Most marriages don't blow up with yelling; they drift apart in silence. It's not the fights that break you, it's the distance. The conversations you avoid. The nights you scroll instead of talk. The stuff you hold back. Silence convinces you everything's fine when it's not. And the longer you leave it, the harder it gets to close the gap.Here's the truth: strong marriages don't just “happen.” Intentional couples don't ignore the drift. They lean in. They start the awkward conversations. They ask the hard questions. It's uncomfortable, but it's what keeps a marriage from quietly falling apart.In this episode of Amplified Marriage, we're talking about what marriage drift actually looks like and how to fight it. We're sharing:Our own story of drift (and how close we came to losing it all)How busyness and “normal life” can sneakily pull you apartPractical ways to close the gap (like the 10-minute pause and 15-minute couch time)Why conflict isn't the enemy, but silence isHow intentionality keeps couples connected for the long haulThis one's real, it's honest, and it's for every couple that's ever looked at each other and thought, “Is this all we've got left?” Spoiler: it's not.Episode Links & ResourcesMissed last week?

When growth confuses those around you, it's easy to soften your calling for the sake of connection. Learn how to stay aligned without needing external validation or approval.You know you're aligned.You've done the work.But others still aren't sure.In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks one of the most emotionally charged aspects of recalibration: holding conviction when others who love you can't yet see what you see.You'll learn why waiting for consensus creates unnecessary hesitation, how your nervous system processes relational projection, and why ILR equips you to hold alignment when well-meaning people offer opinions rooted in their own calibration, not yours.Julie shares her personal story of walking through others' uncertainty while building Identity-Level Recalibration itself — and how staying anchored to vertical clarity allowed her to continue moving forward without defensiveness or guilt.In This Episode, We Cover:The emotional cost of holding alignment when others don't understand your growthWhy others' concern often reflects their nervous system safety, not your misalignmentConviction vs. compassion: why clarity must leadILR's identity-first model vs. leadership optimization or relational coachingJulie Holly's personal ILR build story — leading in the absence of external validationSting's recalibration journey (The Police to solo career)Why conviction doesn't require arrogance — but does require vertical alignmentThe danger of softening your call to maintain temporary comfortToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself:Where have I been quietly waiting for others to validate what I already know?Where have I softened my own conviction to avoid their discomfort?Reframe: Their understanding isn't required for my obedience.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this heartfelt episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm joined once again by my wife, Jessica Hagner, to share an inside look at how we approach marriage, parenting, and family life as a team. From building respect and handling conflict to raising four boys with shared values, this conversation is packed with personal stories, laughter, and real-life strategies for staying connected through all of life's ups and downs.   We talk about how we've learned to operate in parenting, the role of respect in every interaction, and the tools that help us resolve conflict without damaging trust. Jessica opens up about her perspective as a wife and mother, and together, we discuss the importance of modeling the behavior we want to see in our kids. Whether you're in the early years of marriage or decades in, this episode offers encouragement and actionable ways to strengthen your family relationships.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and why this conversation with Jessica matters [2:12] - The role of mutual respect in keeping a marriage strong [5:07] - How we handle conflict and keep trust intact [9:15] - Parenting as a united front and setting shared expectations [13:28] - Balancing structure and flexibility with four boys [16:44] - Teaching respect by modeling it in our marriage [20:15] - How we navigate disagreements in front of our kids [23:51] - Creating space for connection in a busy household [27:06] - The importance of making each child feel seen and valued [30:42] - Our approach to discipline without creating resentment [34:25] - How parenting styles evolve as kids grow [38:18] - Keeping romance alive while raising a family [42:56] - The value of open, honest communication in marriage [46:39] - Leading our family spiritually and emotionally [50:20] - Why grace matters as much as structure in parenting [54:14] - Final reflections on building a family rooted in respect and love     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Respect Is the Foundation Every strong marriage and family dynamic begins with mutual respect—how we speak to each other, handle disagreements, and set the tone for our household. 2. Conflict Can Strengthen Connection When handled with honesty and empathy, disagreements can build trust instead of breaking it. It's not about avoiding conflict—it's about navigating it well. 3. Parent as a Team Kids thrive when they see their parents united. Operating from the same playbook creates stability and prevents division in the home. 4. Model the Behavior You Want to See Children learn more from what you do than what you say. By demonstrating respect, patience, and grace, we set the example for how they'll treat others. 5. Grace Balances Structure Rules and boundaries are essential, but grace creates a safe and loving environment where kids can learn from their mistakes without fear.       LINKS & RESOURCES   • Download the 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions • Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com • Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance • Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast • Tools & Resources: https://www.thedadedge.com/tools       If this episode encouraged you or gave you new insight into your marriage or parenting, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.

Successful but unfulfilled? Brother Bernard had success but seeing his immigrant father's commitment to his faith made him reevaluate what true purpose is.

In this episode, Lisa and Jeremy discuss:Navigating the tension between building a career and staying connected with familyDeveloping intentional family habits to foster communication and connectionMentorship and parenting as parallel paths of leadership and influenceThe evolving dynamics of parent-child relationships over timeKey Takeaways: Regularly engaging in open-ended, judgment-free conversations—such as a structured “questions game” with mutual vulnerability—can significantly strengthen emotional connection, trust, and communication within families.By identifying and committing to a few foundational priorities (like faith, family meals, and academic responsibility), families can create a value-based structure that helps manage time and reduce overwhelm amid hectic schedules.Proactively setting boundaries, building routines, and reassessing time investments can help parents transition from guilt-driven reactions to intentional presence and sustained connection with their children.Incorporating diverse mentorship sources—like books, podcasts, and public figures—alongside personal storytelling empowers parents and teens to grow through both external insight and lived family wisdom.“There is room for everything, so long as your priorities are in line.” – Jeremy HillAbout Jeremy Hill: Jeremy is a recognized expert in the private debt industry.

Welcome to a solo masterclass with me, Lance Graulich—host of Eye On Franchising and a franchise broker who's helped hundreds escape the 9-to-5 with the right franchise.After interviewing 200+ franchisors, founders, and elite franchisees, I've distilled the Top 10 Success Tips that separate the million-dollar earners from the ones who flame out. These are the same lessons real franchise owners are using to:Scale to $100K+ months (even in their 20s)Build empires without prior business experienceHire right, market smarter, and outpace their competitorsAnd yes—finally fire their boss HARD TRUTH: The biggest failure point? Not following the system. Shocking, right? I've seen it firsthand.

“A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:10–12 NLT) When he was little, my son Jonathan had a habit of wandering. One day, we were in a hotel and came to an elevator. He ran ahead to push the button. I told him, “If the elevator comes, wait until Dad gets there.” Just as I arrived at the elevator, the doors were closing, and he was inside. He was gone. I frantically pushed the button for the other elevator and waited for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, the doors opened, and I jumped in. I went down to the lobby. He wasn’t there. I ran back to the elevator, pushed every button for every floor, and as the doors opened, I would scream out his name. I didn’t care about decorum. I wanted to find my son. And I found him, about three floors up, wandering around. But you know what? After that experience, he didn’t wander anymore. He got separated from his dad, and it was scary for him. He learned how important it was to stay close to me. As Christians, we should want to stay as close to our heavenly Father as possible. Our enemy, the devil, is a powerful adversary, and we are no match for him in our own strength. The apostle Peter wrote, “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8 NLT). We don’t want to venture out into this life on our own abilities and suffer spiritual defeat. I have a healthy respect for the devil’s ability. That’s why I want to stay as close to the Lord as possible. I want to be strong in Him. Wanting to stay close to your Father may seem like a childish instinct, but it’s actually evidence of a mature faith. In Ephesians 6, the apostle Paul instructs us to “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power” and to “put on all of God’s armor” (NLT). He leaves no room for solo outings or wandering journeys. Staying close to our heavenly Father gives us more than protection by an all-powerful God. Psalm 94:17–19 says, “Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, ‘I am slipping!’ but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer” (NLT). If ever there was a time to be walking closely with the Lord, it is now. This is not the time to be playing games with God. This is not the time to wander away.

Swimmers at the beach must always be wary of the undertow. If they don't stay close to the shore and pay attention to where they are, they can get swept away! The same is true for our daily spiritual lives. If we don't stay close to Jesus, we can be pulled away into the world. As long as we draw near to God, nothing can snatch us from Him. Let's stay close to Jesus every day.
