Period. Full stop.How abusers hide behind charisma, charm, and a well-timed Bible verse.The horrifying way the legal system often rewards abusers and punishes protective moms.How abuse affects children, even when it's subtle, and especially when it's court-sanctioned.Why your anger is holy fire, not a character defect.How to start healing and parenting differently, even while walking through hell with a diaper bag.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out Dr. Christine Cocchiola's website.Connect with her on Instagram and Facebook.  Read FRAMED: Women in the Family Court Underworld, Dr. Cocchiola's co-authored book. Get her free map called Clinical Implications for Children Who Are Coercively ControlledWatch her recent TED Talk: It's All Coercive ControlChristine M.

Was Joseph Smith a mystic? Searching for the term ‘mysticism' on the Church website yields, “See: False Doctrine, Sorcery, Superstitions; Traditions of Men.” So it's no wonder many church members haven't thought much about mysticism—the role it may have played in Joseph's experience, or how it might inform their own everyday lives or transform their spiritual practices. But poet Kathryn Knight Sonntag describes it differently: “Trusting the groundless ground, trusting that the darkness or the chaos or the unknown place actually is deeply full of knowing and love and purpose. And that it's ultimately the path into apotheosis. It's ultimately where we begin that journey of becoming divine.” In Episode 241, Kathryn joins Susan and Cynthia to explore the concept of mysticism. What might it look like for Latter-day Saints to step off the prescribed map and onto the sacred ground of our own lives in pursuit of personal encounters with God?

700 episodes! What better way than to do this episode with Nancy who has been here with me through all of the seasons and cohosts and guests on the Awesome Marriage podcast. And there is no better topic for us than to talk about how powerful prayer is for your marriage and the daily rhythm of praying together. Nancy initiated praying together on our first night as a married couple and we've kept it going ever since. Not only does it serve to protect our marriage, but it serves to grow us each closer to the Lord and one another. Join us as we talk about the power of a praying couple and how to pursue spiritual growth together.   Episode Highlights: If you feel uncomfortable, start with silent or guided prayers- just start somewhere. Prayer becomes a rhythm that allows you to partner with God. Prayer becomes the glue that helps you withstand the seasons of marriage and life together. Hard times have been some of the biggest seasons of growth individually and in our marriage.   Quotes from Today's Episode: Praying together can feel intimidating at first, but it's not about perfection—it's about inviting God into your story, one honest word at a time. It's hard to pray when you're angry—and hard to stay angry when you start to pray. There is power in the prayer—and even greater power in the One we pray to. When couples choose to consistently pray and grow together, it changes everything—your marriage, your family, and generations to come will be transformed. Let God lead you, one small step at a time. Habits of faith begin with intentional choices. If you miss a day, don't quit. The habit matters more than perfection—keep pursuing God together. There is nothing like drawing close to your spouse in spiritual intimacy—it's a bond deeper than anything else. Take time to talk honestly about where you are spiritually as a couple, without judgment. Then choose just one thing to pursue together.   Couples Conversation Guide: What fears or awkward feelings do we have about praying together, and how could we take a first step to make it a natural part of our relationship? How has our prayer life (or the lack of it) shaped the emotional and spiritual climate of our marriage so far? In what ways can we set spiritual goals together that encourage growth without feeling like a checklist or competition? How can we support each other through seasons of spiritual dryness or difference in faith, and what role can Scripture or prayer rhythms play in that?

She knew he meant it because they had always promised their kids that divorce would never be part of their story. From there, things only got worse.

It seems like the “I need more space” and “I need to talk this out now” partners always find each other! This is the basis of the Pursuer/Withdrawer as well as the Anxious/Avoidant partner dynamics in marriage. When this dynamic happens, it always causes more tension, defensiveness, anxiety, and distance than the initial topic of conversation. If this sounds at all like dynamics you and your partner get into, you certainly are not alone!  In today's episode you will hear more detail about what's really happening for each partner, whether it is the need for space or resolution. There are many factors that contribute to this, like personality type and emotional processing capacity. But tune in to hear about details you would have never thought of, hear more about how this dynamic has played out in our own marriage over the years, and then specific steps you can take to keep this dynamic from escalating simple conversations. This will make you both feel even more secure, understood, and loved in your relationship.

Be realistic. Your marriage will never be perfect. Be encouraged. Your marriage is never beyond hope. Pastor Colin talks about the reason why.

Stephanie welcomes Elizabeth Urbanowitz to discuss how we can equip our children with a biblical understanding of sexuality and gender. Discover the tools you need to disciple your child with purpose and grace! Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design is a thoughtful, timely, and practical resource that will coach you through some of the most foundational conversations you can have with your children. It's more crucial than ever to talk with our children about God's design for sexuality and gender. As our culture's understanding of human identity shifts, Christian parents, grandparents, and mentors are called to be the primary voices shaping the next generation's worldview on these sensitive topics. Ten years ago, few would have imagined discussing sexuality or gender identity with young children. However, today's culture often defines people by their desires and feelings, leading to confusion over what it means to be human. The Christian response is to provide clarity rooted in God's Word—especially around key biblical themes such as being made in God's image (Psalm 139) and understanding redemption through Christ. Elizabeth Urbanowitz emphasizes starting conversations on sexuality and gender with children as young as four or five years old. The earlier parents introduce these topics, the more their children see them as trustworthy “experts” (she calls this the “Founder's Effect”). Just as a child memorizes basic math facts before tackling algebra, simple biblical truths learned early become anchors for discerning truth from cultural messages later in life. Children encounter issues like sexual abuse, pornography, and gender confusion younger than ever. Even adults without children are likely to influence young people as teachers, mentors, or relatives. It's essential to have clear, simple language to explain: Bodies are valuable and designed by God. Private parts deserve protection and privacy. If children disclose uncomfortable experiences, adults should listen, seek understanding, and reinforce these truths with compassion. Elizabeth draws everything back to scripture. The Bible presents God as our Designer, and His design (for our bodies, marriage, sexuality) is the wise and loving blueprint for human flourishing. When addressing hard questions—like same-sex marriage, gender identity, or masturbation—parents are encouraged to reference what God has revealed, not just their opinions. To help children remember key truths, parents can teach simple catechism-like phrases. For example, “Marriage is one man and one woman becoming one flesh for life,” or “God designed us as male or female—God's design is good.” These become invaluable tools when children are confronted with cultural lies. A major point is that kindness doesn't mean agreement. Being compassionate means loving others and telling the truth (not just making them feel good). Children should be taught to respect and care for everyone, including those living differently, without affirming what's unbiblical. For parents of older children or teens, start with prayer, then listen to what they've already learned. Acknowledge any shortcomings, gently offer biblical truths, and focus on building a trusting, ongoing dialogue. God's Word is sufficient for every generation. Parents, family members, and the faith community play vital roles in helping kids navigate a confusing world. Start early, speak simply, root everything in scripture, and model truth with kindness and courage. Take time this week to consider what “building a biblical foundation” practically looks like for the children in your life. What is one conversation you can start, or one phrase you can teach, to prepare them for these challenging but crucial topics? MORE ABOUT “HELPING YOUR KIDS KNOW GOD'S GOOD DESIGN” Discipling Your Child One Conversation at a Time In today's pervasively secular culture, it's more essential than ever to guide your children toward a biblical worldview on all issues―including the complex topics of sexuality and gender. But as a parent, how do you have these discussions in an informed, age-appropriate, and Christ-centered way?  This how-to handbook equips you to talk about sex, gender, and the Bible with children between the ages of 4 and 12 with confidence and nuance. Inside you'll find biblically grounded answers to some of Christian parents' most common questions, including When should I first have the sex talk with my child? How do I explain sexual sin to my child? How do I teach my child to love others without affirming another person's sin? How do I talk with my child about what the Bible teaches about same-sex relationships? How do I handle the fear that I'll have these conversations the wrong way? Discover the tools you need to disciple your child with purpose and grace! Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design is a thoughtful, timely, and practical resource that will coach you through some of the most foundational conversations you can have with your children. MORE ABOUT ELIZABETH URBANOWITZ Elizabeth Urbanowicz is a follower of Jesus Christ who is passionate about equipping kids to understand the truth of the Christian worldview. She holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish, an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth began her professional career as an elementary teacher in a Christian school. Several years into her teaching experience, Elizabeth realized that despite being raised in Christian homes, attending a Christian school, and being active in church, her students thought more like the culture than like Christ. Elizabeth began searching for curricular materials that would equip her students to think critically, helping them discover that Christianity is the worldview that lines up with reality. After not finding any materials that met this need, she began creating a curriculum for her students. Elizabeth first taught Foundation Comparative Worldview Curriculum as an after-school class for third through fifth graders, and the results were incredible! Students were transformed from passive recipients of information to active evaluators of every message they receive. Parents and teachers alike noticed the impact these materials had on students' media consumption, academic achievement, and everyday habits. This transformation lasted beyond the elementary years and guided students' thinking in junior high and beyond. Elizabeth now works full-time on developing comparative worldview and apologetics resources for children. Her goal is to prepare the next generation to be lifelong critical thinkers and, most importantly, lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. https://foundationworldview.com/about/meet-the-founder  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

#292 Today's episode is a little different and a little extra special. Melissa and I just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary, so before the kids woke up, we hit record and reflected on what we've learned about marriage, money, and gratitude. We kept it short, sweet and simple. Just two people talking about what's helped us stay grounded and grow together over the years. Here's what we touched on: Being on the Same Page: Why communication and shared vision matter more than perfection. Melissa shared some tactics we use to stay aligned. Focus: How staying focused on the main thing or goal (even when it's counter-cultural) has shaped our life and finances. Have Fun & Be Grateful: Why money is simply a tool, and how we've learned to enjoy it without taking any of it for granted. We wrap things up by sharing what we're most grateful for about each other. (Fair warning, it gets a little sappy.) Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, we hope this short episode encourages you to align your money with what matters most.

When divorce happens, the focus often centers on women, their stories, their pain, and their healing. And while that's important and necessary, we also have to acknowledge this truth: Men go through it too.They hurt.They question their worth.They wrestle with identity, guilt, and the quiet pressure to keep showing up even when their world feels uncertain.In this episode, I sit down with Jerry Vaval, father of four, career professional, and co-host of The Giant Fundamentals Podcast, for a real and vulnerable conversation about life after divorce from a man's perspective.✨ In this episode, we discuss:How men process pain and identity after divorceHow childhood conditioning influences adult relationshipsWhat true accountability and growth look like for menThe evolving meaning of masculinity, love, and leadershipThis conversation is a reminder that healing doesn't belong to one side of the story. It's about moving past what we think we know and beginning to truly understand what men experience, feel, and carry after divorce.Follow Jerry Vaval  on Instagram: @consult_jvFollow Jerry Vaval on Facebook:  Jerry VavalTo listen to the "The Giant Fundamentals Podcast" on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxays9ks or Apple:  https://tinyurl.com/bdhdxepf **SCHEDULE YOUR 90-MINUTE INTENSIVE BELOW** ⬇️https://www.tonyacarter.com/strategyOrder my book: "Divorce Your Story: A Woman's Guide to Heal & Thrive After Divorce" - http://www.divorceyourstorybook.com.

Segment 1 • Dr. Andrew Walker calls the breakdown of the family the defining moral crisis of our time. • Marriage decline fuels social chaos—poverty, instability, and moral confusion. • God's design for marriage and family is not arbitrary—it's the foundation of ordered liberty and human flourishing. Segment 2 • Natural law exposes that everyone already knows right from wrong—it's written on our hearts. • Even secular thinkers are waking up: moral order only works if it's built on God's image of man. • From gender ideology to justice systems, every moral crisis goes back to rejecting Genesis 1. Segment 3 • A “Christian nation” without conversion is just moral window dressing. • True change comes through evangelism, not state-enforced religion. • Romans 13 defines government's limits—protect order, not dictate theology. Segment 4 • The Bible gives the state a sword, not a soul: maintain justice, don't play savior. • Big government creates dependency; strong churches create stability. • Christians should champion a small-state, big-church vision—pray for rulers, evangelize freely, live humbly. ___ Thanks for listening!

200  I have developed a habit of forgiveness over the years in my marriage. And today I want to tell you about it and why it has saved my marriage–and my own heart– over and over.  Forgiveness is so easily misunderstood. I share about how I was confused about it, too, and how, in the past, this led to stopping myself from forgiving things my husband has done that felt hurtful to me. But, luckily, I figured out how to move past that, and I learned how to really forgive. (And to be clear, this did NOT mean I let him walk all over me or keep doing hurtful things. In fact, it is because I have learned to forgive so well that he is NOT doing hurtful things nearly as much!)I want you to hear my story, because I think you may be inspired and also surprised by how much developing this habit of forgiveness has done for me, for my husband, and for our marriage. It has even allowed my husband to become a better, and better, husband over time. So listen in to learn what it took me, why it's made such a tremendous difference in our lives together, and how you can also develop this healing, connecting habit of forgiveness, for the sake of your own heart, and your own marriage.SHOW NOTESJoin the Master Class: FREE YOUR HEART FOR MORE LOVE; GETTING PAST BLAME, RESENTMENT, AND GRIEVANCE.

This week, I want to share an experience from a couples' weekend immersion I led.Watching a marriage transform over just a few days reminded me why I do this work.One person can absolutely create change in a relationship.When you show up differently, your partner responds differently, and a new dynamic emerges. This couple came in scared, angry, and on the brink of divorce.By the end of day one, they began seeing each other's differences as strengths.By day three, they had a connected, loving marriage and a plan to maintain it.It's amazing what happens when both people commit, use the tools consistently, and make an intentional investment in their relationship.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.
