Ever felt too flawed, too awkward, or just too normal to share your faith? Same. In this episode, we're talking about how to actually talk about Jesus without turning into a megaphone preacher on a street corner or ghosting every opportunity because you feel like a hypocrite. From grocery store run-ins to gym sessions, awkward funeral outfits to middle school armpit prayers, Pastor Josh and Trevor unpack why relational always beats religious. You'll hear real talk about the fears that keep us silent, the myths that make evangelism weird, and why your imperfect story might be exactly what someone else needs. No scripts. No guilt trips. Just honest convo on how the gospel spreads through people who care more about connection than performance. This one's practical, funny, and might just unlock a new kind of boldness in your everyday life. Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?

A Relational Fellowship: Pursuing a Covenant Relationship with GodInterview with Nsima David UdokoIn this Faith and Family Fellowship episode, Dallas interviews Nsima David Udoko.About the Book:God laid the foundation of human existence in the fabric of relationships with vertical and lateral components for survival and well-being. The vertical component establishes a spiritual connection with God the Creator, from which man derives energy for the lateral component. The lateral component establishes living paradigms and outlines healthy development and maintenance rules, obligations, and responsibilities. Therefore, whether vertically or laterally, human relationships are designed to be a two-way street, requiring reciprocal obligation or joint action.In “A Relational Fellowship: Pursuing a Covenant Relationship with God,” the author inspires the reader to embrace new birth as the sovereign act of God's grace that breaks the grip of sin on the believer to release him from human depravity so that he could share in God's nature to serve Him acceptably and profitably.The author conveys that a relational fellowship with God goes beyond believing in Him to being in accord with Christ in all viewpoints, interests, desires, and conduct.Buy Your Copy of the Book: https://a.co/d/4W3BIDwThank you for listening and supporting the 'Faith and Family Fellowship PODCAST SHOW'.

1 John 4V7-12 with Bethany Allen At the center of our faith is this stunning reality: God is love (1 John 4v8). This means that love isn't just something God does—it's who he is. Out of this very nature, God created life and sent his Son into the world. He did not do this in response to our love for him, but because he first loved us (1 John 4v9–10). As followers of Jesus, we are invited to receive that love deeply and let it shape our whole lives. https://bridgetown.church/teaching

Don't Leave Your Spouse Out of the Money Conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn

What if being great with money doesn't guarantee you're doing great with your spouse?If you're the “money person” in your marriage, you may think you're doing everything right. But what if your spouse feels shut out of the process? It happens more than you think. Shaunti Feldhahn joins us today to talk about how you can avoid that disconnect or fix it if need be.Shaunti Feldhahn is a Harvard graduate, former Wall Street analyst, social researcher, best-selling author, and a prominent public speaker. She is the co-author of Thriving in Love and Money: 5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself, written with her husband, Jeff, and has co-authored several books with him, revealing impactful truths about relationships at home and in the workplace.Honor What Your Spouse ValuesMoney-minded individuals often unknowingly send the message that their spouse's financial opinions don't matter. Even with good intentions and solid planning, failing to honor what your spouse values can damage not just your finances but your marriage.Spouses who handle the finances might assume they're right and the other is wrong. That unspoken belief, even if subtle, can lead one partner to feel dismissed—and that's a dangerous place to be.About two-thirds of spouses believe they know better than their partner how to manage finances. This is similar to how most people think they're above-average drivers—statistically improbable, but psychologically common.While it's okay to have differing financial opinions, it becomes a problem when one partner consistently feels unheard or undervalued. Many “money people” may not even realize they're doing this, but over time, it fosters resentment and undermines trust.Different Values, Different PrioritiesMore than 80% of couples have differing financial values, which are often rooted in their childhood experiences, temperaments, or faith priorities.For instance, one spouse may believe saving for college is urgent and non-negotiable. The other may feel that making memories with their children while they are young, such as taking a trip to Disney, is equally important. Neither is wrong. They're just different.The danger lies in assuming that one value system is superior. If one spouse feels their values are constantly being overlooked, resentment can quietly grow until it spills over into other areas of the relationship.The real danger isn't only in the budget—it's in the relationship.If one person starts to feel like their opinions don't matter, it doesn't just affect money decisions. It becomes a marriage issue.And this dynamic can even show up in financial advisor meetings, where professionals may unintentionally direct conversations toward the more financially-minded spouse. This reinforces the problem and risks charting a course toward relational misalignment.Three Steps Toward Greater Financial UnityIn her article for Faithful Steward, Shaunti offers three practical steps to bring both voices to the table:Ask Each Other a Simple QuestionAt a neutral time—say, over morning coffee—ask:“On a scale of 1 to 5, how heard and valued do you feel in our financial decisions?”If the answer isn't a 5, it's a red flag—time for a deeper conversation. Treat Less-than-Perfect Answers SeriouslyA “3” or “4” means something isn't connecting. Don't ignore it. The goal is for both spouses to feel their voice and values are part of the plan, even when you disagree. Explore Your Financial Values TogetherChapter 3 of her book, Thriving in Love and Money, maps out different “money values”—how people view experiences vs. things, time vs. money, or convenience vs. frugality. Shaunti encourages couples to read the chapter together (or separately with notes in the margins) to uncover hidden assumptions.Real-Life Insight: The $1.50 LessonShaunti also shares a personal example: she values time and convenience, so she's happy to pay an extra $1.50 per movie ticket to reserve seats in advance. Jeff, her husband, sees that as unnecessary—he'd rather arrive early to save money.Neither is “right.” However, understanding each other's values helped them approach decisions with greater ease and grace, rather than conflict.Remember, resentment is like a slow leak—it can go unnoticed until the tire blows out. But the antidote is simply listening with love and curiosity.You can read her full article in Faithful Steward, our quarterly magazine designed to help you connect your faith with your finances.

In this conversation we discuss the trajectory of his spirituality and work, especially how and why he made intentional choices to move away from the up-and-coming charismatic preacher kind of life, to become someone who instead is pouring his energy into environmental care, both in his own faith community and also in helping to cultivate this across a diverse range of faith communities in NZ. We talk about the tension between despair and active engagement that can come in this kind of work. We also reflect on how the 'outcomes' of ecological action (e.g. reversing climate change etc) are not the only measure of the importance of caring for our environment; there is something deeply human and deeply spiritual that can resonate in this space. As a part of his work, James is the director of the Eco Church network in New Zealand (https://www.ecochurch.org.nz/), as well as the host of the podcast Ngā Here – the Many Connections - a podcast that explores the connections between faith, caring for nature, and living in the context of Aotearoa NZ.

Today's guest is GS Youngblood — author of The Masculine in Relationship and The Art of Embodiment for Men. His work centers around helping men live, love, and lead from their masculine core. If you've ever felt stuck in Nice Guy tendencies, struggled to lead in your relationship, or wanted to deepen your emotional strength without losing your edge — this one's for you." GS challenges the idea that all masculinity is toxic by offering an actionable model — the Masculine Blueprint — that helps men become grounded in their own power while becoming more relational with their feminine partners. His work bridges grounded leadership, emotional connection, and embodiment, rooted in disciplines ranging from psychology and martial arts to spirituality and BDSM. His two books have sold nearly 90,000 copies, and he's become a highly sought-after coach for men seeking depth, direction, and relational mastery. At its core, The Masculine in Relationship is about how masculine power can successfully coexist with the strong feminine — especially in modern relationships where polarity often collapses under stress, kids, Nice Guy habits, or passivity. GS provides a grounded, accessible framework for what he calls Relational Masculinity — a combination of emotional depth, structural leadership, and grounded nervous system regulation that pulls a woman back into play, softness, and sexual openness without control, manipulation, or passivity.

Relational Bypassing - The Hidden Ways We Bypass Real Healing | Ep #193

Heal from Infidelity

In this episode we'll discuss the concept of relational bypassing, a pattern where individuals avoid emotional pain in relationships, particularly after infidelity. This behavior can hinder intimacy and healing, so there is a real importance of emotional presence and truth in rebuilding the trust. Key Takeaways: Relational bypassing can kill intimacy in relationships. Fixing without hearing leads to disconnection. Emotional shortcutting delays healing. What we resist stays stuck; what we feel can move. Both partners in infidelity need to process their emotions. Avoidance strategies prevent real connection. Emotional presence is crucial for rebuilding trust. Truth must come from a real place for healing. Controlling the narrative can be a form of bypassing. Choosing connection over comfort fosters intimacy.

Learn how to set clear expectations, focus on strengths, and create a thriving environment where individuals can succeed at their highest level.What you'll learn on this episodeLeadership is about teaching others how to think so they can reach their goals.People either lack the will or the skill to succeed in a role—your job as a leader is to figure out which one and lead accordingly.Nature vs. nurture: Skill can be nurtured, but will is inherent—just like parenting, you nurture a person's natural abilities to help them reach their full potential.Leading with empathy and focusing on strengths helps individuals push past their limitations.Setting clear, measurable expectations is crucial to success for both the leader and their team.You don't get paid to be right; you get paid to persuade—embrace collaboration instead of validation.Leadership is a skill you can learn over time through trial, error, and reflection.Leading through influence and setting expectations gives your team the tools to succeed on their own.Accountability is key—both the leader and the team must be clear about what is expected.Great leadership builds trust and empowers others to make decisions.If you're ready to build a team that operates with clarity, confidence, and commitment—without micromanaging—this is your roadmap.Teach to Sell isn't just about increasing your sales.

I've spoken to Whitehead scholar Matt Segall a couple of times before, and I was really keen to catch up with him to hear his process-relational and process philosophical takes on AI, intelligence and consciousness. I was responding to a piece he recently wrote titled " The Philosophical Implications of Artificial Intelligence" (full citation below), and it's helped me to ground the conversation about AI that sometimes feels like it easily gets untethered from reality, or just collapses the complexity of humans down into computational machines. There's a lot of more pernicious metaphors that reductive materialists have about humans are, and so this conversation helps to recenter the AI Hyped conversations into a much more process-relational context.

Greetings friends. By now you have likely heard about, if not already listened to, Aubrey Marcus' podcast “A New Pattern for Sacred Relationship.” If you haven't I would recommend at least check out the first 30 minutes. Last weekend I listened to the whole thing, all 2.5 hours. I've also read and watched a number of responses to it (and there are many).Some folks call him a "false king" who is not a "real man". Others say the women (his wife and their lover) are being manipulated and have lost their own inner compass.Marc Gafni, their mentor (also featured on the podcast) calls them "evolutionary lovers in a field of erotic mystics" ... or something.It seems to have hit the cultural zeitgeist on sex, relationships, monogamy/polyamory, spiritual bypassing, divine union, cults, psychedelics, all of it.Just that alone has been fascinating to witness.A few days ago I posted an initial response on my Facebook. I also sent the episode to my friend and collaborator Deus Fortier, and he responded with is take here.I felt inspired to jump on a call today and record an emergent conversation between us. Enjoy!

In this new sermon series, Shalom, we explore the biblical path to deep and lasting peace—relational, financial, parental, and sexual. Shalom, the Hebrew word for peace, speaks to a wholeness and harmony that can only come from God. In a culture marked by anxiety, shame, and brokenness, Jesus—our Prince of Peace—offers a way forward. Through His Spirit and Word, we learn to live in step with God's design, where peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of God. As we trust in His unchanging character, we begin to walk in a peace that transcends understanding, bringing rest, reconciliation, and intimacy with the Lord.

ABSTRACT To act rightly is to act in accordance with moral demands. But what grounds moral demands? Much contemporary moral philosophy tends to take a non-relational approach to answering this question. According to non-relational moral theories, to act rightly is to act in a way that honours or promotes the (non-relational) moral properties of individuals, for example their well-being or their rights. According to relational moral theories, by contrast, at least some moral demands are grounded in a relation between individuals. To act rightly, is to act in accordance with what our moral relations to other individuals demand from us. Within relational theories, there is a further distinction to be drawn. Most contemporary relational theories presuppose that moral relations are determined by relational moral properties of the individuals involved. Call this account of relational moral demands individuals-first relationalism. Radical relationalism, by contrast, rejects the normative priority of moral properties of individuals – whether they are relational or non-relational properties. Instead, it has a relations-first structure. My aim in this paper is to argue that some moral demands are radically relational. ABOUT Fabienne Peter is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick, specialising in moral and political philosophy and in social epistemology, including political epistemology. She has published extensively on political legitimacy and democratic theory. Her current research is in meta-ethics. She served as Head of Department at Warwick from 2017 to 2020. Before joining Warwick, she was a postdoc at Harvard University and then an assistant professor at the University of Basel. She has also held visiting positions at the Research School of Social Sciences at ANU and the Murphy Institute at Tulane University.
