What changes as we get older? Maybe it's less about becoming a completely different person and more about getting clearer on what actually deserves our time.In this Sunday episode of Casa DeConfidence, Julie and Dan are back at the microphones for one of their candid conversations about marriage, midlife, getting older, changing priorities, and creating a life you actually enjoy.It starts, as many Casa conversations do, somewhere unexpected: Julie announces a new bucket-list dream of taking on the Mongol Rally, a wild, choose-your-own-adventure journey across thousands of miles. That leads Dan to ask a bigger question: What mattered to us in our 20s that doesn't matter nearly as much now?And what have we learned along the way?Dan shares something he wishes he had understood sooner: in his 20s, he didn't fully understand the power of saying no. Later, he had to learn the power of saying yes. Now, in midlife, he recognizes that a good life requires both.Julie and Dan talk about what it means to trust yourself enough to make your own decisions, how our priorities shift as we age, why some opportunities are worth saying yes to, and why we don't have to do everything ourselves.They also get into the very real stuff of everyday life: simplifying dinner when life gets busy, Julie's upcoming trip to Key West for the annual Jimmy Buffett celebration, adventures with their three senior dogs, the never-ending bathroom remodel, and why sometimes the best decision you can make is eating pizza outside on a beautiful New England evening.Because some things in life are fleeting.Maybe living confidently isn't always about chasing the next accomplishment. Sometimes it's knowing what matters, saying no to what doesn't, saying yes to what does, and giving yourself permission to enjoy it without guilt.In This Episode:How priorities change as we get olderWhat we would tell our younger selves about lifeThe power of saying no without guiltWhy learning to say yes matters just as muchCreating a bucket list and choosing new adventuresWhy midlife can bring greater clarity about what really mattersLetting go of the pressure to do everything yourselfMaking intentional choices about your time and energyWhy ordinary moments can become some of the best parts of lifeJulie's upcoming Key West adventure celebrating Jimmy BuffettMarriage, aging, senior dogs, home renovations, and plenty of Casa DeConfidence banterA Question for YouThink about who you were at 21 or 25.What mattered enormously to you then that you don't care nearly as much about today? And what matters to you now that your younger self never would have understood?We'd love to hear your answer.If this episode makes you laugh, think, or reconsider what deserves a yes or a no in your own life, share it with someone who might need the same reminder.And remember: pick one thing you enjoy and do it guiltlessly.Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, make some brave moves, and leave people and the planet better than you found them.I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode.

How can you raise kids who follow Christ in a world that constantly pulls them in other directions, and what does it look like to parent with grace, wisdom, and a long-term perspective? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Sara sit down with Bible teacher and author Jen Wilkin to talk about the challenges and joys of raising kids who are formed by the gospel rather than the culture around them. Drawing from decades of parenting experience, Jen shares practical wisdom for navigating everything from discipline and boundaries to peer pressure and meaningful family conversations. Together, they discuss the importance of viewing children as image bearers, balancing rules and relationship, and keeping the long view in mind when making everyday parenting decisions. Jen offers encouraging reminders for parents in every stage, helping them trade performance-driven pressure for a deeper trust in God's faithful work in both their children and themselves. Whether you're in the toddler years, navigating the teen years, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you to take a deep breath, hold on to what matters most, and trust that God's grace is at work in your parenting journey.

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!Recording A Fight: Right Or Wrong!You hit record because you were finally going to have proof. And the second that phone went face-down on the table, you started behaving—measured, calm, reasonable—while you waited for them to hand you the exact reaction you were looking for.That's why the recording never works. In Ep469, Cass and Kathryn take on a question they get constantly, including the one recording of their own worst night that actually changed something.

Text us your questions or topics for the show! We got you!The Actual Path From Insecurity To Betrayal!The toilet paper roll was hung the wrong way. She was ten minutes late. The thermostat had been changed. None of it means anything on its own, and you're not accusing anyone—yet. You're just keeping track.That's where it starts. In Ep468, Cass and Kathryn walk through the most common path from insecurity to betrayal, step by step, using their own marriage as the case study—including the part where the "evidence" turned out to be a five-year-old and a clean toilet.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

What Every Man Secretly Wants Rene flips the script this week and puts Bruce in the hot seat. Five questions about men—what they lie to themselves about, what they'll never say out loud, and what they're actually starving for underneath it all. What unfolds is an honest conversation about isolation, false strength, and the pressure so many men carry in silence. Bruce opens up about the moment he had to look at Rene and say, "I can't do this alone"—and why that wasn't weakness, but one of the strongest decisions he ever made. Whether you're a man who has quietly carried the weight of responsibility or a woman who wants to understand the man she loves, this conversation will challenge what you think you know.

Send us Fan MailWhat if the goal of your marriage isn't simply a better relationship—but becoming more like Jesus?In this final episode, we bring the entire series together by looking at the heart of biblical marriage: daily surrender. Through John 3:30, Galatians 2:20, and the Gospel, you'll discover that flourishing isn't found in demanding more from your spouse but in giving more of yourself to Christ. As we decrease and He increases, our marriages become living testimonies of God's love, grace, and glory. Because the greatest gift you can give your spouse isn't a perfect version of you—it's a life fully surrendered to Jesus.

Send us Fan MailHave you unknowingly asked your spouse to do what only God can do?In this episode, we uncover one of the greatest obstacles to intimacy: expecting our spouse to become our source of peace, security, identity, or worth. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God, but it makes a terrible god.

How can something as simple as play help your child grow in their faith, and how can you make play a natural part of your family's everyday rhythms? In this episode of Carpool Conversations, Amy and Sara sit down with Brittany Compton to talk about the powerful purpose behind play. While play often comes naturally to kids, Brittany reminds parents that it is far more than just fun – it's how kids learn, grow, process emotions, build resilience, and connect with the world God made. Together, they discuss how simple, everyday moments of play can strengthen the parent-child bond, create space for meaningful faith conversations, and remind kids that they are loved, valued, and delighted in. From bath time and dinner games to backyard adventures and board games, this conversation is full of practical encouragement for parents who want to be more present and intentional. Whether play comes easily to you or feels like something you have to work at, this episode will encourage you to start small, have fun, and never underestimate what God can do through a few intentional moments with your kids.
