We all long for a life worth living. So when we receive news of a frightening diagnosis, suffer heartbreaking loss in our family life, or get trapped in a cycle of our own sin, we might wonder about God. Where is He when we need Him most?In this episode Ray explains that Jesus can be hard to find in the comfortable lives we prefer. Instead, He meets us at rock bottom―where He is waiting for us with open arms. If you're facing hardship or heartbreak, here is some good news — the Man of Sorrows is there to meet you where you need Him most.Matt and Ray talk about “Good News at Rock Bottom” as well as Ray's “Jesus Revolution” days in California in the 70's and their sense that renewal is coming again; his book The Death of Porn and why porn is a justice issue; and how gospel culture is the necessary and beautiful expression of gospel doctrine in our lives and churches.ABOUTRay Ortlund is the president of Renewal Ministries, the pastor to pastors at Immanuel Church in Nashville, and a canon theologian with the Anglican Church in North America.He is a contributor to the ESV Study Bible (the study Bible Matt recommends most!) and the author of several books, including:Good News at Rock Bottom: Finding God When the Pain Goes Deep and Hope Seems LostThe Death of Porn: Men of Integrity Building a World of NobilityYou're Not Crazy: Gospel Sanity for Weary Christians (co-authored with fellow Deep Thoughts guest Sam Allberry)To The Tenth Generation: God's Heart for Your Family, Far into the Future (co-authored with his wife Jani)The Gospel: How the Church Portrays the Beauty of Christ Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel

'Love is the Foundation from which we build everything in life, and it starts at home..." Powerful words of wisdom, from our guest this week - American author & life coach, and fellow Mom, Sonia Jackson Myles. Could we Learn to Love better? How do we love ourselves better? Understanding and embracing the basic meaning of Love, says Sonia, starts at home, in our family life. As children, we learn from our parents - and our kids learn about Love from us. It's the foundational structure that determines how successful we become in life. And Sonia agrees, without Love, we are broken people - it brings that wholesome gratitude to life - especially important as Parents and teachers to our children.

Is Your Church Still the Right Soil for Your Family's Faith? The soil you plant your family’s faith in matters more than we often realize. It’s not just about where you go on Sunday—it’s about the spiritual environment shaping your children’s hearts every single week. And sometimes, the signs that something’s off are easy to miss… until it’s almost too late. In this eye-opening episode, Catherine gets real about a question that many Christian parents quietly wrestle with: “How do I know if it’s time to find a new church home?” Drawing from her own family’s deeply personal (and painful) church transition, Catherine walks through six red flags that might mean your current church isn’t cultivating the spiritual growth your family needs. They are: When churches skip parts of the Bible.If whole books or tough topics are off the table, your kids won’t get the full truth they need to stand firm in their faith. When the flesh goes unchallenged.A feel-good message might draw a crowd, but if no one’s being stretched or sanctified, something’s missing. When there’s a disconnect between evangelism and discipleship.Getting people in the door is important—but so is growing deep roots. If your church leans too hard one way, it leaves gaps that can stunt faith. When charisma outweighs character.A church built around a magnetic personality rather than godly integrity can quickly become a breeding ground for spiritual fallout. When the Holy Spirit has no room to move.Programs and polish are fine—but without the Spirit’s power, real transformation doesn’t happen. When the youth group is spiritually flat.If the next generation isn’t fired up for Jesus, it’s time to ask some hard questions about what seeds are (or aren’t) being sown. With honesty, compassion, and hard-won wisdom, she shines a light on issues that are often ignored—but have huge consequences. This isn’t about being picky—it’s about being purposeful. Catherine reminds us that the stakes are high when it comes to our kids’ spiritual formation. The cost of change can be steep, but the fruit of a thriving, Spirit-led church family is worth every step. In this episode, you’ll also learn: Why glossing over hard truths sets kids up for weak faith How to spot signs of spiritual stagnation in your home The warning signs of a numbers-driven, personality-centered church culture What to look for in a youth group that truly disciples your kids Encouragement for parents facing tough church decisions Mentioned Resources: ✨ Catherine’s free Prodigal Bundle: Hope-filled tools, Scripture lists, and encouragement for parents of prodigals → Download it here

How might public policy positively impact our drastically declining birth rate?President Trump has suggested that all new parents receive a one-time $5,000 payout in the hopes of encouraging people to have more children. You likely had some kind of strong reaction to this statement. Whether that was surprise at a Republican recommending a social support, concern about forcing people to have more kids, or annoyance at how insignificant an amount is on the table—you're definitely not alone. It's clear that people are having fewer babies these days. But it's the reasons behind this fact that are sometimes in question and need to be addressed. In this episode, I take a closer look at, and share my thoughts on, how policy has—and potentially could—impact plummeting birth rates in the U.S. and beyond. Consider the interplay between public policy and early childhood care, including:The statistical divide between how many kids women want and how many they're having;The glaring problems that get in the way of having children in today's economy;The family-friendly policies we've seen proposed, passed, and tabled til now;How far we need to take these initiatives if we want to reverse the birth rate decline.Related Links:Episode 479, America's Parents Are Not Okay - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode479Episode 489, How the Cost of Childcare Has Become a Workforce Issue - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode489Episode 495, New Prenatal Leave Law Benefits Pregnant Workers in New York - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode495Episode 451, The Impact of Return-To-Office Mandates on Working Moms - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode451Senior Living News, Help Address the Population's ‘Inverted Pyramid' - https://www.seniorlivingnews.com/help-address-the-populations-inverted-pyramid/New York Times, American Women Are Having Fewer Children Than They'd Like - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/13/upshot/american-fertility-is-falling-short-of-what-women-want.htmlNew York Times, Stay-at-Home Parents Work Hard.

We just launched our second children's book (woohoo!) and wanted to share exactly how we did it, step by step, using Amazon KDP. This is hands-off income that ANYONE can do—yes, even you! In today's convo, we break down the misconceptions that stop people from ever starting—like thinking you need to be creative, tech-savvy, or have a huge budget. Spoiler: you don't. From coloring books to scissor skill books, journals to productivity planners, we explain how low-content books are the sweet spot for busy moms and creative dreamers alike. We even share how a 12-year-old inspired us at a conference with her DIY coloring book! We walk through how Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) works—basically, Amazon prints and ships your book on demand, so there's no need to buy inventory upfront. Whether you're using Canva, hiring help on Fiverr, or using AI tools like ChatGPT to help write the story, there are endless ways to create beautiful books quickly and easily. We also dive into two types of creators: the passion project folks (we see you legacy-builders!) and the strategic sellers who want to make real income. For those in the second group, Stephen breaks down how to use keywords, categories, and white label content to build a product that people are actually searching for. PLUS—we share the resource we love that teaches this whole process in-depth (linked below!). So if you've ever said, “I want to make a book someday,” let this be your wake-up call. You can do this—and we're cheering you on every step of the way.
