Between carpools, work meetings, and bedtime routines, it's easy to drift into survival mode instead of partnership mode.This week on the High Five Motherhood Podcast, we're diving into one of the most life-giving weekly habits you can create in your marriage — the Couples Council.This is your weekly “sync session” with your spouse, where you connect emotionally, plan practically, and align spiritually before stepping into the new week together.Inside this episode, you'll learn:✨ Why weekly Couples Councils help strengthen your home and marriage✨ The key topics to cover — from schedules to connection✨ How to host your own Couples Council (even if your spouse isn't a “planner”)✨ Why preparation is what turns frustration into peace✨ How a short 20-minute chat can bring lasting unity, clarity, and calm to your marriage and familyWhen you and your spouse lead together in unity, your family feels it.

In one of the most emotional and powerful episodes of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jason Comer, a husband, father of five, and living testimony of how God's grace can turn devastation into destiny.   Jason's life is a raw reflection of brokenness, rebellion, incarceration, relapse, forgiveness, and divine restoration. This episode traces his complete journey—from a troubled childhood and early substance use, to meth addiction, prison, family separation, and the miraculous road back to sobriety, faith, and fatherhood.   Through tears, laughter, and hard truths, Jason opens up about what it means to be a man redeemed. He shares how Hope City Church, mentorship, and a community of believers gave him the spiritual and emotional tools he never had growing up. His story reveals the brutal reality of addiction—but more importantly, the beauty of God's redemption story when we finally stop running.   This is more than a story about getting sober. It's a story about becoming whole, about how God can take the pieces of a shattered life and build something new—something strong enough to lead a family, raise kids with love, and inspire others to believe that no matter how dark the pit, there is always a way out.   If you're a parent fighting your own battles, a man seeking purpose, or someone walking through the ashes of addiction or shame—this episode will meet you right where you are.   ⸻  

Can a machine love a child the way a parent does? Kelly introduces a special GOTO series exploring one of the most unsettling questions of our time: as AI becomes more capable, what is a parent actually for? After curating a session at TED 2025 on parenting and technology, Kelly shares an episode she hosted of TED Talks Daily featuring her own TED Talk about the unglamorous, unmeasurable bravery required in family life—the kind that happens when someone says "tell me more" instead of trying to fix everything. Then she takes us behind the scenes of her work with six speakers who helped her wrestle with whether AI could ever replace the messy, imperfect, irreplaceable work of raising a human. From technologists who insist AI could breastfeed better than humans to psychologists warning about developing intolerance for real people's limitations, this conversation looks at what we might lose if we optimize away all the friction and failure that actually shapes us.

How a Family Life Educator Took Her Marriage from Good to Great: Jen's Story Sometimes, the couples who join our programs aren't on the brink of divorce. They aren't fighting all the time. They actually have a good marriage. But deep down, they know it could be better. That's exactly where Jen was when she found Delight Your Marriage. “We Had a Good Marriage… But I Knew It Could Be More” Jen and her husband had been married nearly 15 years. They had three young kids, a busy life, and no major marital crisis. As she put it, “We were not in conflict with each other. We didn't have any major issues that we were dealing with from our past. You know, no unfaithfulness, nothing like that.” Still, something inside her longed for more. She said to us, “I think the thing that drove me into it was knowing that our marriage was good, but understanding or having this feeling that it could be better.” She remembered a pastor that had mentioned Delight Your Marriage to her and from there, took the leap of faith to schedule a Clarity Call. And what she discovered surprised her. Through honest reflection and intentional questions, she realized that while her marriage looked peaceful from the outside, her heart was carrying something deeper: resentment. She had no idea that this resentment had snuck into her heart, but once she saw it, she was set on rooting it out. When Self-Pity Sneaks Into a Good Marriage Not only did Jen identify resentment in her heart, but she discovered she had also been carrying self-pity. In listening to an episode of the podcast on self-pity before joining the program, she realized the topic was actually hitting her heart. [For those interested: https://delightyourmarriage.com/393-the-sin-of-self-pity-aka-pride/] In that moment, God started something new. Through the program, Jen learned to let go of resentment and embrace gratitude. She began to see her husband not as someone who wasn't “doing enough,” but as a man faithfully serving and providing for their family. That simple—but powerful—shift changed everything. The Power of Peace in a Great Marriage As Jen walked through the program, she noticed a transformation in herself. Through the "heart" work, she found that her soul was also being renewed and that God was was reworking things her heart she didn't even know where there. And the result of that heart change? Peace. With Jen getting rid of the resentment, putting aside the self-pity, and bringing in appreciation, compliments, and admiration- it changed the atmosphere of their homes. Jen's husband even came home one evening during his busiest season, wrapped her in a hug, and said, “Thank you. I've noticed how much more peaceful our home has been.” She hadn't been trying to get him to notice—but he did. What she considered a small change was actually impactful. “It was a change enough that he felt it too” How God Turns a Good Marriage Into a Great One When we allow God to transform us, our marriage begins to shift. Jen said, “Our connection as a result of, I think just the peacefulness in the home and between us and our gratefulness for each other has brought us closer together in intimacy…” Yes, even their physical intimacy changed! Before the program, intimacy was about once a week. Now? “Two or three times,” she said, smiling. And not only has the frequency been upped, but they are enjoying each other more (a major win!) And it wasn't a formula or manipulation—it was the result of a softened heart. A Christ-Centered Model for Marriage Transformation As a former family life educator in her church, Jen had led marriage classes before. So she was skeptical—could DYM really offer something new? After completing the program, she said, “I haven't encountered anything as beneficial, and that actually works as well, as what DYM does. And I think a huge part of that is because of, well, the commitment to Scripture and actually putting it into practice.” Jen's favorite part? The women's small group. “A place that's safe, encouraging, and honest,” she said. “We prayed for each other, celebrated each other's wins, and shared struggles without fear of judgment. I've never experienced community like that.” There's Always More God Wants to Do in Your Marriage When asked what she'd tell another wife who has a good marriage but knows there's more, Jen didn't hesitate: “I think I would just say...wherever you are in your marriage, if you think there's room for growth, then there's probably room for growth. So go after it, go after it, go after it...I would, for sure say, do it with DYM, because I think it's... I think it's a powerful, powerful program.” Jen's words remind us that “good” isn't the goal. God desires great marriages—ones marked by peace, gratitude, and deep connection. Wherever your marriage is at: whether you're separated and not speaking or in a good place but wanting just a little more, we know that God is still working and He can change things for good.   With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - Ready to take the leap of faith and make that Clarity Call?

PPPS - Here's is what (another) recent graduate has to say about our program: "Coming in, I knew my wife felt that I was unsafe for her, and that she felt alone and unknown by me. On my end, I felt deeply regretful of marrying her, angry with her, and hopeless to ever have a joyful marriage... [Now] I've seen progress in almost every area. I have grown in my own perspective on my wife. This has stunned me, and given me more hope than I've ever felt...I sincerely have a delight toward her that I've not felt in over a decade."

Family Life Pt.2

In this real-talk episode, Josh and Joelle unpack what it actually looks like to prioritize health and fitness while raising a family. From sleepless nights and shifting morning routines to the emotional weight of parenting decisions, they explore the messy middle where most parents live — and how to keep showing up anyway. You'll hear honest strategies for navigating postpartum recovery, choosing sleep over workouts (or not), dealing with stress, and deciding when — and if — you're truly ready for kids. They also dive into listener questions around sugar-free diets, cardio timing, and how to build a sustainable routine that flexes with your life. If you've ever felt like you're constantly adjusting, recalibrating, or starting over — this episode is for you. Because it's not about doing it all. It's about doing what matters — consistently, imperfectly, and in a way that actually fits your life.

We open up about the hidden pressures that come with trying to do it all — in relationships, parenting, and personal growth. From ego and pride to the guilt of asking for help, we talk about what it really means to carry the weight of everyone else while losing sight of yourself. We also touch on identity, ambition, burnout, and the quiet ways people disconnect even while trying to hold everything together. It's a raw look at love, balance, and the cost of always being “strong.”

I heard Stefan talk about his own a few times, and thought he might be able to help."Also, although I'm in my mid-40s, I only recently came to understand how badly, in some respects, my parents neglected me as a child, and I'm trying to figure out how to come to terms with that, and especially how to do better with my own children, whom I fear, lacking a better example, I'm doing the same with."To be more specific, growing up, my parents didn't really give me any advice or instruction about things like making friends, girls, building a career, almost anything.

In this powerful episode, we challenge the modern myth that “good parenting” means self-sacrifice at all costs. Instead, we explore what it really takes to show up strong for your family — starting with how you lead yourself. From the societal pressure to “do it all” to the quiet burnout no one talks about, we unpack how ignoring your own needs doesn't make you a better parent — it makes it harder to be the present, grounded leader your kids actually need. We redefine self-care as self-leadership and break down the mindset shifts, personal responsibility, and daily actions that help you parent from a place of strength — not survival. If you've ever felt guilty for wanting more time, more space, or more growth… this conversation will give you permission to take it — and a plan to model a healthier path for your family. Because your kids don't need a perfect parent. They need one who's fully alive.

What if the biggest barrier to gender equality isn't who does the dishes, but who has to remember the dishes need doing?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, host Erica Rooney sits down with Allison Daminger, a groundbreaking sociologist and author of What's On Her Mind: The Mental Workload of Family Life. Allison's viral research shines a light on the mental load—the planning, anticipating, and managing of all the things—that disproportionately falls on women.Join them as they dissect why even in "woke" partnerships with hands-on dads, women's brains never get to turn off. Allison reveals the societal structures and deep-seated norms that keep this imbalance sticky and, crucially, how we can start an honest, constructive conversation to create a more equitable home life.Inside the Episode:Defining the Invisible Labor: The difference between the physical execution of a chore and the taxing mental work of planning and anticipating that precedes it.The "Nothing" Response: Erica shares a powerful personal anecdote of asking her husband what he was thinking about, only to receive the one-word answer that perfectly summed up the mental load gap.The Next Frontier of Equality: Why sharing the mental load is the final, sticky frontier in achieving true gender parity, even as men do more physical labor than previous generations.The Policy Problem: Erica and Allison connect the mental load directly to the lack of paid parental leave in the US, arguing that early exposure to a child's needs is key to long-term equity.Superhumans vs. Bumblers: Allison's favorite part of her research, revealing why women are overwhelmingly perceived as the "superhumans" (naturally organized) and men as the "bumblers" (go-with-the-flow)—and why this is a harmful myth.The Truth About Changing Roles: Insights into how the mental load impacts women's career progression, and why couples with higher-earning women still often see the woman carrying the mental burden.The Unjudged Reality: A liberating conclusion: it's okay if changing the load is too much work, as long as you're clear-eyed and okay with the current arrangement.If you've ever felt deeply frustrated by having to manage all the things for your family, this episode will make you feel seen, validated, and equipped to start the conversation you need to have.

By Jim Moody - Family life in this country and in the world is not what God intended. The coming Kingdom of God is God's restoration of what families were meant to be. This message will explore what the Scriptures reveal about family life in the Millennium.

How do we live out biblical values, boldly, in the church and in our homes? And how do we know if we're offending someone with the truth or with the way we talk and behave? Tune in as we explore some important questions about boldness for Christians, and also finally put the discussion on "fig newtons" to rest.

Organize October happening now: simplyconvivial.com/october | Calendars only work if they're kept accurate—and in real life, that takes iteration and flexibility. In this Simply Convivial podcast episode, Mystie Winckler talks with Convivial Circle mentor member Michelle Arencebia about how she keeps calendars updated in busy family life.Michelle shares how linking calendars with her husband and adult children cut down on confusion, why she enters events right on her phone the moment she hears about them, and how she uses weekly dashboards and interval calendars to keep the bigger picture in view.We also talk about:What to do when other people don't update the shared calendarHow vocation shapes what belongs on the calendarWhy iteration matters more than the “perfect” planner systemUsing alignment cards as quick reminders when life doesn't go to planWhether you use Google Calendar, a wall calendar, or a printable dashboard, the point is to keep it simple, stay cheerful, and keep adjusting.

Are you afraid to give something up—even if you know it's holding your family back?What if the “sacrifice” you're resisting is the exact bridge to the life you actually want?In this powerful conversation, Greg and Rachel answer a listener's question inspired by James Allen: “He who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” They share the real sacrifices they made to build an extraordinary family life—from walking away from comfort and conformity to investing tens of thousands into personal growth, ditching entertainment for education, and choosing experiences and character over stuff. You'll learn how to overcome the fear of loss, handle others' opinions, and trade short-term ease for long-term joy, health, and purpose.Big idea: It's hard to call it a “sacrifice” when what you get back is better than what you gave up. Bottom line: The most important investment you'll ever make is in yourself—and then in your spouse and kids.Key Takeaways:✅ Comfort is costly—trade it for purpose, health, and momentum.✅ Invest in yourself first, then your spouse and kids.✅ Entertainment steals growth; education multiplies it.✅ Ditch “peacock pageantry”—results beat credentials.✅ Own your outcomes—no blame, no excuses.✅ Failure ≠ final—it's fertilizer for your future.Chapters00:00 Daily Sacrifices for a Better Life23:14 Intentional Living and Personal Responsibility28:39 The Rewards of Sacrifice31:27 EFL YouTube Outro Full Updated.mp4Memorable Quotes

Summary What if the "practical" parenting strategies you're searching for require something deeper first - the liberation of your own mind? In this episode, Janet and Doug explore the third instrument of formation: LIFE - the intentional pursuit and savoring of ideas that are good, true, and beautiful. Drawing on research about manufactured mental captivity and personal stories about breaking generational cycles, they reveal why parents can't create relational safety for their children while their own minds remain captured by anxiety-producing information systems. This isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you, and learning to choose which ones and toward what end. Janet and Doug discuss: The Operating System You Didn't Choose We inherit operating systems from our family of origin - either developing trust relationships in grace environments, or adapting through pseudo-connection to meet unmet needs Both love and sin are processes of meeting needs - the difference is the source Our bodies create efficient neural pathways to whatever meets our needs, whether healthy or unhealthy As children, we can't do what we've never seen The Effort of Decision Once you've agreed with God that truth sets you free (John 8:32), you stop wasting energy choosing between old coping strategies and new life When you live through struggle with the integrity of being connected to God and your true self, you want MORE of that joy Experiencing freedom improves your vision - mental decluttering becomes celebration rather than chore Convictions made in advance make daily choices easier (example: choosing reading season over streaming) Manufactured Mental Captivity Research shows psychological knowledge is being weaponized to keep minds "enslaved to consuming, conflict and outrage" This manufactured mental chaos pushes people into survival mode (threat detection) and striving mode (performance anxiety) Parents can't create relational safety for children while their own minds are captured Mental illness often emerges when pain and performance goals collide The Three Questions Framework What am I absorbing without choosing it? (information diet, social media, news cycles) What am I intentionally seeking? (difference between consuming content and savoring ideas) What am I savoring that puts gas in my tank? (beauty, goodness, truth as fuel not luxury) This Week's Experiments: Mental Diet Audit Track for 3 days what ideas you're absorbing Notice how your body feels after different inputs Create awareness, not shame One Intentional Choice Pick one good/true/beautiful thing to seek daily Could be: one poem, one chapter, one worship song, time in nature Focus on intentionality, not perfection Notice the Difference Pay attention to your nervous system throughout the day Do you feel more grounded or more anxious? How does it affect your capacity for your family? Remember: The instrument of LIFE isn't about adding more to your overwhelmed schedule - it's about recognizing that ideas are already forming you. The question is: which ideas, and toward what end?

On this episode of RNT Fitness Radio, I'm joined by Sumit Pal, who in the last 12 months at RNT has absolutely crushed it with his health, fitness, and overall lifestyle change. Sumit is over 20 kilos down now. One of his drivers when he first started was to have the energy and vitality to be at his absolute best as a dad and to help instil long-term lifestyle habits with the family. He's not only accomplished those two, he's also hit his third goal which was to improve his performance on the cricket pitch. As a recreational cricketer, he's gone from playing in the over 40s to now knocking it about with the 20 year olds. Sumit travels for work pretty much every 2-4 weeks to the States and all over, so despite changing time zones and constantly different environments, he's managed to stay on track and absolutely nailed the process. This is a great example of what happens when you go all in on your transformation.

When your pelvic floor let's you down, it can be easy to reach for your phone to find a kegel gadget or app that will fix it .. but, do we really need another gadget to tell us how our pelvic floor is doing?After an interesting conversation with a colleague, I'm breaking down the rise of pelvic floor tech — from kegel trainers to biofeedback devices — and asking a deeper question: what if the real solution isn't in the tech, but in your own connection with your body?While these devices can have their place, I'm ask you to press pause and consider this:✨ Your body already holds the wisdom (yes, it really does!).✨ You don't need a gadget to earn your connection back (it will only cost money and gather dust).✨ Trust, awareness, and consistency matter more than clever apps and expensive kits.This is a light-hearted but deeply empowering episode for any woman who's ever felt like her body is broken, disconnected, or needs ‘fixing.'

This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on athletics by welcoming Fr. Burke Masters, the baseball priest, and Trevor Williams, the Washington Nationals pitcher, to the show! Together they discuss finding your identity in Christ when your job is about performing well, evangelizing as a professional athlete, and how sports can aid you in becoming a better Christian. Fr. Burke and Trevor also share how God led them to athletics, the story of how they met, and play a fun game with Jake and Bob at the end of the episode.   Key Points: Even when our jobs demand we perform well, our core identity is as beloved children of God, not in what we do or achieve. True humility is revealed in how we respond both to success and to failure, not just in our losses.   Integrating faith and sports means living out Christian values and witness in every context, not separating religious life from professional or competitive arenas.   Authentic evangelization often emerges through genuine relationships, presence, and consistency of character, more than through words alone.   Practice, discipline, and perseverance in sports mirror the virtues needed in the spiritual life.   The tension between ambition and surrender is navigated by directing all striving and success toward God's glory rather than personal gain.   Regular self-examination and reflection help transform both athletic and spiritual setbacks into opportunities for growth.   Balancing vocations—such as career and family—requires intentional boundaries and prioritization of what truly matters.     Resources: Grand Slam for God (or on Amazon) Fr.

Davon Eldemire grew up in the hood in Bridgeport, Connecticut with no father in the picture, raised by his mom and sisters as the only boy in the house. He had a passion for basketball but eventually got consumed by the street life, giving up his dream. That path led to a robbery where he shot someone and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In this interview, Davon opens up about what it was like growing up without a father, how the streets pulled him in, and the moment that changed everything and landed him in prison. He shares what the years behind bars taught him about life, the mindset shift that turned his sentence into an opportunity, and how he is now using his experience to mentor the youth and keep them from going down the same path. #RaisedInTheHood #PrisonStories #LockedInPodcast #StreetLife #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #lifeafterprison Thank you to BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.
