What if the real key to spiritual transformation isn't trying harder—but receiving love more deeply? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down once again with Drs. Bill and Kristi Gaultiere—spiritual directors, therapists, and founders of Soul Shepherding—to explore what it means to truly receive and reflect God's empathy. Drawing from their new book, Deeply Loved, the Gaultieres invite us to consider a radical truth: that spiritual transformation begins not with striving or self-critique, but with allowing ourselves to be seen, known, and loved—just as we are. Together, we unpack how shame, unconscious resistance, and old emotional wounds can block us from receiving love—from God, from others, and even from ourselves. Through vulnerable stories and spiritual wisdom, Bill and Kristi reveal how empathy heals the deepest fractures in our souls, allowing us to move from performance and perfectionism into grace-filled presence. We explore: Why self-empathy is essential to emotional and spiritual health. How each Enneagram type misses empathy in distinct ways. The difference between tactical and transformational empathy. How empathy, truth, and responsibility work together to produce growth. What it looks like to experience God's empathy even in suffering and loss.

From deeper connection and more appreciation to a few more... heated moments (hi, hormones), we're talking about what this season has brought up for us both.

Episode #1045 You can be the man everyone respects at work and still feel powerless at home. In this episode, Doug and Chris answer real questions from men who feel like they're crushing it in business but falling apart in their marriage. If your wife shoots down your ideas, questions your decisions, or says she's no longer attracted to you, this conversation will hit home. They break down what's really going on when your wife is always in her masculine, how to stop reacting when she tests you, and what it actually means to “be the lighthouse” without shutting down or checking out. You'll also hear how attraction works emotionally for women and what to do if the spark is gone. Spoiler: you have more control over it than you think. This isn't about trying harder or being nicer. It's about showing up with consistency, grounded confidence, and real leadership at home the same way you do at work. And when you do that, everything changes. The truth is, your wife wants to feel safe with you again—but she won't say it that way. She wants to feel your presence, your direction, your edge. If you've lost that connection, this episode is a reminder that you can get it back, but it starts with how you lead yourself. If you want a simple roadmap to rebuild trust and attraction without more long talks or therapy, start with the free training at https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales.

What if everything you believed about luck was wrong? In this perspective-shifting episode, I sit down with Dr. Christian Busch—professor at USC, researcher, and author of The Serendipity Mindset—to explore the idea that luck isn't just something that happens to us. It's something we can actively create. Whether you've felt stuck, unlucky, or just waiting for your big break, this conversation will make you rethink how you move through the world. Dr. Busch explains how the most “lucky” people are often just the most attuned—they notice opportunities others miss, ask better questions, and take action on the unexpected. He breaks down how small behavioral shifts—like using “hooks” in everyday conversations—can turn random encounters into real opportunities. And if you're more introverted? Good news: cultivating serendipity isn't about being loud or flashy. It's about being open, curious, and present. We also explore how busyness, fear of rejection, and autopilot thinking can block you from seeing the luck that's already around you—and what you can do to change that.

Mother-in-law drama? You're not imagining it, and you're definitely not alone. This week, we're joined by Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, a clinical psychologist, author, and relationship expert with over 15 years of experience helping couples communicate and connect better. Together, we unpack the emotional landmines that can show up when your partner's mom is… a lot, and how to set boundaries that protect your relationship instead of tearing it apart. We cover: Why mother-in-law relationships are so complicated. Dr. Tracy explains the hidden power dynamics and emotional expectations that can make them feel tense or competitive. How to stop feeling “stuck in the middle”. Learn practical communication strategies for when your partner and their mom are clashing, or when you're the one feeling left out. The difference between boundaries and ultimatums. Why you don't need to be “the good daughter-in-law” to keep the peace, and how to stand firm without guilt. How to get your partner on the same team. Tips for talking about family tension without triggering defensiveness or blame. When the problem isn't just her. Dr. Tracy helps us look inward at our own triggers, expectations, and patterns that keep us repeating the same dynamic. The role of empathy in de-escalating family conflict. Why empathy for your partner (and even their mom) can shift everything. How to prioritize your partnership above all else. Actionable steps for strengthening your bond and creating a united front, no matter how messy the family dynamic gets. PREORDER "You, Your Husband & His Mother" here!

Theologian Miroslav Volf reflects on solitude, loneliness, and how being alone can reveal our humanity, selfhood, and relationship with God.This episode is part 1 of a 5-part series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”Macie Bridge welcomes Miroslav for a conversation on solitude and being oneself—probing the difference between loneliness and aloneness, and the essential role of solitude in a flourishing Christian life. Reflecting on Genesis, the Incarnation, and the sensory life of faith, Volf considers how we can both embrace solitude and attend to the loneliness of others.He shares personal reflections on his mother's daily prayer practice and how solitude grounded her in divine presence. Volf describes how solitude restores the self before God and others: “Nobody can be me instead of me.” It is possible, he suggests, that we can we rediscover the presence of God in every relationship—solitary or shared.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us WorseFyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and PunishmentRainer Maria Rilke, Book of Hours (Buch der Stunden)Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and FallEpisode Highlights“Nobody can be me instead of me. And since I must be me, to be me well, I need times with myself.”“It's not good, in almost a metaphysical sense, for us to be alone. We aren't ourselves when we are simply alone.”“Solitude brings one back in touch with who one is—it's how we stabilize ourselves so we know how to be ourselves with others.”“Our relationship to God is mediated by our relationships to others. To honor another is to honor God.”“When we attend to the loneliness of others, in some ways we tend to our own loneliness.”Solitude, Loneliness, and FlourishingThe difference between solitude (constructive aloneness) and loneliness (diminishment of self).COVID-19 as an amplifier of solitude and loneliness.Volf's experience of being alone at Yale—productive solitude without loneliness.Loneliness as “the absence of an affirming glance.”Aloneness as essential for self-reflection and renewal before others.Humanity, Creation, and RelationshipAdam's solitude in Genesis as an incomplete creation—“It is not good for man to be alone.”Human beings as fundamentally social and political.A newborn cannot flourish without touch and gaze—relational presence is constitutive of personhood.Solitude and communion exist in dynamic tension; both must be rightly measured.Jesus's Solitude and Human ResponsibilityJesus withdrawing to pray as a model of sacred solitude.Solitude allows one to “return to oneself,” guarding against being lost in the crowd.The danger of losing selfhood in relationships, “becoming echoes of the crowd.”God, Limits, and OthersEvery other person as a God-given limit—“To honor another is to honor God.”Violating others as transgressing divine boundaries.True spirituality as respecting the space, limit, and presence of the other.Touch, Senses, and the ChurchThe sensory dimension of faith—seeing, touching, being seen.Mary's anointing of Jesus as embodied gospel.Rilke's “ripe seeing”: vision as invitation and affirmation.The church as a site of embodied presence—touch, seeing, listening as acts of communion.The Fear of Violation and the Gift of RespectLoneliness often born from fear of being violated rather than from lack of company.Loving another includes honoring their limit and respecting their freedom.Practical Reflections on LonelinessQuestions Volf asks himself: “Do I dare to be alone? How do I draw strength when I feel lonely?”The paradox of social connection in a digital age—teenagers side by side, “completely disconnected.”Love as sheer presence—“By sheer being, having a loving attitude, I relieve another's loneliness.”The Spiritual Discipline of SolitudeVolf's mother's daily hour of morning prayer—learning to hear God's voice like Samuel.Solitude as the ground for transformation: narrating oneself before God.“Nobody can die in my place… nobody can live my life in my place.”Solitude as preparation for love and life in community.About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the Henry B.

Maybe one of the hardest areas to be mindful is in our relationships. People are dynamic creatures- with different personalities, wants, desires and needs- all created by God for good and with purpose. And then God said not to make man alone, so He built us for community with others who are also sinful and dynamic. That said, we have a lot to talk about! Join us and our friend, Christina Richardson, as we discuss how the Bible talks about mindfulness in our relationships and how we navigate them with love, grace and wisdom.

In this gripping episode, the host shares a deeply personal story about teaching two teenagers how to drive — and why awareness on the road can mean the difference between life and death. A tragic crash on I-85 in Georgia that claimed eight lives, including five children and a pregnant woman, becomes a sobering reminder of how distracted and reckless driving — especially among semi-truck operators — is spiraling out of control. From highway safety habits to the decline in trucking standards, this episode blends personal reflection, listener insights, and a hard look at America's driving culture.

A fast-paced episode that stitches together three urgent stories shaking the nation: local officials in Los Angeles declaring a state of emergency amid sweeping ICE enforcement; a devastating, fiery multi-vehicle crash on I-85 that killed eight people (including children); and the fallout from a major hostage release and large prisoner swap in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The hosts parse what “emergency” means when law enforcement, public safety, and political priorities collide — and why ordinary people feel the consequences first.

From election results that don't match voter sentiment to fears of the dark that reveal our primal survival instincts, this episode dives into the forces shaping modern America. We unpack alleged census manipulation that could have stolen up to 25 congressional seats, explore the upcoming Supreme Court race-based redistricting case, and reveal how distorted districts affect budgets, taxation, and representation. Then, we pivot to human nature, examining why men report greater fear of the dark, the evolutionary roots of this instinct, and archaeological evidence showing the dangers our ancestors faced. Finally, we highlight emerging threats to personal freedom, including digital IDs, facial recognition, and the erosion of anonymity in America and abroad.
