In which Ethan and Jo catch up and begin to analyze the potential of one of Jo's congregations. Curious about the analysis? A great place to start is with the Good Friday Collaborative's blog post, "Is Your Congregation Spiritually and Emotionally Strong?" Looking for that interview with Diane Kenaston, one of the Good Friday Collaborative's collaborators? It's called Completing Ministry/The Stained Glass Cliff.

Become Emotionally Strong This episode continues our Strength Series by focusing on emotional strength. So many moms live in a cycle of reacting, snapping, numbing, or shutting down — then feeling guilty afterward. If this is you, it's not because you're doing something wrong, it's because you were never taught how to feel your emotions. In this episode, I talk through what emotional strength actually is, why it matters so much in motherhood, and how it's built through awareness and practice. I'll share: The difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood, and how it shows up in daily motherhood Why discomfort isn't a problem to fix, but information to listen to How emotionally strong moms stop giving their power away to circumstances, other people, or “shoulds” and what that looks like in daily life. Learning how to process emotions changes how you move through life — not by controlling what happens, but by strengthening how you respond.

What’s the hardest part of parenting for you? Do you think kids today are more anxious than before? Today, Jay sits down with Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, best-selling author, and founder of Good Inside, a global parenting and mental health platform. Named the “Millennial Parent Whisperer” by Time, Dr. Becky is known for her compassionate, practical approach to raising emotionally healthy children while maintaining strong, sturdy leadership as a parent. In this eye-opening conversation, Jay and Dr. Becky explore why modern parenting often swings between dismissing children’s emotions and letting them call the shots, sharing practical ways to find the balance in between. Dr. Becky shares why parenting is a skill you can actually learn, the surprising power of repairing after conflict, and how boundaries and validation work together to help kids feel safe, understood, and supported. Dr. Becky shares how to shift your mindset from “my kid is giving me a hard time” to “my kid is having a hard time,” creating a more compassionate approach to conflict and connection. She explains why constantly optimizing for happiness for your kids can actually create anxiety later in life, why letting kids struggle is key to building resilience, and how to release the heavy burden of “mom guilt” by recognizing which emotions are yours to carry and which belong to your child. In this interview, you’ll learn: How to Repair After Rupture and Strengthen Connection How to Set Boundaries Without Power Struggles How to Validate Feelings Without Over-Coddling How to Build Capable and Resilient Kids Why Not All “Mom Guilt” is Actually Guilt How to Balance Empathy with Leadership as a Parent Parenting isn’t about getting it perfect. It’s about showing up, repairing when things go wrong, and modeling the emotional skills you want your children to have. As Dr. Becky reminds us, the most powerful thing you can give your kids is the confidence to face life’s challenges knowing they are both safe and valid.

Almost everything you've learned about emotional “strength” is not only a flat-out lie, but completely backwards. Toughing it out, staying in control, never letting others see you sweat - these aren't signs of emotional strength, but emotional blindness.  And emotional blindness comes with a steep cost that nobody deserves to pay: It leaves you empty, unfulfilled (even after milestone achievements), and depressed.  Why?  Because the old way of being emotionally strong is really fear in disguise. And fear is the ultimate mind-killer.  That's the bad news.  The good news? Once you realize that emotions are not distractions and are, in fact, the very point of life itself, then you can approach emotional regulation like the skill it is. And skills can be mastered - as long as you're open to the idea.  In today's show, besides debunking the outdated emotional strength myth, you'll also discover the true cost of emotional blindness and how to reconnect with your emotional world before it's too late.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: A brutal, real-life story that shows you the devastating cost of emotional blindness (and how it almost cost me my life) (1:37)  How “toughing out” your negative emotions eviscerates your joy, your relationships, and even your ability to love and be loved (6:52)  3 telltale nervous system signs that happen when you receive a snarky text that will tell you whether you're actually emotionally strong… or just emotionally blind (9:21)  The “Emotional Regulation” technique used by the world's most elite athletes that regulates your emotional system instead of being hijacked by it (11:19)  Why thinking of your emotions as distractions is the quickest way to feel so hollow that nothing can fill the void (not even career success, marriage, or becoming a millionaire) (17:27)  The underlying emotional reason behind why you micromanage your team (and how to address your emotions before your entire team quits) (23:27)  The simple, yet difficult 3-step process to finally stop reacting to and running away from your emotions (it will take time and patience, but nothing you achieve in life will be as meaningful as mastering this) (24:40)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/    Want more success in leadership, deeper connections, or a greater sense of fulfillment?

In this episode, I'm calling you out and lifting you up. We're tackling one of the biggest challenges that silently destroys relationships, careers, and your own peace of mind—emotional immaturity. I'm sharing real talk about how anger, resentment, and emotional triggers keep you locked in a race to the bottom—and why true strength is found in staying composed, kind, and centered no matter what chaos comes your way. You'll hear the hard truths I've had to learn myself, including why it's not just about the other person's behavior but about how you choose to respond. I'll walk you through how to recognize when you're being pulled into someone else's emotional home of fear, anger, or anxiety—and how to stay firmly planted in your own home of peace, joy, and faith. We get into why true emotional maturity isn't about winning arguments or proving your point—it's about refusing to let anyone else control your emotions. And I'll give you the questions you need to ask yourself to check if your reactions are pulling you closer to your highest self—or dragging you further away. Don't spend another second living in somebody else's emotional chaos. Your minutes are precious. Your peace is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: Why racing to the bottom in anger or frustration only makes you the loser How to stay emotionally mature when others around you lose control The truth about emotional homes—and why you have to guard yours fiercely How to confront toxic patterns with calm strength instead of retaliation Questions to evaluate whether your reactions bring you closer to your goals and your faith You are not here to live in chaos. You are here to live in peace, in power, and in purpose. Don't race to the bottom with people who are hurting—race to the top and stay there. Share this with someone you know who needs it, and remember: the most intelligent version of you is calm, composed, and in complete control. God bless you. Max out.

Our culture teaches kids to be fragile. I'm here to show you how to do the opposite. If you want strong, confident, emotionally stable kids who don't crumble at every slight, you need to raise them differently — and it starts with you. In this episode, I break down: ⚡ How to move past endless pity parties and teach real accountability. ⚡ Why endless empathy backfires — and what your child actually needs. ⚡ The 2 questions every child must ask when insulted (game changer). ⚡ How to teach your kids to laugh, let go, and stay cool under fire. Fragile kids grow into fragile adults. Let's not let that happen. Let's raise humans who are unshakable, unvictimized, and unstoppable.

In this episode of teaching children resilience, Harriett talks about emotional resilience and how it is not about suppressing feelings.  Instead, it's about learning how to navigate emotions in a healthy, faith-filled way.

In this episode I teach what are emotions, what does it mean to become emotionally strong and how you can become emotionally strong to stay focused in life.I hope you enjoy the episode.

Nashville-based counselor David Thomas is no stranger to the Rooted Parent Podcast: he hosted the entire first season, All About Boys. For this special episode, David is back, sharing with us about his newest book, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys: Tools Your Son Can Build On for Life. For anyone who raises or mentors boys, David offers excellent insight on several important topics. To name a few:- teaching the three R's: recognize, regulate, repair- helping boys manage and channel the physicality of their emotions- the trap of numbing emotions, particularly through gaming and social media- how to help a boy who's "stuck"- teaching boys to regulate their own emotions, rather than "anchoring" with an adult- the comfort and hope parents can find in praying the Serenity Prayer

"It's never too late. You can pick up right where you are". Great advice from today's guest. I am so excited to be interviewing David Thomas, the author of Raising Emotionally Strong Boys: Tools Your Son Can Build On for Life. There is no greater time to start than right now. Make sure the males in your life are being given the tools they need to understand what strength looks like. It is okay to narrate your experiences as a parent, an adult, and even as a human to your children. We cover a lot in such a short time, so make sure you are ready to take down some notes. In This Episode [00:34] - Welcome to another episode of The Crystal Paine Show. [01:24] - I ask David to introduce himself to you. [03:15] - Is this something that you always saw yourself doing? Was this your dream job? [05:34] - Since you've been doing this for a long time, have you seen a shift in what parents are struggling with and what teens are struggling with? [06:38] - Do you feel like there is a reason for that? What's at the root of that? [08:52] - A while back, you were asked to write about raising worry-free boys. And you chose not to do it. I'd love for you to explain why. [11:31] - When boys come up against the discomfort of life that you and I know is just a part of being a human. [13:09] - I'd love for you to define "emotionally strong". [15:43] - We want to raise emotionally strong boys. How do we go about that? [19:42] - I share a quote from the book. [20:09] - How do we, as parents, set that example for our kids when we're just feeling so frustrated? [23:46] - Moms often feel like "if I admit to my child that I don't have it all figured out, I'm somehow failing them". I share a story from my childhood. [27:42] - I would love for you to speak to that mom right now. She is feeling like it's too much, it's too overwhelming. She feels she doesn't have what it takes. She doesn't know what to do with her child. [31:36] - There are so many tools in this book, not just tools for your son, tools for you as well.

Hey, hey! Welcome back to the show! Today's episode will be so helpful to anyone who has a boy in their life that they care about deeply.  David Thomas joins me today to talk about raising emotionally strong boys. He's spent 25 years counseling boys and young men. After all, we live in a world that often bombards our boys with messages like “don't feel” or “don't ask for help.” Both are harmful messages and, unfortunately, ones that many of them absorb throughout their lifetimes.  Listen in as David and I discuss how we can best communicate with the boys (and even the men) in our lives, along with practical ways to help them develop new vocabulary and skills that will better serve them over time.  As the mom of five boys, you know I listened closely to David's advice in this episode, my friends. Such wisdom! David is the director of Family Counseling at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville, Tennessee. He has co-authored ten books, including his two latest titles, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys and Strong and Smart: A Boy's Guide to Building Healthy Emotions.  Listen in to learn more about: What causes boys to instinctively begin to channel all primary emotions (fear, sadness, confusion, disappointment) into anger around ages 9-10 Some red flags may indicate the boys in our lives are struggling emotionally and how we can help them recognize, regulate, and repair those emotions How Jesus is the perfect example of healthy masculinity Favorite quotes: ~Boys tend to have a less expansive emotional vocabulary which makes us think they have fewer emotions. ~Somewhere around  9 to 10 boys instinctively begin  to channel all emotions fear, sadness, confusion and disappointment into one emotion and that is anger. ~Having side by side conversations rather than eye to eye. Even shame registers differently for us as males and too much eye to eye ,where  females can experience intimacy and connection, we males experience shame and  threat in that.  ~Anger is a secondary emotion; there is always something going on beneath.  ~This evidence that Jesus felt all the things we are going to feel and had an emotional  presence and strength in the midst of it. He also was a man who walked in intimate close relationships with a handful  of men.

Boys… whatcha gonna do with them? Just kidding.    But they really are unique creatures and if you're raising one or more, you know that finding ways to help them communicate and express their feelings in a healthy way can be challenging.    David Thomas is a Pardon the Mess favorite, and he's with us today discussing the importance of raising emotionally strong boys.

DR. MEG WITH GUEST DAVID THOMAS (Part 1)Boys need to be coached in the hard work of building emotional muscles. For many boys, the muscles are simply weak or underdeveloped. But weak muscles can get stronger with work. Building emotional muscles is some of the most important, yet most neglected, work in a boy's journey to manhood. Impacting his everyday life as a son, brother, student, athlete, and friend, these muscles will define who he will become as a husband, father, friend and coworker. Guest David Thomas shares in simple yet profound detail how boys can develop the 3 R's (Recognize, Regulate & Repair) -- Much like a car's dashboard, they can pay attention to emotional signals that come along, and how the proper response can keep them from facing further damage down the road. BREAK DR. MEG WITH GUEST DAVID THOMAS (Part 2)Helping boys find their way to the full experience of being human and being fully masculine is what guest David Thomas is aiming for in all his work. Dr. Meg and David Thomas continue their candid conversation, discussing topics such as:·   What is the value of allowing your son to feel discomfort?·   Do violent video games have an effect on the emotions and actions of a boy?·   How does technology affect boys?·   The connection between “healthy risk” and why boys seem to be less passionate about masculine things than in the past generations Follow David Thomas on Facebook and Instagram @raisingboysandgirls and find his latest parenting resources at raisingboysandgirls.com. FROM THE PRODUCERThanks for listening to Episode #170, Raising Emotionally Strong Boys, and for helping Dr. Meg's parenting revolution reach more than SEVEN MILLION downloads!

I am so happy to welcome my friend, David Thomas, to the show again. He's been a regular on the show and we co-hosted the first two seasons of the Raising Boys & Girls podcast together along with our friend, Sissy Goff. David is the director of family counseling at Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville, TN and is the author of 10 books. Today, we are talking about his latest books—Raising Emotionally Strong Boys and the workbook for kids titled Strong and Smart.   He brings his 25 years of practice to the table. We start by talking about what it looks like to be emotionally strong—redefining what masculine strength is. Then, we talk about what to do when you as the mom are clued in to help, but what do you do if the father isn't interested. We talk about what to do when all emotions are channeled as anger. And lastly we talk about how summer is a great time to work on these things. Per usual, David brings a wealth of help to us so pull up a chair and join the conversation.   Order Sarah's book, A Mother's Guide to Raising Herself: What Parenting Taught Me About Life, Faith and Myself   Sign up for Sarah's monthly Survival Kit Newsletter   Connect with Sarah: Website | Instagram

When it comes to understanding boys, David Thomas is someone I have learned so much from. With over 25 years of counseling experience, and having co-authored multiple books, David has a heart for helping boys build the “emotional muscles” that are an essential, yet often-neglected part of a boy's journey to manhood.  Today we get to talk about the practical help he offers parents in his brand-new book, “Raising Emotionally Strong Boys”, and in the companion guide (for boys) “Strong and Smart: A Boy's Guide to Building Healthy Emotions”. In today's interview, David defines “emotional healthiness”, and explains why emotions can be difficult for boys to communicate about. He talks about the “3 R's” that can help boys respond to stress, and so much more!  I appreciate David's compassionate and practical help so much, and I think all parents will benefit from what he shares! www.monicaswanson.com/episode-162 Podcast page (for all episodes) www.monicaswanson.com/podcast * Be sure to check out the Character Training Course's SUMMER SALE beginning (today!)

In today's episode of the Dad Tired podcast, host Jerrad Lopes sits down with author and counselor David Thomas (LMSW) to talk about what it looks like to raise emotionally healthy children.

Our sons are constantly receiving messages about how to handle their emotions - from us as moms and dads, or from other men in their lives and from our culture as well. All too often that message has been “Be strong, emotion other than anger only shows weakness” and this to their detriment. Anxiety and depression are rapidly on the rise and our boys are not immune.  We need our boys to grow into men who are strong of character and a beautiful, if undervalued, aspect of that is helping them learn how to name and process their emotions. This can be difficult to do as a grown up - imagine how your child experiences this and the training they need!  Counselor and author David Thomas works regularly with boys and their families to help them put his three R's of emotional processing into practice - recognize, regulate, and repair. Listen as he walks us through the importance of these practices and how they can set our sons up for lifelong emotional health.
