What if one of the most important things we teach our kids is how to handle hurt...without hurting back? In this episode, Wendy and Terry unpack revenge misbehavior, one of the four mistaken goals of behavior taught inside Fresh Start Family and featured in Chapter 12 of Fresh Start Your Family. They explore what revenge behavior looks like in everyday family life, hitting, biting, attitude, eye rolls, harsh words, and why it so often comes from a child's deep sense of hurt, unfairness, or disrespect. But this conversation goes deeper than parenting. Wendy and Terry also draw a powerful parallel between the revenge cycles we see in homes and the same power-over, hurt-back patterns playing out in culture, leadership, and politics. When families are taught that force, fear, punishment, and humiliation are the way to control behavior, those same dynamics don't stay in the home, they ripple outward into the world. Inside this episode, you'll hear: What revenge misbehavior really is and how to spot it Why punishment keeps hurt cycles alive instead of ending them The role of humility in breaking revenge patterns How strong-willed kids often react to disrespect and hypocrisy Why the way we handle conflict at home shapes the future of our communities and world If you've ever wondered how to stop the hitting, attitude, or emotional jabs without becoming harsh or permissive, this episode will help you understand the root cause, respond with strength and compassion, and raise kids who know how to handle hurt in a different way. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/313⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.

What if the reason you keep reacting in parenting isn't a mindset problem… but a nervous system one? In this powerful conversation, Wendy sits down with nervous system specialist Carrie Montgomery to talk about how rewiring your brain and regulating your body can completely change the way you love, lead, and parent. They unpack: Why willpower isn't enough when you're in an emotional hijack What's actually happening in your brain during reactive moments How nervous system repair creates real generational change Simple tools (like wall pushes and breathwork) you can use immediately If you're tired of yelling, shutting down, or feeling out of control in hard moments with your kids… this episode will feel like hope. Because when you heal your nervous system, you don't just change your reactions. You change your legacy. ✨ ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/312⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.

In the final episode of the Abrahamic Starter Series, we step back and ask a bold question: If a man actually lived this out — what would his life look like? Not the vague, lonely retirement story our culture sells, but the good life God designed. A faithful husband. A fruitful home. Grandchildren around the table. Debt-free. Assets compounding. A legacy stretching 200 years into the future. We've torn down the broken pop-Christian script. We've reclaimed dominion, dynasty, sacrificial headship, and kingdom-minded money. Now we paint the picture of where that road leads. If you're a dad in your 30s wondering whether there's more than the slow fade of average church life — this episode shows you what you're building toward. This is the Abrahamic vision of the good life.

Parenting a strong-willed child can feel intense, exhausting, and isolating, especially when your kid has big emotions, strong opinions, and a “justice-seeking” spirit that won't quit.

What if nurturing a healthy, shame-free sex life could actually help us become calmer, more patient parents? In this heartfelt and honest conversation, Wendy Snyder is joined by Christian sex educator Carlie Palmer-Webb to explore the powerful connection between intimacy, nervous system regulation, and the way we show up for our families. Together, they unpack how harmful purity culture messages have left many adults disconnected from their bodies, their desire, and their sense of safety, and how healing our relationship with sex can ripple outward into our marriages and parenting. Carlie shares her personal journey growing up in purity culture, why so many women struggle with shame, pain, or obligation around sex, and how education, compassion, and curiosity can open the door to truly connected intimacy. Wendy reflects on how emotional and physical connection in marriage fuels patience, regulation, and resilience at home, especially for parents working hard to break generational cycles. This episode is a validating, hopeful invitation for couples to reclaim intimacy as something life-giving, empowering, and deeply supportive of the family legacy they're building. ➡️ Head to ⁠⁠⁠https://www.freshstartfamilyonline.com/309⁠⁠⁠ for more info and links.

Pop Christianity has sold families a version of faith that looks good on the surface, but quietly undermines God's design for marriage, children, and legacy. In this episode, Steven is joined by Jeff Davenport to expose 5 big lies threatening the biblical family and to introduce The Abrahamic Starter Kit—a short, no-fluff series designed to help Christian men step off the spiritual merry-go-round and start building multi-generational faithfulness. This conversation is especially for dads who sense there's more to biblical leadership but haven't had the language or framework to articulate it yet. Stick around, and you'll begin to see your family, faith, and future through a completely different lens.

We're back with Part 2 of this beautiful and honest conversation with Meg and Ea from Tidy Home Nashville. In this half, we move beyond physical spaces and talk about the emotional work — the boundaries, the nervous system resets, the generational cycles we're learning to release.If you've ever felt like you had to do it all, hold it all, or fix it all for everyone else — this is the reminder that you don't.

In this Christmas episode, I'm sharing two of our family's favorite faith-centered traditions (that are simple to execute on and have brought a lot of sweetness and meaning into our December). With little ones at home, I've learned that the best traditions don't need to be complicated to make a big impact, and these are ones my kids look forward to all year long.To see pictures of our family traditions, make sure to check out the blog post for this week's episode: https://elizabethmccravy.com/325 I talk about how these traditions started for us, what they've looked like with kids at different ages, and why they've become such a grounding part of our holiday season. I also share a new rhythm we're adding this year as we head into Advent (something I've tried versions of in the past but am finally ready to jump into more intentionally).If you're looking for faith-centered ideas that feel doable, gentle, and meaningful (especially with toddlers or preschoolers), I think you'll enjoy this one. And if you try any of these traditions in your own home, I'd love to hear how they unfold for you.Other Christmas episodes to tune in to over the holiday season:Episode 297: How to Plan for Christmas to Avoid the OverwhelmEpisode 296: 7 Christmas Tradition Ideas for the Whole Family (+ How to Bring Jesus into Your Home for the Holiday/Advent Season) Episode 191: How to Actually REST This Christmas Season as a Business Owner (Taking Time Off, Holiday Bucketlists, and Business Dreaming)Links Mentioned:Read the full shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/325 Sally Clarkson's Blog:https://sallyclarkson.com/blog/2021/12/19/shepherds-meal-written-on-our-heartsJesus Storybook Bible Advent signup: https://pages.faithgateway.com/jesus-storybook-bible-advent-calendar-printable-free-registration/ Jesus Storybook Bible: https://amzn.to/4pa02oBWandering Wisemen blog: https://www.looktohimandberadiant.com/2015/01/wandering-wise-men-part-1.htmlShop our Showit Website Templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop  Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod  Sign up for the Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb Connect with Elizabeth on Instagram: https://instagram.com/elizabethmccravy Over my 9 years of business, I have learned some financial skills the hard way and a few years ago, I developed an an 8 step process I go through at the end of each month.

Join The Stronger Collective waitlist → www.thestrongerco.com Free Christian Fitness Resources → hub.simplefitnesshabits.com Most Christian women were never really taught how to think about sex, only what to avoid, fear, or feel ashamed of. So when marriage arrives, intimacy often comes with confusion, insecurity, and the lingering feeling that your body isn't “enough.” In this honest (and slightly uncomfortable—but in the best way) episode, Shaela opens the door to the real, grace-filled conversation Christian wives have needed for years. She breaks down the connection between body image, shame, spiritual formation, and intimacy, and why so many women struggle to feel confident when the lights go off and the covers come off. If you've ever wished someone would talk about sex without making it weird, clinical, or worldly… this one's for you. What's inside: Why so many Christian women feel awkward or ashamed talking about sex How purity culture shaped our beliefs about our bodies (and how to heal) The link between body confidence and intimacy in Christian marriage Why feeling “not attractive enough,” “not confident enough,” or “not spiritual enough” affects married intimacy more than you think How your fitness, self-talk, and emotional rhythms influence your sex life How to invite God into places of insecurity, embarrassment, and disconnection God designed intimacy to be good, not guilt-inducing. Healing begins when we gently confront the lies we've believed about our bodies and sexuality, and replace them with biblical truth: Your body is good (Genesis 1). Shame was never God's design (Genesis 2:25). Intimacy in marriage is holy, not embarrassing (1 Corinthians 7). Spiritual maturity doesn't mean avoiding hard conversations—it means inviting Jesus into them. Episode Takeaway Your sex life isn't separate from your spiritual life or your health journey. When you heal shame, nourish your body, and grow your confidence, intimacy becomes lighter, freer, and more connected. This is not about being “sexy.” This is about being whole.

Hold on—K.C.'s fired up! He can't watch football because Disney and YouTube are at war over money. ESPN, ABC, SEC Network—all gone from YouTube TV. Disney says it's about fair value; YouTube says it's about protecting customers. So, what's really going on in this streaming standoff—and how many streaming subscriptions will K.C. have when the dust settles?Meanwhile, the markets are digesting a lot at once: a Fed rate cut, one of the strongest earnings seasons in years, and the longest government shutdown in history, which has stalled key economic data. Historically, shutdowns haven't hurt performance, but this time, timing matters. With more than 80% of S&P 500 companies beating expectations and no fresh reports to guide policy or sentiment, we ask—how much longer can this rally keep its footing?After the break, we tackle how many Americans are trapped by their biggest asset: their homes. And not because of mortgage rates, but because of capital gains. In our example, a widow faces more than $100,000 in capital gains tax if she sells. That's the “lock-in effect” of a $250,000 home-sale exclusion that hasn't changed in nearly 30 years. We'll break down what that means for “everyday millionaires” and explore planning tools like QPRTs, the step-up in basis, or even paying the tax strategically that can make a difference.Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

Have you ever looked around your house and realized you've been moving for hours—but can't remember actually connecting with anyone?That's me in busy weeks: physically present, mentally gone.In this short, practical episode, I share what's really happening in our brains when we're distracted and the simple 2-minute habit I use to come back to the present moment. You'll learn how to calm your nervous system, refocus your mind, and reconnect with your people—even when life feels nonstop.If you're a Christian homeschool mom juggling kids, medical appointments, housework, or just a very full life, this tiny grounding habit will help you feel centered and connected again—without needing a quiet house or a perfect schedule.At the end, I'll pray over you and show you one quick way to record a “fully present moment” in your Life Well Lived Planner so your brain learns to come home faster next time.

Most families just drift from one year to the next, hoping things get better financially. But kingdom-centered families don't just drift along, hoping for the best. They make intentional data-driven decisions.  In this episode, we walk through the annual family financial review: how to lead your home through the numbers, the goals, the giving, and the vision. This is vital because this isn't just about money—it's about stewardship. Your family is a part of God's kingdom. Lead it like one.
