A couple of weeks ago, I was hearing over and over in my conversations with friends how much stress and confusion and YOWZA come with the holidays. I love this season. I'm probably baking something as you read these words. I'm in. AND I also know this season comes with its fair share of extra. Extra chaos, extra scramble, extra hosting, extra outpouring, even extra grief. So I asked a question online and in private conversations: If you had the luxury of having your own relationship expert on call during the holidays, what would you want to ask? Oh, man, did the floodgates open. And my guest April Bordeau knew just what to do. April is a phenomenal therapist with over thirty years of experience. She's a founder and the managing director of Care To Change, a counseling center in the Indianapolis area, and she was kind enough to join me in a late-night recording session.

Episode 170: All the Premarital Stuff   Had a conversation with a pastor - He was preparing for a wedding - Many pastors don't do weddings enough to have a plan - So here is a plan!   Why Pre-marital counseling is important Deal with issues now that would cause fights later Opportunity to make sure the couple is "evenly yoked" (2 Corinthians 6:14) if not share Jesus with them both Develop a relationship so they feel they have someone to turn to later when they are struggling. Very few couples have godly marriages to mentor them. Even kids who grew up in Christian homes may not have had parents who were intentional about training them how to be a godly husband/wife. Even if you do not want to do the counseling for the couple, you must encourage them to seek counseling from a Christian counselor or another pastor. You will still need to meet with them to plan the ceremony.   When should premarital counseling begin? The answer to this relates to the next question but recommend 3 months before wedding Pastor in Colorado who does pre-engagement counseling. If you haven't done counseling with him before you get engaged, he won't do your wedding. His reason is that once a couple is engaged, it is nearly impossible to tell them they shouldn't get married if you feel they are incompatible.   How many sessions? Recommend 6 sessions if this is the first marriage for both. Recommend 8 sessions if this is not the first marriage for either. Mention Bill and Jen Rogers Stepfamily Mission Possible ministry. [Link to Episode 157] Many stepfamily couples will benefit from hearing from couples who have been through similar circumstances.   What should happen during a counseling session? Sessions should only last 1 hour 30 minutes for ceremony planning - remind them that this is their ceremony - not mom's 30 minutes for counseling ( some issues may come up during the ceremony planning that may uncover a counseling need)   What tools should we use? Trent and Dana (I recommend that you include your spouse) recommend the SYMBIS tool. [Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott symbis.com] We have our own schedule but SYMBIS helps you keep a schedule and make sure you have input from the couple and that you cover all the relevant topics. Communication Conflict Finances Sex Expectations In-laws Spirituality Friends Common interests   Wedding rehearsal - tips to keep it from being a circus Please have a rehearsal with all the folks who will be involved in the ceremony. If possible have the rehearsal after the rehearsal dinner.  Rehearsal should only last 30 minutes introduce yourself to family and wedding party - then pray place everyone on the stage and get bride's approval for placement of people practice leaving practice entering and getting into place talk through schedule and make sure everyone knows what they are doing (rings, handing off bouquet etc) If you have the ceremony planned before hand with the couple - this will go smoothly - the rehearsal is not the time to make decisions.  If one of the "moms" tries to make changes - simply respond with "I appreciate your ideas but this is how the couple would like things to happen."  last thing is to tell everyone what time to be there for pictures and ask who will bring the marriage license   Wedding day check in with Bridal party check in with groom dudes Make sure rings and marriage license are there make sure you have all that you need including printed ceremony and mic if necessary after the ceremony, sign the marriage license and talk to the couple about their plan for filing it with the county clerk

Think of the happy ending in a storybook, where the prince and princess get married and live happily ever after. That is the concept that we have grown up with. But what if it didn't always have to be like that? The ‘happily ever after' concept is a common theme in marriage. It is the idea of a perfect marriage that will last forever. However, it is not always easy. Some people find themselves in a marriage that they are unhappy with, and some opt to end their marriage because of incompatibility.  In this episode, Kristel shares her experience in marriage and what a revolutionized happily ever after in marriage looks like. Additionally, Kristel shares her divorce story and what she has learned from it. Marriage is not a one-time event, but rather it is an ongoing commitment that requires work and effort to sustain. It requires you to continually learn about your partner as you also improve yourself. Moreover, relationships are not built on love; they are built on choice because everyday tough choices must be made for that relationship to last. Tune in!

Do you know the Guardian of Love?In this episode we wanna rediscover this guardian which is a virtue. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church a 'virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself. 'We continue on the journey of Love & Responsibility by discussing on why the world rejects chastity even though it's what is needed nowadays. The virtue that is probably resented the most today is chastity. Chastity is no longer seen as something good, something noble, something we should all pursue.

What is this RESPONSIBILITY? How can it transform our relationships?St. John Paul II explains, "There exists in love a particular responsibility, the responsibility for a person who is drawn into the closest possible partnership in the life and activity of another, and becomes in a sense the property of whoever benefits from this gift of self" (p. 130).In this episode, we discuss on how this applies to married relationships and other relationships in general. We dive deep into this counter-cultural standard of love that Saint John Paul II proposes.The strength of such a love emerges most clearly when the beloved person stumbles, when his or her weaknesses or even sins come into the open. One who truly loves does not then withdraw his love, but loves all the more, loves in full consciousness of the other's shortcomings and faults, and without in the least approving of them. For the person as such never loses its essential value. The emotion which attaches itself to the value of the person remains loyal to the human being."

Sexuality in an overly sexualized world is where we can really fall into using a person for our own pleasure. That is why much of St. John Paul II's work like Love & Responsibility and Theology of the Body tackles the nature of sexual urge. He defined how the sexual urge manifests itself in the tendency for human persons to seek the opposite sex.❤️ Support Our Mission by simply sending us a virtual coffee at ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/langga

As we journey on with St. John Paul II's book, Love and Responsibility, we discuss the foundational principle for human relationships, which is St. JP2's major task in his book. This foundational principle as he defined it is called the “personalist principle." ❤️ Support Our Mission by simply sending us a virtual coffee at ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/langga

How does a person know if he is in a relationship of authentic, committed love or just another fly by night relationship? We continue our journey with St. John Paul II's Love & Responsibility where he defined the two sides of love. According to St. JP2, there are two aspects of love, and understanding the difference is crucial for any marriage, engagement, or dating relationship. ❤️ Support Our Mission by simply sending us a virtual coffee at ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/langga

What is really happening when men and women find themselves attracted to one another?We discuss the other part of attraction - SENSUALITY through the lens of St. John Paul II. We once again, go back and reflect on his perspective on written in his book - Love & Responsibility. We even talk about PORNOGRAPHY vs the classical art that that depicts the nakedness of a person.❤️ Support Our Mission by simply sending us a virtual coffee at ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/langga

Welcome to episode thirty-two of New Creation Conversations. In today's conversation I am joined by well-known author and relationship expert Dr. Les Parrott.  Les, and his wife Leslie have been helping couples prepare for marriage and improve their relationships for over thirty years now.  They have spoken all over the world and have been featured in USA Today and The New York Times. They have also appeared on CNN, The View, The Today Show, and Oprah. They are #1 New York Times best-selling authors. Their books have sold over two million copies in more than a dozen languages and include best-selling and Gold-medallion winner Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts. Other popular titles include Real Relationships, The Parent You Want to Be, Trading Places, The Complete Guide to Marriage Mentoring, and Love Talk.Les served for many years on the faculty of Seattle Pacific University and is now a professor of psychology at Northwest University and they are founders of the Center for Healthy Relationships on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University. I first got to know Les and Leslie when they moved to Seattle in the late 80s. They became important friends and mentors for Debbie and me while we were dating and in our first years of marriage. Like me, Les is a pastor's kid and he was a significant influence and source of encouragement for me as I considered pursuing an advanced degree. Deb and I are both deeply thankful for our friendship with both Les and Leslie and are incredibly grateful for the way God has used them both and the platform God has given to themLes and I have a conversation about SYMBIS – how it came to be and how it is still shaping couples today. We also talk about two or three of my favorite books of his. Creating this podcast has been a great opportunity to make some new friends, but it has also been delightful to catch up with some long-time friends too. I have learned a lot from Les across the years, and he has helped me help several couples get off to a good start together. I think you will enjoy and be blessed sitting in on this conversation between two (increasing) old friends. 

In this episode we answer some of the questions from our livestream in our  Langga Speaks Off-The-Record Facebook Group. Most of them are related to our Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts (SYMBIS) Episodes.Here are the questions we tried to answer:If gagawa kayo ng book/books niyo in the future - it's more on?How to deal with hypocrites (if they are unavoidable)? What are the common intentions that both of you usually pray for every single day? - Paano po ba malalaman kung time na to make amin? What if kung yung kausap mo nalaman mo na may baby na and not sure if single dad siya, should I ask directly? How do you forgive mistakes that are committed repeatedly? How would you know if you are ready to enter a relationship and if he is your “God's Best?”How to deal with non-negotiables before being in a relationship? Totoo daw po ba yung “add to cart?”Is there really a good amount of chance that a man would change for the better and sincerely get back with an ex after a decade since their breakup? What are your thoughts of getting a relationship with an atheist when you are a devout Catholic? ❤️ Support Our Mission by simply sending us a virtual coffee at ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/langga

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE! I inhaled deeply.  The scent of the fabric softener filled the tiny laundry room as I opened the dryer door – not because I had this deep desire to fold laundry…nope. Instead, I was looking for tasks to take my mind off the disappointing evening. An evening that left me questioning what on earth I was doing back in the dating scene.  Hours before, I had been looking forward to a lovely dinner meeting someone new. And then…as I was admiring my painted nails looking so pretty in my gorgeous heels, a beep on my phone alerted me of a new message.  While I was on time, early even, waiting in the restaurant lobby as I thought about this first date, mystery man was miles away.“I'm running a little late.  I needed to take care of something.”  So… Listen in for the rest of the story that leads me to today's podcast, focusing on VALUES. Values are things that you believe are important in the way you live, work, and “do” family. They often determine your priorities, impacting every area of your life.  When you live in alignment with your values, you experience more joy and contentment.  But, when things feel out of alignment, like they often can in stepfamilies (especially at the beginning), you experience frustration and chaos. This can be a real source of unhappiness. This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important. Bill and I talk about how this plays out in stepfamily life in today's episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! P.S. Guys – heads up – you just don't go Dutch, ok?We pray you enjoy this episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, and if so, rate and review!   Want even more guidance and support?·        Want to join a community of like-minded Christian stepfamily couples?·        Want to get equipped,  feedback & tips off social media, and blend beautifully together?·        Want to have fun with couples challenges and stepfamily coaching?You do?!

Welcome to Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE! YOU ARE FAMILY HERE!You know when you hear that mysterious rattle as you're driving in your car? Sure you do, it's the sound that mysteriously disappears the moment you attempt to explain it...well, reenact it, really, when you're chatting with the mechanic. Your mechanic may raise his eyebrows at you as you hiss, screech, or make some other, "what the heck is wrong with my car" sound...but, he will listen. And...he'll pull your car into the shop to assess what's going on.Bill and I propose the same strategy when it comes to your marriage.  I know. I know. Ideally, we'd assess things before the sr!e**^e*ch!*!! happens, but you and I know that's not how things go down. Nope, we are definitely starry-eyed and in love and fully expect that love to get us over the hurdles of blending.When we discover the time is ripe for gathering specific tools to gain momentum and develop a marriage mindset, it's a good time for an assessment.  It's also a great time to find others who have gone before you to help encourage and guide you along the way.I'm curious, How often do you and your partner talk about your marriage mindset? Ready to Start With You and recapture that starry-eyed love affair?  Great! Let's get started!In today's episode Bill and I continue the exploration of what it means to Start With You. Now that you've been together for a bit, a sneaky little thing called unmet expectations can begin to  sabotage your starry-eyed love affair.That's why it is so important that you START WITH YOU! Because friends, YOU are where it's at!We pray you enjoy this episode of Stepfamily Mission POSSIBLE!, and if so, rate and review!  Want even more guidance and support?·        Want to join a community of like-minded Christian stepfamily couples?·        Want to get equipped,  feedback & tips off social media, and blend beautifully together?·        Want to have fun with couples challenges and stepfamily coaching?You do?!

Join Dr. Holmes and she speaks with Dr. David Smith of Joni & Friends about intentional work on strong marriages and family and how the church/faith community can be part of a support for a family with special needs.Dr. David W. Smith is a 28-year pastoral veteran with advanced training in theology and church and non-profit leadership. David holds a BA in theology and missiology and a Masters of Arts in biblical studies from International Baptist College and Seminary, a Master of Divinity from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry in church and non-profit leadership and administration from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary. David is a certified church consultant with the Society for Church Consulting, a certified marriage facilitator with SYMBIS, and a certified course instructor for Beyond Suffering: A Christian View of Disability Ministry through the Christian Institute on Disability, Joni & Friends International Disability Center.David approaches living with disability and disability ministry from a unique personal and professional perspective. His more than a quarter-century of pastoral ministry gives him the vantage of understanding the hearts and minds of faith-based sector leaders as “one of their own.” The fact that he’s devoted his life and career to serving people and families living with disabilities through Joni and Friends affords him access to some of the world’s leading minds on serving the disability community. Perhaps more than anything, it’s David’s own family that is the clarion call to serve people living with disabilities. David and his high school sweetheart, now wife of almost 28-years, Heather, have three beautiful children, Sullivan, Abigail, and León. All three of David and Heather’s children live with disabilities. His role as a husband, father, pastor, and disability leader drives David to work toward realizing a world where every person affected by disability finds hope, dignity, and belonging in a welcoming and including church whose culture has been radically transformed by grace, love, and acceptance.You can find out more about camps and opportunities mentioned in the podcast at https://www.joniandfriends.org/

Show notes can be found at claysteves.com/podcast  Kay Gackle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist both in the state of Oklahoma and Florida. She has additional training in EMDR for trauma work, Gottman method for marriages, and SYMBIS for premarital counseling.  Kay has a passion to see people find freedom and get healing from past trauma.  Her passions also include helping parents by partnering and equipping them with learning tools that can help them effectively raise their children.  One highlight in this convo for me was learning about how joy and sorrow come from the same place in our brains, and our ability to deeply experience these emotions are inversely proportional to each other. I am a vocal proponent of professional counseling. It has helped me heal and equipped me along my journey, and the wisdom Kay shares in this convo only reinforces my belief in the benefit of having a healthy, thoughtful, centered counselor in one's life.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! From everyone at Stay Forth Designs we hope that even in the midst of these interesting times you have a blessed day with your those closest to you. On today's episode of the podcast Alan sits down with Jeff and Terra Mattson for a great conversation about warning signs leaders need to be aware of and pay attention to. Jeff and Terra recently spoke at our Healthy Leaders Summit.  About Jeff and Terra Living Wholehearted founders Jeff & Terra Mattson are passionate about living lives that reflect integrity, healing, and authenticity. They met in 1998 at Seattle Pacific University where they first began to hone their skills and passion for leadership and relationships under Psychologists and relationship experts Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, Theologians Drs. Tim & Kerry Dearborn and Dr. Rick Steele, as well as attorney and change-agent, Dr. Skip Lee. Later influences have included CEO & Executive Director of the Charitable Murdock Trust Dr. Steve Moore, Bill Thralls and Bruce McNicol of Trueface Ministries, Dr. Michelle Watson-Canfield of the Abba Project, Dr. Ken Canfield of the National Center for Fathering, and their own Pastor and his wife, Bill & Kathy Towne. Together, Jeff & Terra have over 20 years of experience in the helping professions and leadership development. Jeff holds a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington and has decades of experience as a leader in start-up companies, family businesses, and non-profit organizations including universities and ministry settings. Since 2011, he has worked with business and organizational leaders to develop their potential and solve the people-issues that keep them up at night!  He is master-level certified in the Core Values Index (CVI) and a certified facilitator of Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott’s SYMBIS program (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts).  Some of his organizational development clients include TriMet, ASSIST International, Bridgewell Resources, Subway, Stoel Rives Law Firm, The Dentist Off Main, Door to Grace, and Rolling Hills Community Church. Terra holds a master’s degree in Marriage & Family Therapy from George Fox University in Portland, Oregon. She is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor and now works as an executive coach. For the last fifteen years, she has run a thriving private practice while presenting to women, couples, and leaders in various settings including the American Association of Christian Counselors World Conference (2009, 2011, 2017). She is the Clinical Director for Living Wholehearted Counseling and has served as an adjunct professor with George Fox University’s Graduate Counseling Department. She has previous experience in community mental health, human resources, entrepreneurship, and pastoral/church ministries. She is the author of Courageous: Being Daughter Rooted in Grace (David C. Cook, 2020) and the visionary for the Courageous Gathering, a virtual conference-on-the-go resourcing women for the issues of today.  Together, Jeff and Terra co-authored Shrinking the Integrity Gap: Between What Leaders Preach and Live (David C. Cook, 2020) and founded a global movement, Courageous Girls, an online resource to help moms navigate the needs of their daughters at every stage of their growing years. They are the co-hosts of the Living Wholehearted Podcast and run the Living Wholehearted Lodge and Retreat. They truly enjoy having to live what they preach as they teach, speak, write, and lead together.  The Mattson’s and the Living Wholehearted Team are a trusted resource for the community. Many people ask how counseling, leadership coaching, and organizational development all go together. It’s simple. Though we all try to compartmentalize our lives, we were never meant to live that way. Attempting to segregate our heart from our mind, or our work from our home, or our pain from our story, impacts all of our relationships, with ourselves, God, and others. Combining the disciplines of counseling, coaching, and organizational development makes for a well-rounded approach that is rarely offered. Their clinical team of counselors help those who are ready to embrace their pain and walk towards wholeness. Their executive coaches and organizational leadership team come alongside business and organizational leaders who seek to help their people thrive at work and life.  Often this means helping leaders unravel the complexities of relationships within their particular venues. Whether a family or a large organization, all are systems made up of the most valuable resources…people. Living Wholehearted was formed to help these systems thrive, and then influence for the greater good. Jeff & Terra currently live outside Portland, Oregon raising their two teen daughters. In their spare time, they love adventures in the great outdoors, including fly-fishing, camping, and outdoor movies. Jeff is a singer/songwriter and lover of all things college football (Go Ducks!). Terra enjoys painting with her youngest daughter or reading a book alongside with her oldest. She loves deep conversations alongside a gooey caramel latte and long walks on the beach (with or without Jeff). Some of their favorite authors and thinkers include Bob Dylan, Henri Nouwen, Dietrich Bonheoffer, the guys at Trueface Ministries (Bill, Bruce, & John), Curt Thompson, and of course, C.S. Lewis. Connect with Jeff and Terra Living Wholeharted Take your next right step Leadership Unboxed Right Side Up Journal Explore Coaching

In this global and multi-cultured context, it is more important than ever that we have a deep awareness, consideration, and appreciation of how we are alike and how we are different as humans. Coaches need to be aware of and manage our own biases to serve our clients effectively.    Dive in with today’s guests and:   - Grasp the importance of going into each coaching relationship and session with an open mind that’s culturally competent and ready to serve people from all walks of life.    - Learn the unforced rhythms of grace that abound when we approach coaching with curiosity so we can become more aware of and honor the variety of cultures in our world.    - Experience the value of better understanding various people and setting aside bias to help our clients follow the call of God on their lives.      Learn more about the upcoming Culturally Competent Coaching course which begins 11/10 at https://professionalchristiancoaching.com/culturally-competent-coaching/   About Cindy Schmelzenbach Cindy is a Professional Certified Coach, a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and a Conversational Intelligence® Enhanced Practitioner.

He and his wife Leslie are a husband-and-wife team who not only share the same name, but the same passion for helping others build healthy and stronger relationships. Dr. Parrott explains that a marriage can only be as strong as the two spouses in it and that often times we need to first work on strengthening ourselves before we can tackle issues in our marriages.
