What Am I Feeling?
https://www.youtube.com/live/qPXJGJyg7z8 Have you ever had a moment where you suddenly realized that what truly matters isn't all the hustle, the accomplishments, or even the legacy you're trying so hard to build? That was Josh, standing in his driveway on a vacation in Florida, juggling his entrepreneurial dreams while feeling the weight of parenting. He was caught in that mental struggle we all face—balancing the demands of work and family, trying to get everything done while making sure He's present for the moments that really matter. Then a friend said something that stopped him in my tracks: “You'll never have a six-month-old son again.” Those words hit him hard. It wasn't just a reminder about the fleeting nature of time; it was a call to be present, to focus on what truly matters—his family—a call to be famous at home.

We often spend so much time focusing on what we can achieve that our families end up getting our leftovers. But what if I told you that the secret to true success—both at home and in business—comes from creating emotional safety in your family? During my conversation with Josh Straub, co-author of Famous at Home, we dove deep into this idea of emotional safety as the foundation for everything else. Whether you're raising kids, building a business, or nurturing a marriage, emotional safety is the core element that allows you and your loved ones to thrive.

Emotional Safety: The Foundation of Lasting Relationships Josh and his wife Christy started their journey by asking a simple but profound question: What matters most when we look back on our lives? After facing their own challenges early in parenting—including colic, acid reflux, and the stress of family illnesses—they realized that despite all the advice from parenting experts, the one thing that truly mattered was creating emotional safety in the home. Emotional safety isn't just about keeping the peace; it's about making sure that your family feels heard, seen, and loved.

Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.” Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“ Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“ Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
Picture this: you're standing in the kitchen knocking out your daily chores. Your spouse is sitting on the back patio reading. All the kids are young adults and out of the house. Do you recognize the person in the kitchen? Are you friends with the person sitting on the patio? We hear it all the time, the kids were the one connection point in your marriage and now that they're gone, so is that connection. Today Lisa and Jamie discuss what we can do in the thick of parenting today that can help us not get to that place in the future! Today's experts are Dr. Josh and Christy Straub from the Famous At Home podcast that focuses on emotional and family wellness. They also author two children's books called What Am I Feeling and What Do I Do With Worry? Josh and Christy share how it's so much more important to dive into the hearts of one another rather than dive into the schedule of the week, budget, what the kids are doing, etc. What is going on in each other's hearts matters more than what's going on between the two of you. Please know that what every marriage needs and is able to get will look different from couple to couple, and will look different in various seasons of parenting. Josh and Christy challenge us with a 15 minute exercise that every couple can do to continue building the marriage that will outlast the kids in your home!

Josh knows from experience that when you truly experience God's love, the chase stops. Listen in to hear practical ways you can stop this chase and cultivate an environment of peace & joy at home and to those around you.

This week Mike and Sarah talk with authors Dr. Josh and Christi Straub about their latest book, What Do I Do With Anger? Anger can show you what's deep in your heart. Naming that feeling can bring a fresh start. Alex is angry. His teammate won't pass him the soccer ball, no matter how often he calls for it, which is not fair! Thankfully, Coach Ryan knows how to tame the "fireballs of anger" that rise inside us, and he helps Alex do just that. With this relatable story, authors Dr. Josh and Christi Straub show how anger is a secondary emotion, covering up deeper feelings such as embarrassment, betrayal, grief, or fear. Alex's story offers practical and biblical wisdom for how to help children manage their anger while uncovering the emotion behind it. Dr. Josh And Christi Straub are speakers, authors and marriage and leadership coaches. Together, they lead Famous at Home, an organization equipping families and leaders to be famous at home, so they can thrive on their stage. Both Fellows of the Townsend Institute for Leadership and Counseling, together they host the weekly “Famous at Home” podcast, write children's books, including “What Am I Feeling?,” “What Do I Do with Worry?” and “25 Days of the Christmas Story.” Josh and Christi also recently released a new book called “Famous at Home: 7 Decisions for Putting Your Family Center Stage in a World Competing for Your Time, Attention, and Identity.” Josh and Christi love spending time on the lake with their three sweet kids, Landon, Kennedy and Micah, and their feisty goldendoodle, Copper.

What is emotional safety? Look at it this way: an emotionally unsafe relationship is a place where you can’t be yourself. You’re walking on eggshells. You can’t share your emotions because when you do, they’re going set off an explosive or guilt-inducing response from the friend, parent, spouse, or boss you’re talking to. In this episode, Dr. Joshua Straub shares what makes you an emotionally safe person. Are you willing to press into and sit with the emotions of another person, even when it’s uncomfortable? It takes work, but the payoff is authentic intimacy. Grab your Java and join us! Guest: Josh Straub with Josh & Christi Straub (Check out the podcast!)

Do you have a morning routine? Do you like the idea of routines or do you avoid them? While there are many recommendations for the “ideal” morning routine, I would like to invite you to a practice which brings us closer to ourselves, to the greater Being we all are and to the unique form life takes individually as us. In remembering our connection to life, and getting to know our own forms, we can then check in with our own unique needs. When our needs are met, we have access to our greatest capacity, we step in to the river of life, and we thrive. Morning Routine Self-Questions•Who Am I? •I am! (Feel in to this each morning, for even a breath)•What Am I Feeling?

Josh and Christi Straub are speakers, authors, and marriage and leadership coaches. Together, they lead Famous at Home, an organization equipping families and leaders to be famous at home, so they can thrive on their stage.

This is a devotional perfect for families of all shapes, sizes, and schedules. Each of the 25 days highlights a different person, place, or object from the Christmas story—from the prophet Isaiah to Baby Jesus, from the Christmas star to the gift of frankincense. All devotions include an easy-to-read story, character trait, activity, and more—each designed to reinforce the main theme of the day. Your family can choose simply to read each day’s story or to go deeper and engage with each day’s features. Either way, parents and children are sure to learn and celebrate the season of Advent together while having fun in the process! A true heirloom in the making, the book includes pages in the back where parents and kids can record memories of each day’s activities and write journal entries to look back on year after year, Christmas after Christmas.

Your story matters and deserves to be told. That's the heart and message of this episode with our friend, CEO of Onsite Workshops, Miles Adcox. An unexpected consequence of social isolation is how it's forcing many of us to look at some pain or grief, maybe within our marriage, or within ourselves, that we hadn't taken time to address. If you feel burdened, this episode will bless you. In this episode, we all share our own therapeutic journeys and how we continue to find freedom by prioritizing our own unique stories. Miles does a great job of helping us see, at a deep level, what emotional wellness can look like and why it matters. No matter what you might be experiencing right now during social isolation, this conversation will fill your heart and mind with grace and compassion.

With kids out of school, finances taking a hit, spouses working from home, and everyone stuck together in close quarters, we talk about why family routines matter. We also share what we're doing specifically for the weeks ahead. Christi ends the episode with a great reminder though, that whatever you do, give yourself grace, focus on your home, and don't compare to what you see everyone else doing.

Being famous at home requires that we become students of our kids. That we pay attention to what brings them alive and what shuts them down. Our resident therapist, Sissy Goff, joins us this week to talk about how we can better know our girls, especially when they worry. If you haven't heard Sissy before, and you have a daughter, this is an episode you won't want to miss. She begins by helping us understand some of the causes of the anxiety epidemic in girls today--from the biological to the generational, and even how we as parents tend to handle it. Here are some highlights from this week's episode: Sissy describes the two most common parenting strategies as parents, why they make sense, but why they're not helpful.A simplistic definition of anxiety for girls that helps us practically be able to help our girls realize they are bigger than the thing they are afraid of. The one primary strategy for helping your daughter overcome fear.How you can help your young daughter who is afraid of going to sleep or sleeping in her own beds overcome that fear.Why grades are so anxiety-producing for girls today.Practical exercises to help our girls of all ages overcome anxiety.

Moments matter. Unfortunately, we live such busy lives, we rarely soak them all in. Families who don’t take time to celebrate and rest, get caught up in the cultural tide of making, “So busy,” the badge of honor answer to the question, “How are you?” Being busy is not a badge of honor. Of the most productive and successful people we know, celebration is a priority. In this episode, we talk about: How to celebrate the good in your lifeHow to celebrate the good in the lives of those who look to you for affirmation--namely, your spouse and kidsHow to celebrate dailyHow to celebrate weekly When we fail to celebrate, we act like our accomplishments and influence on others didn't happen. Let's stop minimizing our value in the world and celebrate. Show Notes: Submit a question or topic for an upcoming episode by clicking here. To download the 7 Core Decisions ebook, click here.

This week, we discuss what it means to "show up." Contrary to what we might think, showing up is rarely easy. Showing up for our loved ones requires quite a bit of energy. In other words, as Christi describes in this episode, showing up requires energy to do the things that matter, even when we don't want to do them. It's like the energy it takes to choose salad over pizza, or working out over sleeping in. Choosing to get on the floor and play trains, or have a tea party, with your kids requires intention. Choosing to show up for your spouse in his / her insecurity or difficult day require energy. But it's that very energy that brings life, not just to those we love, but to our own souls as well. In this episode, we also talk about what it means to show up in our relationship with God, and how the investments of "showing up" today, pay dividends over time.

So often, we stay living on the surface because life has a way of keeping us there. We go to work. We take the kids to school. We all come home, grab dinner, and get ready for bed. Repeat. Unless we get intentional about using key moments in the day to talk about emotions, our homes can become a microcosm of the culture around us--with few people feeling heard or understood. The longer this goes on, the further apart we grow from our spouse and kids. In this episode, we talk about why it's important to talk about emotions, and how to begin doing so. We focus primarily on listening to and understanding your kids, but also how to create the environment of emotional language throughout the environment of your home. We specifically talk about: The difference between emotional safety, empathy, and emotional intelligence Why these terms matter for how we lead others and parent our kidsPersonal examples of differentiating our kid's emotions from their behaviorHow we talk about emotions in our marriageHow to help our kids feel valued and understood Show Notes: To purchase the What Am I Feeling? children's book, click here.

When things aren't going well at home, we feel it. The toll that the pace and added emotional pain of our day has on our marriages and most important relationships can feel overwhelming, and even unmanageable. This week's episode is the beginning of the powerful, life-changing stories you'll hear as we journey through each of the decisions. In this episode, we interview Jerrad and Leila Lopes about their rock bottom moment as a family, and the one decision each of them made to begin their ascent back to one another. Prepare yourself. These two were serious about their decisions! Jerrad and Leila are proof that our circumstances do not need to remain unmanageable. As we like to say, you can't eat an elephant in a day. Leila's one decision, one-bite-at-a-time mentality, got the process started. Sometimes, all it takes is just one person. Leila's one decision was the catalyst Jerrad needed to begin making his own decisions and move him from a place of deep brokenness, to a thriving ministry today. Out of his brokenness he founded DadTired.com, a non-profit ministry focused on equipping men to lead their family well. He hosts the weekly Dad Tired Podcast, listened to by hundreds of thousands of men from around the world. Jerrad and Leila live in Portland, Oregon with their three children. Their story will inspire you to name your one decision and get moving in a new direction! Show Notes: Purchase Jerrad's new book, Dad Tired and Loving It, by clicking here.

Our "Best of" summer series concludes this week with one of our most downloaded episodes of this past season. We believe it speaks to where we are as a culture with the hustle we feel. This episode is about bringing freedom to your life through practical, easy-to-implement, daily habits. The modern world is a machine of a thousand invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy, and depressed people. The trouble is that our habits are almost invisible to us. In fact, habits form us more than we form them. So what can we do about it? Welcome to The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose in an Age of Distraction. In this week's episode, we interview Justin Whitmel Earley, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer who nearly crashed and burned in his own panicked lifestyle. As a husband and father to four young boys, Justin knew he needed help. In what turned out to be a fateful moment of self-discovery, Justin's compelling story led him to create The Common Rule, four doable daily and four weekly habits designed to help us create new routines and transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. Looking for a doable routine for your family that leads to freedom and rest for your soul? This episode is for you. Show Notes: To purchase The Common Rule, or to learn more, click here.

I'm with the delightful Christi Straub. Christi is a licensed family and marriage counselor. Christi shares about the challenges she sees most families facing today. She also talks about why owning and naming emotions is so crucial, both for parents and children. In this episode we discuss: 1. Breaking the busy cycles in family life 2. The most important thing our children need from us 3. Why emotional safety is a vital part of your family's health Favorite quotes: 1. I think once we start to really see ourselves as just a human, or our spouses as human, and our kids as humans, we start to recognize our individual strengths and weaknesses and we're not trying so hard to create little super beings that they're not going to be. There's a whole lot of rest and peace and purpose that comes from that! 2. A feeling is just a feeling, it's not in charge of you. 3. We have to first name and recognize what we're feeling in order to gain control of it so it doesn't get to control us. 4. Are we creating an environment that is emotionally safe? Meaning that emotions are talked about and that starts with us. Are we modeling emotions? In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How can I get my kids to do chores? They're 6 and 8. (47:54) 2. What is your take on the law of attraction? (51:46) 3. How do I know if I'm ready for a business coach? (56:51) Links to great things we discussed: 1. Christi Straub 2. What Am I Feeling 3.

Josh and Christi are the real deal. Highly educated, faith-filled, and articulate communicators. In today's special interview episode, we talked about what it takes to have an emotionally safe marriage. We discussed the "fight, flight, or freeze" response to trauma in your marriage, as well as our tendency to gloss over or forget to utilize 'emotion language' as couples. We enjoyed our conversation, and we trust that will too! More resources from Josh and Christi Straub: Book: What Am I Feeling?

We can get so busy that we allow culture to dictate who we are as a family, rather than our family influencing the culture around us. In this episode, we talk about some of the critical first steps in discovering what makes your family unique. And as Christi so eloquently states, "Your uniqueness is so normal to you, that you often can't see it." That's because our family purpose is often hidden within the generations that went before us--the family stories, patterns, and even moments of overcoming difficult circumstances. In this episode, we outline the beginning steps to discovering your family purpose and why it's important for your kids.

As much as you may want to, you can’t actually control which emotions arrive at any given time. You can, however, control how you respond to them when you are tuned in and paying attention. Becoming more aware of your emotional state gives you greater agency over your choices, behaviors, and ways of relating. In this episode, learn a simple three-step process that can help you increase your emotional acuity and become more intentional with how you choose to respond. LESSONS: We must be increase our emotional acuity if we want to be intentional with our choices. Tuning in to your emotional state is similar to tuning in to your physical state. A three step-process can help to increase your emotional awareness: Where Am I Feeling? : a full body scan to check-in with the physical sensations of your emotions. What Am I Feeling? : expand your emotional vocabulary and use more descriptive words to identify which feeling is arriving. How Do I Want to Respond? : make intentional choices with how to move forward with greater awareness of the emotion that is at play.
