choosing your hard11:40 Loneliness and the environment of the home16:19 How loneliness becomes a byproduct of our self-protection20:03 How silence plays itself out in marriage and the cost it has on our kids23:10 What if you're exhausted and can't choose the hard thing?27:48 Choosing a different kind of “hard”32:41 The joy and “hard” of helping our kids build resilience Show Notes:Ladies, sign up here for Spring Tender & Fierce Cohort! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Interested in our Spring Love Your Marriage Cohort?

Why is it that so many of us try to impress ambition on our kids? Why are we trying to push them to become famous or powerful? Have we not seen the people who tend to get to these positions? Have we not seen how it works out for them?

This episode of The Dad Verb Podcast features Cory Allen. Cory is a former police officer, a U.S. Secret Service agent, and a current Supervisory Special Agent. He joins us to talk about his new children's book, Dada Takes a Trip, on sale February 24, 2026.

From the pressure to “get it right” to the constant second-guessing, so many of us carry quiet questions in motherhood: Am I doing enough? Am I messing this up? Am I a good mom? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Sara and Marissa sit down with author and podcast host Hallie Dye to talk honestly about the weight moms carry—and the freedom found in surrendering that weight to the One who never fails. Hallie shares the heart behind her first book, You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails, and unpacks what it really means to be “a good mom” from a biblical perspective. Together, they discuss why our limitations are by design, how surrender reshapes the way we approach our roles, and how to navigate the tension between responsibility and trust in God. Whether you're in the thick of diapers and sleepless nights or navigating new challenges with older kids, this conversation is a gentle reminder: your worth was never meant to be measured by your performance. You are still a good mom. -- Meet our guest: Hallie Dye Book: You're Still a Good Mom: Motherhood Surrendered to the One Who Never Fails  Podcast: The Saltworks -- Question of the Week: What is something you enjoy and want me to keep doing as your mom/dad? -- Hosts: Sara Jones & Marissa Ray Guest: Hallie Dye Producers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun -- Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!

Hey friends, Joe Barlow here — welcome back to the Joseph Barlow Podcast, also known as Dads & Fathers.Today is Episode 11, and I'm genuinely excited because I'm bringing you an interview that I believe is going to strengthen you. I sat down with my new friend Reagan Givhan — and listen… this brother and his wife have twelve kids. Twelve. And what you're going to hear isn't just a “big family story”… it's a testimony of grace, faith, and the way God supplies when you say yes to Him.Reagan leads a ministry called Holy Temple Fitness, and it's not just about working out — it's about being fit in every area: spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and relationally. But the heartbeat you're going to feel in this conversation is his passion for holiness, purity, and building a family on purpose — not by accident, not by pressure, but by hearing God and obeying Him.And we go deep — we talk about fatherhood identity, the grace to parent, the power of an open-heart relationship with your kids, and why that little question “why?” is so important… because it builds strength on the inside of your children, so they can stand when the world pushes back.Now quick heads-up: I'm probably moving to one episode a week for a season instead of daily — and that's okay. We're going to keep flowing, keep building, and keep bringing you something that helps you become the man God made you to be.Alright—before we jump in, let's pray.Father, I ask You to bless this time with my brother Reagan. We love You with all our heart. Flow by Your Spirit, say what You want to say, do what You want to do. We commit this time to You.

Drift turns great fathers into weekend visitors, and it rarely happens in a courtroom. It happens quietly, in the decision gap—when pressure, fear of conflict, and “nice guy” habits push dads to give ground they never meant to lose. We unpack a clear, actionable roadmap for divorced dads to shed codependency, reclaim boundaries, and lead with grounded integrity that protects your time, your sanity, and your bond with your kids.We start by naming the pattern: conflict avoidance, overgiving for approval, and the resentment that follows. From there, we move through ten practical steps that change outcomes fast. You'll learn how to recognize your inherent worth, establish and communicate firm boundaries, and practice calm assertiveness without tipping into aggression. We dig into self-care as a non-negotiable performance edge, the daily work of challenging negative beliefs, and how small, consistent wins rebuild self-respect. Vulnerability takes center stage as a strength—opening the door to authentic connection with your kids, co-parent, and community.We also explore ownership of happiness: building a life that is not fueled by external validation, but by purpose, faith, and disciplined habits. Support matters, so we talk about finding the right circle—therapy, men's groups, or 12-step communities—that reflect your growth when you cannot see it. Finally, we ground the journey in authenticity and values. When your choices match what you stand for, you stop performing “nice” and start living kind, clear, and steady. That is the posture your children can trust and follow.If this resonates, share it with a dad who needs backup. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the first boundary you'll set this week—your kids are counting on you. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors.

It's our job as parents to remind our kids that they're not powerless, that no matter what's happening around them, they can create change in themselves and in their communities. In this episode, Sharon McMahon, author of The Small and the Mighty, joins Ryan to talk about how we instill real, grounded hope in our kids and help them see that making a difference isn't reserved for someone else. It's within their reach.Sharon is known as “America's Government Teacher,” and after years as a high school government teacher, Sharon now runs the non-partisan, fact-based Instagram account @sharonsaysso. Sharon just released her book, The Small and the Mighty, where she proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn't make it into the textbooks.

Life coach and personal shopper Cathy O' Connor tells Brendan about the new stars of your wardrobe for spring, including the quarter zip jumper, and balloon jeans, and why regardless of what's on the catwalk, you never need to stop wearing clothes you love.

There are consequences to our decisions, the decision to work too much, to check out of a marriage, to not deal with our issues. The problem is that we fool ourselves believing that we can live with those consequences.

Your marriage should tell the story of the gospel — but irritation and busyness often drag it off course, especially once you have kids. The panel talks about practical ways to cultivate friendship and affection with your wife (both physically and emotionally)…fostering oneness and guarding intimacy…and maintaining margin for each other without neglecting work and children.

No one has ever looked back as their kids grew up or at the end of their own life and thought, “Perfect attendance was worth it.”

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're getting ready to BABYMOON. If you're watching this, we're on the beach right now (yay) trying to figure out what you even call a babymoon for baby number two (because “babymoon” feels… aggressive). Sprinkle? Second moon? TBD. Either way, we recorded this episode right before heading out and immediately spiraled. We start with trip planning debates, pregnancy food rules (can you eat beef carpaccio while pregnant?), and the age-old question of what actually matters more at a restaurant: the food or the vibe.  Then we get into the big one: failing the one-hour glucose test. What it means, what it doesn't, what comes next, and why it's way less dramatic than it sounds but still mentally jarring when you get the call. From there, we talk about ear piercing timing, leg shaving & making the bed. Mid-episode we cover Valentine's Day, the jewelry-box-at-dinner move, whether we regret buying so much pink before having a boy, and the very real struggle of finding a nickname for baby boy that YOU GUYS like. Travel etiquette becomes a full debate (as always): reclining seats, switching seats for families, and whether you're ever obligated to move on a plane. We also get into babysitter etiquette (if you say “help yourself to anything,” do you actually mean anything?), and then unpack the viral Girl Scout story where one girl sold $450k worth of cookies… and where that money really goes. We wrap with a Bicker of the Week, two Things We DMed Each Other (Olympics + Waymo obv), and a parenting takeaway that stuck with us all week: tell kids what TO do, not just what NOT to do. LOVE YOU GUYS.

Send a textWhat if leading at home wasn't about fixing every problem, but about showing up with curiosity, clear standards, and follow-through you can keep? We sit down with Thomas Miller—therapist, coach, and host of the Four Peaks Parent podcast—to explore how dads can guide teens through injury, identity shifts, and big feelings without swinging to extremes.Thomas shares the hard-won lessons that shaped his approach: art school beginnings, building programs for LGBTQ youth, and running a wilderness therapy team responsible for 62 high‑risk teens. Layer in profound personal loss and years of clinical work, and you get a grounded, no-nonsense playbook for family leadership. We unpack why “Do it right, do it once” is more than a motto, how to transform rehab into purpose, and why small, consistent wins beat grand speeches every time.We get practical about mental health. Instead of chasing labels, Thomas returns to ADLs—sleep, movement, hygiene, purposeful work, connection—and Freud's simple barometer: work, love, play, and laughter. He maps the two pitfalls he sees most often: parents who minimize obvious issues until a child “gets sicker” to be seen, and parents who pathologize every wobble. The middle path uses clear assessment, heart-centered language, and boundaries you'll actually enforce. You'll also hear how couples' communication styles—head-on versus avoidant—leak into parenting, and what it takes to co-write a healthier family culture.If you're a dad juggling a demanding job, teen sports, and rising anxiety at home, this conversation hands you a framework: lead with curiosity, set standards you model, and let kids own outcomes. Less rescuing, more guiding. Less reacting, more discernment. Subscribe, share with a dad who needs it, and leave a review with the one standard you're committing to this week.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

If you feel like you're drowning right now… this one's for you.Trying to follow Jesus with integrity.Trying to love your wife well.Trying to disciple your kids.Trying to provide and carry the weight of responsibility.That's four heavy bags already.And then the world keeps asking for more.More opinions.More commitments.More distractions.More “opportunities.”In today's episode, we talk about why it's okay to say, “My hands are full.”Why you don't have to carry every bag handed to you.And why saying no might be one of the most faithful things you do.Strong families begin with healed men.Sometimes healing looks like limits.

The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That's not hyperbole. What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves? We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface. But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears. In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we're doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:03 Christi and Josh introduce a NEW season5:40 The mental health of Gen Z9:57 Parenting and mental health16:20 The effects of the decisions we make as parents and addressing parental fears25:30 Spiritual laws that influence our parenting31:00 Running into our fears and the hope of being a parent today35:25 Conscious and unconscious choices we make as parents40:00 How fear-based narratives influence our parenting44:34 What is God's role in how you parent? Show Notes:Ladies, sign up here for Spring Tender & Fierce Cohort! https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Interested in our Spring Love Your Marriage Cohort?

It's crazy. It's painful to think how little we have left, how little is left of their childhood, how little time there is left, period. You can let that thought depress you…or clarify.

This week on That's a Good Point, Dion, Jon, and Irv rewind the clock and rank the TV dads who practically raised us. The ones who taught life lessons in 22 minutes, solved problems before the theme song ended, and somehow owned one good seat in the living room. Are you a Cliff or Carl person? What about Homer or Al? Who got left off?

Why do we tell our kids stories? Why do we tell them about history? Teach them about George Washington, Martin Luther King, Cinncinatus, Florence Nightingale, Jesus, Marcus Aurelius? Because it matters.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're answering YOUR questions - but fair warning: we had a lot to say (40 mins worth) before we got there. In our defense: shampoo recs, steak temperatures, and daddy/daughter dances felt important at the time (LOL).  OK SO FIRST… We talk about 5AM toddler mornings (is this a phase?!), using ChatGPT to survive your inbox, and the very unexpected realization that if you have a nut allergy… you might want to check your shampoo ingredients. We also debate 2-in-1 shampoo (dealbreaker or fine?), and Harrison pitches his “best worst idea of the week”: Tinder… but for streaming services. From there, we get into pregnancy things no one warns you about - including dental issues during pregnancy (are dentists still running the biggest scam in America?! IYKYK) - and why dads showing up to “mommy & me” classes might actually be one of our favorite cultural shifts. We talk daddy/daughter dances, the #1 toddler birthday party idea that parents will actually enjoy, and why themed dinner parties deserve a comeback. Then we spiral into food takes (you can't order burgers medium-rare in Canada?!), whether sending food back is ever worth it, and finally dive into your Q&A questions: should a new baby bring a “gift” for their sibling, what really matters when choosing an OBGYN, what to prepare for before labor, and what actually belongs in a hospital bag - including the one item I would never, ever skip. We also talk about what we're most excited for with a baby boy, whether there's a “best” season to be pregnant, and if we're planning to open investment accounts for the kids. We wrap with a comment section debate that got people fired up (apparently ppl are really pro-spanking???) and a Bicker of the Week about wearing your partner's clothes before they do (which OF COURSE is fine IF they are pregnant lol).  LOVE YOU GUYS.
