Does having children or being married make you more unhappy than single or childless individuals? Many people (rightly) say 'Yes'! That's why more and more people are choosing to remain single, to avoid long-term commitments, and to vow to never have children at all. Because it IS hard and often makes you 'unhappy'.But what if happiness is not the point of life? What if the challenges of marriage and parenting aren't something to avoid, but the very things that make life meaningful? In this episode, we dive into a conversation inspired by a Facebook post that sparked a debate on whether the struggles of raising children and maintaining a marriage are worth it. The Dennings explore the idea that, far from being reasons to quit, these challenges are paths to personal growth, fulfillment, and a more rewarding, meaningful (even if sometimes unhappy), life.They also challenge the modern trend of avoiding discomfort for the sake of comfort and convenience, instead suggesting that leaning into the struggles—whether it's raising kids or nurturing a relationship—is what leads to lasting satisfaction. In fact, just like any skill, marriage, and parenting require knowledge, practice, and the right tools to truly thrive.Not everyone should necessarily pursue marriage or parenthood, but if you choose that path, it's important to do it well. Developing the skills needed to navigate the challenges of family life is essential for creating a fulfilling and meaningful experience.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the chaos of family life, or if you're on the fence about whether marriage and family are right for you, this episode offers insights and encouragement to help you not just survive but thrive. And if you're ready to develop those skills, we can help you with the tools you need to create the Extraordinary Family Life of your dreams.RESOURCES:Let us help you in your extraordinary family life journey.JOIN GREG'S 90-DAY HEALTH & FITNESS CHALLENGE! Get Rachel's ⁠⁠Family Systems & Charts⁠⁠Join the ⁠⁠28-Day Challenge⁠⁠ for MomsRachel's ⁠⁠Must-Read Booklist for Well-Read Moms⁠⁠⁠Greg's ⁠⁠Recommended Reading List for Parents & Youth⁠⁠Join the Formidable Family Man Masterclass and TribeJoin Greg's 7-Day Challenge Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@worldschoolfamily⁠ or ⁠@greg.denning⁠Gather with us at the ⁠World School Family (Beach & Farm) Resort⁠ in PortugalRead our reviews here: https://podcast.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/reviews/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcast.extraordinaryfamilylife.com/voicemail/

In this thought-provoking episode of the Extraordinary Family Life podcast, hosts Greg and Rachel Denning explore the profound impact of societal systems on parenting and family life.

They emphasize the importance of fostering a strong foundation for children, focusing not just on academic success but on mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. They argue that success should not be confined to grades and jobs but redefined to prioritize happiness, autonomy, and resilience.

The conversation also critiques the flaws in the traditional educational system and underscores the value of preparing children for their unique life missions. By teaching kids to navigate failure, embrace challenges, and develop self-initiative, parents can cultivate a future generation ready to thrive beyond societal expectations. This episode offers invaluable insights for parents seeking to break free from outdated systems and create an extraordinary, significant life for themselves and their children.

In this inspiring episode, hosts Greg and Rachel Denning delve into the philosophy of 'escaping the unhappy dream of our life' and creating a truly fulfilling life instead. They discuss why so many people are 'content' with the results they have instead of pursuing the results they really want. Creating a truly happy life requires deliberate choices and intentional actions. Hard work is required to achieve anything extraordinary. The difference is, with the right coaching and mentoring, you can learn to work hard with 'power tools' instead of doing everything 'by hand'. The Dennings also explore how divine discontent can fuel personal growth and transformation and can be the key to fulfillment. They highlight the importance of continuous effort in pursuing happiness and encourage listeners to reject mediocrity in favor of an extraordinary life. Because if they can do it, so can you, since they began their journey as completely 'normal' people. It's time to identify what you truly want and take the first steps (even baby steps) toward a life you love!

In this episode, Greg and Rachel Denning answer this question: "Wondering if you have advice for someone who has been trying to pour everything into life/marriage to make it extraordinary but the spouse is not showing up and 'being the man' as Greg has defined. If they try, they relapse or it seems like the bare minimum is done. It has been years of this and it feels like it's holding us back from an extraordinary life. Wondering your thoughts on handling situations like that when it feels like you have tried everything and given it time." The truth is an extraordinary marriage requires work. But Greg and Rachel Denning tackle the all too common dilemma: what to do when one spouse is giving their all to make their marriage extraordinary, but the other isn't stepping up. They delve into the essence of a thriving marriage, emphasizing the power of daily choices and the need for 'extraordinary' effort (and why 'good' is not good enough). Greg and Rachel stress the importance of utilizing the right tools (in the right way) even if you've 'tried everything' -- and persisting through challenges. They explain the issue of 'collusion' and destructive, self-sabotaging patterns in relationships and explain how to break free from them. Rachel highlights the significance of personal accountability and understanding the differences between men and women -- men need respect and women need to feel cherished -- for fostering a healthy partnership. They urge spouses to 'bring the tide' and become agents of change in their relationships through self-improvement, emphasizing the effect 'bringing the tide' can have on spouses. Offering practical advice, the Dennings present a roadmap for enhancing marriages even if you're the 'only one' -- with a warning against heeding misguided counsel (like Ruby Franke). Key Takeaways: Marriage requires continuous effort and dedication. Small choices yield significant results over time. Extraordinary effort is indispensable for exceptional outcomes -- but it's easier than it sounds. Utilize the right tools and continuously expand your skill set.

The newlywed couple kept things low-key for their guest list, which only included about 15 people. Luckily, close friends Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song made the cut. “I even handmade all of our wedding florals, aisle pieces and our ceremony arch, which took three entire days,” said Dennings. “I wanted to be hands-on with the entire experience and feel like we had built our moment together from scratch.” Kat's mother Ellen Litwack walked her down the aisle following the tragic death of her father Gerald less than two months before the big day.主播：周邦琴Albert●没有名牌大学背景，没有英语专业背景●没有国外留学经历，没有英语生活环境●22岁成为500强公司全球员工英文讲师●24岁自学成为同声传译●25岁为瑞士联邦总统翻译

Hi all and welcome to this hot topic Not Boring Workout we’re calling The Heart-Pumping Guide to the Women Who Might Be One Heartbeat Away from Being President Workout.Why is it a heart-pumping guide? Because today is going to be all about cardio...and Biden’s shortlist of running mates.  So, start by jogging in place.During this workout, and all of our workouts, you never need to worry about counting reps or keeping time.  Each exercise will be described and then you will simply repeat or hold that exercise until I say stop.  There’s a handy little bell-sound too. Ding.Good. Keep going but let’s add in high-knees. This is kind of like a quick march but with each step you want to raise your knee up and touch it with your opposite elbow. Left knee to right elbow. Right knee to left elbow.  Quick quick quick.As soon as it became clear that Joe Biden, for reasons I still can’t quite fathom, was going to be the Democrats presidential candidate, it also became clear that he would select a woman to be his VP.There have only been two previous female candidates for VP which is pretty crazy. The first was Democrat Geraldine Ferarro who ran with Walter Mondale.  They lost in a total landslide to Ronald Regan and George H.W. Bush in 1984. And then there was the pride and joy of Alaska,  Republican Sarah Palin who was John McCain’s unfortunate pick to run with him against Barack Obama and um, oh yeah, Joe Biden.Ding.Time for jumping jacks. If I was actually doing this workout with you this would be my favorite part. I love jumping jacks. Makes me feel like a kid. So, jump kids! Jump!It’s pretty fair to say that neither McCain nor Mondale were likely contenders to begin with but considering how things have been going lately Biden’s chances are looking up. That means there is a real chance that we’ll see our first female VP in 2020. And not to be morbid but Biden will be 78 when he takes office and has already hinted that he might be one-n-done meaning his VP will probably be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024.When it comes to the current VP options, there have been quite a few names tossed around. And team Biden is keeping its cards close to the chest. That said, we’ve got a pretty good idea of who’s being considered.Ding.Heart rate going up? Good. Time for squats. You can do them fast or you can do them slow but you gotta keep doing them until I say stop. If you don’t know how to do them, stand with your feet a bit wider than hip-width apart. Bend your knees like you are going to sit in a chair.  As your thighs get close to 90 degrees, stand back up.  Try to keep your chest up and back straight. Keep going.At first, it looked like it could be fellow really old person Elizabeth Warren or the younger but kind of uninspiring Amy Klobuchar. But as much of the country continues to protest against rampant systemic racism and demands more diverse representation in both government and corporations there is no question that Biden should and almost definitely will select a woman of color to join him on the campaign trail.Yeah, I know, polls still have Warren in the mix but I just can’t see it happening. She’ll make an amazing Secretary of State or Treasury and I don’t even think she’d accept the offer in the current climate. So, let’s take a closer look at the women most likely to end up a heartbeat away from the oval office.Ding.Told ya this was a hard workout.  And now it’s time for Mountain Climbers.  Place your hands flat on the floor, shoulder width apart. Extend your legs fully behind you with only your toes and balls of your feet touching the floor. Your body should be in a straight line, with your weight supported on your hands and toes only. Starting with either leg, flex your knee and hip at the same time to bring your knee up to your chest. Your other leg should remain fully extended. Now reverse the position of your legs, by extending the bent leg back and simultaneously flexing the straight leg until it is in the start position. It’s kind of like running in a pushup position. Go go go!The current frontrunner is the 55-year-old former candidate and current Senator from California Kamala Harris. If we were picking based on parents, Harris would probably win by a mile.  Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a Tamil Indian breast-cancer scientist who immigrated from India in 1960. Her father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University Emeritus Professor of Economics, who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961. Pretty sweet genes.Harris started off as a lawyer and made her way up the ranks of the California District Attorney’s office. In 2004, she was elected District Attorney of San Francisco and then in 2010, Harris won the election as California's Attorney General  where she served until 2016 when she became California's third female U.S. Senator, and the first of either Jamaican or Indian ancestryAlthough her own bid for the presidency came to an end during the primaries, she was strong on the debate stage and her experience in the Senate means she’s got a solid perspective on current players and issues on capital hill.Ding.Alright, time for a sort of a break. Lie down on your back, keeping your knees bent. Time for heal-touchers.  Fully extend your arms down the side of your body, palms facing in. This is the start position. Exhaling, crunch your torso forward and to the right until you can touch your right heel with your right hand. Hold for a count of one. Return to the starting position smooth motion, inhaling as you do so. Repeat the movement, this time to your left side. Keep going.Word on the street is that Jill Biden might not be the biggest fan of Kamala Harris and with Joe spending all his time at home Jill is certainly getting her opinions heard. So, next on the likely-list is Val Demings.While the moniker “Florida Man” inspires ridicule, Demings makes a strong case for why a “Florida Woman” might be the right choice for this crucial moment in our nation’s history.  Born in Jacksonville in 1957 to working class parents, Demings attended segregated schools in 1960’s before obtaining her degree in Criminology from Florida State university in 1979. She returned to Webster University and earned a master’s degree in Public Administration in 1996.More to the point, Dennings joined the Orlando Police Department in 1983. She started off as a beat cop and eventually became the city’s first black Chief of Police in 2007, serving until 2011. This seems to be both a pro and a con according to the “pundits” - Orlando cops have a pretty terrible record of all the bad things cops do and Demings was in charge for a while. On the other hand, she has a deep understanding of just how broken the system is and might know what it will take to change it.Demings is currently serving in the US House of Representatives and played a big role in the Trump impeachment hearings, so she knows her way around the swamp.Ding.Ok, just because I care so much about you, stay on your backs. Let’s do some hip thrusts. All ya gotta do is keep you legs bent, feet flat on the floor.  Put your hands to your sides and lift your hips up off the ground. Give a little core squeeze at the top and then lower back down. Repeat! Up. Down. Up. Down. Keep going.Which brings us to Susan Rice, who you might remember from her time in the Obama administration where she served as both the National Security Advisor and Ambassador to the United Nations.Rice is a DC native, born in 1964 to some seriously smart parents. Mom was an education policy scholar and dad was an economics professor. Clearly not one to rest on her laurels (love that phrase!) Rice was a 3-sport varsity athlete, school president and Valedictorian in high school, got her BA in history from Stanford and then went to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar for her Masters and then Doctorate in Philosophy and International Relations. Damn.While part of the Obama administration Rice was heavily involved in both the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris Climate Accords. She also faced criticism for her role in the Benghazi affair, which could be made into an issue should she be selected.  There’s no question Rice has the international experience edge but she’s never held public office so her abilities on the campaign trail are an open question.Ding.Alright, that’s enough lying around. I really only gave you a break because now you have to do Burpees, which suck. If you’ve done them before, get to it! If not, here’s a breakdown. Start standing. In one smooth motion, squat down and place your hands palms down on the floor in front of your feet. Lean forward, so your weight is on your hands, at the same time jumping or walking your legs out behind you until they are fully extended. Your body should form a straight line with your weight supported on your toes and the balls of your feet and your arms fully extended. (In a push up position). Now do a pushup. Then jump or walk your feet forward to just behind your hands. Use an explosive motion to push through your heels and jump up in the air. Once you land, do it again.Atlanta is one of the country’s most dynamic cities and their mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, has proven to be a dynamic leader. Bottoms was born and raised in Atlanta and is the only mayor in Atlanta's history to have served in all three branches of government, serving as a judge and City Councilmember before being sworn in as Mayor.An early Biden supporter, Bottoms was already being vetted before gaining national attention for quickly calling for the firing of the officer who fatally shot Rayshard Brooks. Bottoms has been an outspoken Trump critic, argued against Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s early re-opening of the state in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and has been pushing hard for police reforms in Atlanta.Probably the biggest knock against her is simply her lack of national political and foreign affairs experience.  Considering Biden’s age this could weigh heavy in the final decision making process.  Ding.Now, I know you’re feeling pretty winded at this point and we are almost done but we’ve got one more candidate and one more exercise - we’re gonna burn out those arms with arm circles. These kinda creep up on ya. So you’re standing up straight. Put your arms out to your sides in a “T”.  Reach through your fingertips and then start making small circles forward. I’ll let you know when to switch directions.Our last contender, and I’ve gotta admit she’s become a bit of longshot, is Stacey Abrams. Born in Wisconsin, raised in Mississippi and then Georgia, Abrams’ parents are both Methodist ministers.  Abrams is one of several contenders with a law degree, graduating from the Yale Law School in 1999. She served in the Georgia General Assembly from 2007 to 2017 and then narrowly lost the Georgia Governor’s race in 2018. Ok, switch direction on those arm circles.Abrams gained a lot of attention when she became the first African-American woman to give the Democrat’s response to Trump’s State of the Union address in 2019.  She’s a powerful speaker who has been fighting hard against voter suppression as the leader of the Fair Fight Action advocacy group.But while she has made it quite clear she’d love to be the next VP, much like Bottoms, her main obstacle is a lack of major office experience.Ding.That’s it! You did it.  No more hard work.  Let’s reward that with a nice stretch.  Reach your arms up high over, reach, and then reach down for your toes. Hold that.  Now back up to the sky. And down to your toes. Do a few more of those nice and slow.Word on the street is that Biden will announce his VP pick sometime in August, which seems pretty soon but is also a long time away all things considered. It’s also still possible Biden will end up picking a white woman but with so many strong women of color in the mix it would be surprising. And disappointing.Ding.So, why don’t you give yourself a nice strong hug. And release.That’s it. We’re done! Not Boring Workouts is a completely independent effort - it’s just me and David - so we’d love your help spreading the word.

We move into 2 Nephi and return to Lehi and his blessing of his family. 1. The Covenant 2. Blessings, Patriarchal

Now we turn from Lehi to Nephi ALL ABOUT We learn some of the structure and setting that will ultimately give us an overview of the message: The Lamb of God, the Atoning Messiah. The Savior of the World. 1. Watch for the last verse of Chapter 10, THEN read chapter 11 2. inclusio: a kind of book ends, using a repeat of a phrase or verse, to highlight the themes or ideas inclosed. 3. Nephi will use these themes we're going to see in chapters 11-14 for the rest of 1 and 2 Nephi, use Isaiah to highlight it, and even the rest of the Book of Mormon underlines them!

The Book of Revelation continues 1. Tone 2. Who/what/when 3. Structure Revelation 1:1-8

The Holidays are here and we can help you shift the focus from things to experiences with great advice from New Dream. In this episode, I talk to Guinevere Higgins and Kelley Dennings of New Dream. New Dream is a non-profit whose mission is to empower individuals, communities and organizations to transform the ways they consume to improve well-being for people and the planet.   Guinevere is the Director of Strategic Partnerships at New Dream. She is an ardent believer in the ability of individuals and communities to take action and ownership to make positive change. She finds the strategic partnerships necessary to support transformational activities on the community level.   Kelley Dennings spent 15 years in the recycling industry and now works with the Center for Biological Diversity, focusing on consumption's effects on wildlife and habitat. She works at the intersection of health, environment and social change, and serves on New Dream's Advisory Council.   We are releasing this episode during the Holidays because the focus of much of our discussion is about how to enjoy a season with more fun and less stuff. Also, a quick note. I should have had Guinevere step away from the mike a bit as her voice distorts from time to time. Entirely my bad, but this episode has so much good stuff that I hope you can ignore this production issue and enjoy the content.

We finish the Book of Hebrews. Excuse me while I share a personal story about faith and learning how the Savior is our friend, the Way, the Author and Finisher of our Faith.

Samantha is hired by a 13 year old Kat Dennings to plan a fancy bat mitzvah that has EVERYTHING, Miranda gets braces, Carrie hangs with a weed smokin' comic book guy who lives with his parents, and Charlotte and Trey set up a date between Rebecca and Scooner, which gets derailed by JUGGS. This episode is a lot about going back to your youth: passing notes, getting braces, smokin' doobies, etc. Kid stuff! And how long do you have to live in NYC before you're a "New Yorker"? And we reveal Jon's REAL past as a nude model. Twitter: @sexcidiotspod Instagram: @sexandthecidiots

This pastoral epistle to Titus is written by Paul to one of his spiritual sons, Titus. The bishop of the greek island of Crete, Titus is really applicable to us, today. 1. The Faithfulness of God. The God who does not lie! 2. The ability for Christ to change us, and we can affect a community 3. God's Mercy saves us Wow, I loved diving back into this letter. It teaches me of Christ and how I want to be better and a good disciple.

Come, Follow Me continues Paul teaches Timothy, the Bishop of Ephesus about 1. Hope 2. The role of women in the Church 3. False Doctrine being taught then...what does that mean for us today? 3. Persecutions will come, but it is worth it I still love these letters. So easy to read, so heartfelt, so focused on the Savior and practical applications.

No MCU news this week, so I look at a comic book that is coming out soon. And for the main part of the episode, I talk about why I liked the first Thor movie and how it holds up to a recent viewing.

Oh boy, it was a busy week in the world of Marvel. First we had massive news come from the world of Spider-Man as Sony and Disney couldn't agree how to share him. Then there was D23 (Disney Expo) where we got a whole lot more show and movie news announced.

Today we dig deeper into Romans Chapters 1 and 3. While there is so much to cover, we'll do Romans 1: 16 -13 and Romans 3: 23 - 25 This is a lot to unravel, so first we'll work through the following terms: Gospel Grace Justification Righteousness/Faithfulness of God Covenant Faith This is the GOOD NEWS and powerful stuff. Here are some talks I reference. SUPER powerful and worth listening tol Elder Uchdorft https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2015/04/the-gift-of-grace?lang=eng Brad Wilcox https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/brad-wilcox/his-grace-is-sufficient/

We jump into Paul's Master work = Epistle to the Romans. Before we dive in, let's talk about Context How What Why and the Structure. I have learned SO much from the letter. It is complex and my opinions are changing as I learn more. Some additional Resources: NT Wright: Paul an Introduction (He has a lot on Paul and Romans and you can't go wrong here) The chart with metaphors of Paul https://byustudies.byu.edu/system/files/pdfs/Charts/NT/15-12.pdf Ben Spackman is a rockstar. Here is a great summary of concepts and resources. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/benjaminthescribe/2019/07/covenant-and-law-grace-works-and-faith/

When people are cruel, they are just passing on the degradation in themselves. On the other hand, when people are kind, they are passing on the goodness in themselves. Be generous make a difference, there is always a way to be kind to others. While the Dennings were in Costa Rica, money was tight. Even though they were in a tough spot, they saw others who were living in an even worse condition. What could they do to help? They got friends back in the states to donate hundred of books for this villages school! They made a bookshelf and had become close to a specific family living there. Greg and Rachel had gotten a few really nice books they wanted them to read, as soon as he handed them to this family, the mother started shouting at the neighbors to come and see. Greg was astonished, he didn't have anymore books and didn't necessarily want everyone to know that he had just given out a special few. He asked her why she immediately wanted to share? The mother said "Today is my special day, I want to share it. I know that when I am having a bad day they will share their happy days with me too."

So you know the "Three Rs," right? Recycle is the famous one, but #1 in this trio (REDUCE) deserves more creative attention and - use!                      In a recent blog post, recycling professional Kelley Dennings considered why the recycling community may be ditching out on waste reduction. Dennings serves as Advisor to NewDream.org, one of Earthworms' favorite educational orgs. When Dennigs added a degree in Public Health to her credentials and influence potential, she framed the sort of off-putting Reduce idea of in the human-centered focus of Prevention. Could this be a way to get our species to explore more New Dream's territory? Their motto: More Fun - Less Stuff!   Resources that come up in this Earthworms conversation include New Dream's So Kind Alternative Gift Registry, an E-Z online way to request and give day-of-event help, shared experiences, homemade and secondhand gifts - and more.

Traveling with kids. Definitely not for the faint of heart. But is it really that hard? Mike and Chelsea Denning are here to tell us that it is a lot easier and more enjoyable than one would think. In fact, they have based their lives around traveling with their kids, Coral and Reef, who are two years old and four years old and have travelled to every continent except Antartica with them to find surf. Now Chelsea is pregnant with their newest addition and she is not letting that stop their plans of continued travel abroad.
