Brian starts light with a study on how good posture doesn't just help your body but actually improves mood and decision-making — vindicating moms everywhere. He shares the disconcerting experience of repeated tornado warnings in the Chicago suburbs this summer and reflects on what it means to surrender control to God when the weather, and life, feel chaotic. He digs into a New York Times piece asking whether letting kids play alone outside should be criminalized, and shares an encouraging social media post reminding pastors that the local church can't be replaced by big podcasts and platforms. Brian reads through the "hope passage" of Romans 5 in full, reflects on the growing political extremism on both the left and right, and shares a "Really?" moment from the Wall Street Journal on parents attending their Gen Z kids' job interviews. He closes with Andy Davis on the value of Scripture memorization for ministry and a Paul David Tripp reflection on the counterintuitive blessing found in mourning over sin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Sunday, we will explore how to grow the fruit of joy in our lives. Pastor and author Paul David Tripp notes, “A joyful life of grace towards others grows best in the soil of gratitude.” We bear the fruit of joy when we thank the Lord for being the “giver of immortal gladness.” He has turned mourning into dancing, shame into glory, and graves into gardens.

Today I want to convince you to talk to yourself. Now before you tune me out because that sounds crazy, let me remind you of something — you’re already doing it. Every single one of us is. All day, every day, there’s a voice running in the background of your life. You interpret events. You evaluate yourself. You replay conversations. You predict outcomes. You preach to yourself constantly. Paul David Tripp says, “No one is more influential in your life than you are, because no one talks to you more than you do.” That inner voice is shaping you — for good or for harm. The question isn’t whether you talk to yourself. The question is what you’re saying. Is it truth or fear? Grace or condemnation? Hope or despair? So today, I want to help you take back control of that conversation. I want to convince you to start preaching the gospel to yourself — again and again. And to show us how that’s done, we’re going to Psalm 42, where we meet a man who refuses to let his discouragement have the final word.

*Republishing our most downloaded episodes, one a month this year*Whether you've been married for a few years or are approaching a milestone anniversary, a healthy marriage takes intentional work. Marriage isn't built in the big, dramatic moments, but in thousands of small habits and daily interactions that over time lead to either a God-honoring, joy-filled relationship—or one marked by strain and self-focus.Author and speaker Paul David Tripp joins me to talk about how those everyday habits shape our marriages and how to identify the ones that need to be uprooted. Drawing from nearly 50 years of marriage, Paul helps us see our relationships through the lens of the gospel.“A biblical view of marriage is a sinner married to a sinner in a fallen world—but with a faithful God. That means we can't coast. There are things in each of us that threaten our marriage, and we need God's grace every day.”My hope is that this conversation encourages you to re-engage your marriage with renewed faith and confidence in what God can do.What we talk about: How marriages are shaped by thousands of small moments Why daily habits matter more than big moments Identifying healthy and harmful marriage habits How sin turns us inward—and why marriage is a covenant of community Confession, forgiveness, and navigating conflict Unity vs. uniformity in marriage The role of the fruit of the Spirit in a thriving marriage Why isolation harms marriage and community helps heal it Connect with Paul David Tripp:  Instagram: Paul David Tripp (@paultrippquotes) Facebook: Paul David Tripp Website: PaulTripp.com | Pastor.
