Podcasts about Spouse

In this episode of Marriage Lab, Erin and Jenna dive into the do's and don'ts of processing with your spouse—how to share what's on your heart in a way that invites care instead of conflict. From everyday recaps to high-stakes conversations, they unpack why intentionality matters, how to check for capacity, and why leading with emotions creates connection. Along the way, they share practical “dos” like focusing on feelings, clarifying expectations, and processing elsewhere first—and the “don'ts” that can derail intimacy, like dumping endless details, seeking commiseration, or winging it in painful moments. They also illustrate how hope, grace, and the Holy Spirit are essential for real transformation in communication and marriage.Join my Bible Habit Group for low-key accountability.

Is your spouse married to their job, or are you? In today's episode, we're talking about what happens when work takes priority over marriage and how couples can recognize the signs before it causes lasting damage. Let's talk about why this is such a common struggle, what Scripture says about balancing work and marriage, and how to reconnect when work has created distance. If you're feeling like your relationship is playing second to a career, this one's for you. Let's dive in.   Episode Highlights: God gave us ambition and talents for a reason. Work balance in marriage is a common struggle. We tried to look at struggles as growth opportunities instead of failures Society adds to the pressure we feel to pursue success first. If conversations become logistical or date nights become extinct you may be prioritizing work over your marriage. There's a biblical order, that when we get that order right, everything else finds its proper place. Prayer reminds us who our work is truly for. Quotes from Today's Episode: The issue is when our ambition becomes our identity. When we believe our value comes from our next promotion. We are sacrificing our family for our ego. Our culture has us believe rest is laziness. Providing isn't just about money. Your spouse needs your presence, your attention, and your emotional availability. Scripture makes it clear that work is good. We are created in the image of a working God. Bu work has its place in the greater order, and that place isn't first.. Rest and relationship are sacred. Boundaries aren't restrictions. They are protections. Create rituals that prioritize connections. Our ultimate provision isn't in our performance, it's in God's faithfulness. See what happens when you're physically forced to be present with one another.   Couples' Conversation Guide: What one daily ritual can you begin this week to show your spouse and your marriage the energy it deserves. (coffee in the morning, lunch time phone call, prayer in the evening, etc.) When you hear the word “boundaries” do you automatically feel restricted? How can we implement some boundaries that feel like protection instead?  Does our calendar reflect our heart for keeping our marriage first? If not, where can you begin to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to your marriage? What are some physical distractions we can remove during our time together?    Mentioned in this Episode: Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!

they can be wrong up to 17% of the time Church Technology Criticism (00:58:22) The "negative world" concept by Aaron Renn - cultural shift from positive to neutral to negative perception of Christianity Common criticisms: "Tax the churches," "Money should go to the poor" Biblical response: Only Judas complained about expensive things being used to honor Jesus Economic reality: Larger churches often spend lower percentages on tech than smaller churches due to economy of scale Technology costs: Modern equipment costs significantly less than in the early 2000s Social Media Strategy (00:12:38) Initial resistance: Reformed background's "theologized cynicism" toward self-promotion The turning point: People spend 16-18 hours/week on social media hearing secular perspectives "Air war vs. Ground war": Ground war = traditional discipleship, Air war = cultural engagement Digital Areopagus: Social media as the modern equivalent of where Paul engaged culture in Athens Current following growth: From 20-40k to significantly larger audience through strategic content Worship Pastor Turnover Crisis (01:26:06) Root causes identified: Getting into ministry for wrong reasons (seeking bigger stages/record deals) Senior pastors hiring for talent over pastoral gifting Lack of pastoral development and broader leadership responsibilities "Warm up the crowd" mentality rather than true pastoral partnership Solutions proposed: Hire character first, develop competency Give worship pastors genuine pastoral responsibilities Focus on being pastors who happen to use music Create long-term development paths Hiring and Leadership Development (00:36:29) Key principle: "Always bet on leadership" over pure talent Character evaluation: Look at family life as indicator of leadership capacity "Hire slow, fire fast" - don't ignore red flags in interviews Vision alignment: Ensure worship leaders can come under senior pastor's vision Josh's story: Had to fire a worship leader after 5 weeks for vision misalignment Succession Planning (00:45:13) LakePoint's success factors: Outgoing pastor (Steve Stroop) "left campground clean" - addressed problems before transition Incoming pastor honored what came before rather than dismissing it 70% credit to predecessor, 30% to successor for smooth transition Key advice for incoming leaders: Honor those who built what you inherited Watch your pace in first year - observe more than you act Win relationships and excel on stage Don't make major changes without building equity first Staying Humble While Growing (00:52:54) Key relationships: Spouse who believes in you but isn't impressed by you Hire up: Surround yourself with people more talented than you Find joy in others' wins: Move from taking all the shots to giving others opportunities Dave Stone's wisdom: "Don't let praise go to your head, don't let criticism go to your heart" Josh's perspective: Staying confident is often harder than staying humble Future Ministry Vision (01:08:27) Chris's focus: Leadership pipeline development - never having to post job openings Josh's project: "Discipleship at scale" through vertically aligned content delivery Core principle: "We're in the disciple business, not the events business" Technology integration: Purpose-built app to connect sermon, podcast, reading plans, and groups Quotable Moments "If you find yourself on team Judas, get a different team." - Josh on criticizing church spending "Two visions create division." - Chris on worship pastor alignment "Don't let praise go to your head and don't let criticism go to your heart." - Dave Stone's advice "We're not in the events business, we're in the disciple business." - Josh on ministry focus "The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats." - Josh on handling criticism Action Items for Church Leaders Experiment with AI as a research and content creation tool while maintaining proper oversight Evaluate your hiring process - prioritize character and leadership potential over pure talent Assess succession planning - are you preparing for healthy transitions? Review social media strategy - consider it as cultural engagement rather than self-promotion Examine technology spending through economy of scale lens rather than raw dollar amounts Develop internal leadership pipelines rather than constantly hiring externally Align all ministry elements toward discipleship rather than just events Resources Mentioned ChatGPT/Grok for AI assistance Stream Deck for video production control Canon C80 cameras for podcast production Aaron Renn's "Negative World" essay Apple Maps analogy for leadership transitions Connect with Guests LakePoint Church: [Church website/social media] Josh Howerton: [Social media handles] Chris Kuti: [Social media handles] This episode was recorded at LakePoint Church's broadcast studio.

When you're fired up about a new goal, whether it's launching a business, training for a triathlon, or pursuing a passion project, and your spouse looks at you like you've lost your mind, it can feel deflating. Their skepticism makes sense though.    Tune in this week to learn why you don't need anyone else to believe in your dreams for them to be valid or achievable. I'll show you how to pursue your goals without damaging your marriage, find creative solutions when your spouse isn't on board financially or time-wise, and set appropriate boundaries if the negativity becomes destructive. Your vision matters, and there's always a way to honor both your dreams and your relationships.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/525

Money conversations fall short when only one spouse is at the table. It's easy to treat financial planning like another household task to divide and conquer, but unlike errands, your financial plan is the blueprint for your shared future.What we've seen time and again is that the person sleeping next to you often holds the key to your blind spots. They know what stresses you out, what brings you joy, and what dreams you've stopped saying out loud. That's why the best financial plans aren't just about returns or tax strategies—they're built around conversations that reflect what both of you actually care about.One question we love to ask: “Would you rather spend more each year, or donate that money to your least favorite political cause?” It's uncomfortable and it works. Couples suddenly uncover real goals they've never voiced before.When both partners are involved, tradeoffs become clearer, values rise to the surface, and decisions feel more connected. It's not just better planning, it's a better relationship with your future.What conversations might you and your partner still need to have?- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
