In this episode, we dive into the tricky topic of navigating challenging friendships, family dynamics and marriages—through a biblical lens.

Looking at Jesus' teachings in Matthew, we explore how to set boundaries while still leading with love. We'll unpack ten significant red flags, like constant criticism, one-sided conversations, and control disguised as care. Whether you're questioning a friendship, struggling in your marriage, working through tough in-law scenarios, or wanting healthier relationships, this episode is packed with practical, faith-filled wisdom. Listen in for real-life insights, scriptural guidance, and the tools to build balanced, fulfilling relationships.  If this episode resonates with you, you'll want to pick up a copy of Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life, available everywhere books are sold.

Hey Friend!     We're continuing our series on healthy family relationships, and this week, I'm joined by the newest member of our family–my brand new son-in-law, Kyle Weber. Conflict happens in every family and in every family relationship (that's normal and real-life), but  Kyle and I discuss common ways we make family conflict and drama worse than necessary.   Drawing from Chapter 10 of "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life," we chat about how understanding your personality, family background, and triggers can drastically alter how you approach disputes. Listen as we uncover the transformative power of assuming the best intentions in family communications, a lesson I learned firsthand when I made a big parenting mistake.   Have you ever found yourself in a heated argument over something trivial? Of course, you have!    Discover why addressing minor grievances before they escalate is crucial to maintaining harmony at home. Through personal stories and practical advice, we explore the importance of humility, humor, and honest communication in resolving family conflicts.

Hey Friend!   Have you ever noticed that disagreements with our family members can escalate quickly? This week, I sit down with my oldest daughter, Kylie Jones Healy, to unravel the mysteries behind our emotional triggers. Drawing from insights in my latest book, "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life," we dissect the three primary reasons for anger: blocked goals, unmet desires, and perceived wrongs. Kylie opens up about how these concepts have helped her manage sibling squabbles over something as simple as borrowed clothes, shedding light on how understanding the root causes of anger can transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and stronger bonds.   But it's not all serious talk—Kylie and I also delve into the lighter side of conflict resolution, highlighting how humor can be a powerful tool in diffusing minor tensions. We discuss the fine line between significant and trivial relationship issues and offer practical tips on identifying non-negotiables and fostering clear communication.    Whether dealing with contentious co-parenting or everyday family friction, this episode offers valuable insights for maintaining healthy and connected relationships.

We have all felt the frustration and disappointment of doing our best to do the right thing and life still does not go the way we thought.    For 28 years, Stephen was a faithful husband to his wife. There were no drugs or alcohol or pornography. They raised two kids in a Christian home. From the outside, everything looked like it should be going right. But within their marriage, they were falling apart. Stephen felt emotionally and physically abandoned by his wife and didn't know what to do.   After desperately searching “Sexual Intimacy” on Google in hopes of finding some answers, Stephen stumbled upon Delight Your Marriage. After the first podcast episode, he knew this was what the Lord had for him. He was shocked that after signing up, exactly what he had been praying for came to pass... his wife greeted him with open arms, a smile, and a “How was your day?” followed by a passionate night!   Stephen had to do his work on himself. It wasn't easy and he had to have faith that God could change it all. And He did.   This is the story we want for each person listening: to be desired by their spouse, to be connected, and to be loved in a delight-filled marriage.   We are so thankful to Stephen for sharing his story with us and we hope that his story becomes your story too.   Blessings,   Belah & Team   P.S. - If you want to know more about our Clarity Calls or how to become involved in the same work Stephen did, please reach out to us at delightyourmarriage.com/cc. We would love to talk to you!   P.S.S. - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: Before the men's program: “I often felt disrespected and controlled. To a degree I felt unloved because of the lack of physical intimacy. I often felt I couldn't be myself or express my opinion because of the disapproval I would feel when I did. There was anger and indifference growing in me. We were growing further and further apart…”   After the men's program: “Tension between us is pretty much gone! Our relationship, our discussions have become much more peaceful, easygoing and playful than before. My wife has become more affectionate and has initiated intimacy more! We can now discuss physical intimacy and not argue. She has told me many times how she likes the changes she sees in me, and is expressing more and more desire to grow in intimacy herself!... Other people around us, even strangers, have noticed something different about us. One change that I think is the most telling of how the DYM program has impacted our lives: Prior to the program we had been sleeping in separate rooms for years. I am thankful to say that I am back in our marriage bed, physically, emotionally – for good now!”   P.S.S.S… :)  A few weeks ago, I had the wonderful privilege of being a guest on the 'That's Just What I Needed' podcast with speaker & author Donna Jones, who is a friend of DYM and has actually been on our podcast as well! If you'd like to listen to the episode, we talk about what you can do make your marriage better, regardless of where you're starting. You can find it here: That's Just What I Needed   It was so great getting to chat with her and we hope the episode blesses you immensely! We want to support Donna and the great work she is doing so if you are on social media, please give her a follow on @donnaajones and make sure to check out her new book, Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life. Thank you again for having me, Donna!

Hear how Bonnie went from being a successful weight loss dietitian, to totally transitioning her practice to using an Intuitive Eating approach. I know how hard this is because in many ways, us Intuitive Eating practitioner are still swimming upstream.

Hey Friend! In honor of Mother's Day, I had a conversation with my mom, Carol Riley, and my daughters, Kylie Jones-Healy and Ashton Jones-Weber, three generations of women, who discuss living a life worth passing on.  You'll be encouraged by my mom's wisdom–especially if your own relationship with your mom was less than ideal. You'll be inspired by what my daughters have learned from their “Grammy” on how to be a godly wife and mom.  It's been said that a parent's ceiling is their child's floor. This should give us hope because no matter what our family of origin was like, we have the opportunity to build better and lasting ways of loving our family well.  Our conversation bridges the generational divide, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the enduring legacy of prayer and its impact on shaping lives. The wisdom of previous generations echoes through our dialogue, inviting you to reflect on the spiritual beacons that guide your own familial bonds and the quiet strength found in the legacy we strive to leave. I hope this episode blesses you!

As we navigate the complexities of our culture (and also simply being human!) I share some personal reflections and biblical insights that have been vital in my own life and those of many touched by my book "Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life."  Together, let's stride towards the freedom and peace of living a life centered on our personal missions, handcrafted by God.

Conflict and peace... they seem like polar opposites, right? You certainly can't have one with the other… Or can you? Join me as I interview Donna Jones, author of Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life, as we open up the Bible, hear what God has to say on the matter, and discuss the practical steps clearly laid out for us in places like James and Ephesians.

Have you ever been in a place where a conflict has absolutely consumed you? Whether you're grocery shopping or with friends, that conflict is just circling over and over in your mind. Maybe you find yourself wondering how you even got there in the first place? And even more so, how to get out of that place? Well, author and speaker Donna Jones is here today to talk about just that.  In her new book “Healthy Conflict, Peaceful Life: a Biblical guide to Communicating Thoughts, Feelings, and Opinions with Grace, Truth, and Zero Regret”, Donna walks us through how to handle conflict with love and grace, how to be an Addresser of Conflict, rather than an Avoider or Attacker, how to lead with listening, and so much more.  We were sad to have this episode end because it was such a treasure! We hope this episode blesses you and brings you and your spouse closer together- shoulder to shoulder, against the problem, rather than against each other. We believe God can heal any relationship and He can use you through His wisdom to do just that. Love, Belah

Conflict…it's one of our favorite topics in the world. Just kidding! Most of us try to steer clear of conflict, and those of us who embrace it honestly don't always handle it in the healthiest ways. We've certainly all had moments where we looked back at how we handled a conflict and wondered: Why did I handle it that way?In this conversation, we are taking a look at the many aspects of conflict, from how we can honor God when we've been hurt, how to communicate when we'd rather retaliate, and how we can move toward others when it seems so much easier to run away.Joining me for today's episode is my friend, Donna Jones.

Picture this: we're all at a crossroads in life, right? We're looking back at some tough times and wondering, "Should I forgive or just hold on to that hurt?" Well, I've been right there, wrestling with these big questions. And guess what?

We'll dig deep into the tough stuff – the real challenges of letting go of pain – but also discover the amazing freedom that comes with forgiveness.   As we unpack forgiveness together, you'll see it's more than just saying, "I forgive you."  Forgiveness is a biblical command, a personal choice, and a journey with many steps towards peace.

How often do you stop and think about how well your sense of smell is working? Or how well you're hearing? When was the last time you really thought about your vision and how it's impacting the way you interact with the world? We're grateful today for a friend of the show who's returning to remind us that when we tune into our body and senses, we can start to shape our sensory world to best fit who we are. And when we are comfortable in that world, peace is more easily attained. Gretchen Rubin has been studying happiness and human nature for over a decade.
