  • The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear

    The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear
    Feb 18 2026
    The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That’s not hyperbole.

    What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves?

    We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface.

    But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears.

    In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we’re doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions.

  • Why Marriage Feels Hard + How to Break Free with Dr. Emerson Eggerichs

    Why Marriage Feels Hard + How to Break Free with Dr. Emerson Eggerichs
    Feb 4 2026
    Marriage is arguably the most sanctifying relationship on the planet. Just consider the following questions:

    Why is it that we tend to think our spouse is out to get us?
    Why do we assume the worst about him / her?
    What causes us to get so defensive?
    Why do we get so offensive in our reactions?
    Are the offenses we carry worth it?

    Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, best-selling author of Love and Respect, joins us to talk about the lightbulb moments he discovered in 20 years of helping men and women stop living in their crazy cycle. What is the crazy cycle? Consider this: “Without love she reacts without respect. Without respect he reacts without love.”

    But what’s more, Dr. Eggerichs discovered that “without love, defensively she reacts offensively without respect. And without respect, defensively he reacts offensively without love.”

    In this episode, Dr. Eggerichs shares the way out of the cycle through principles like “80/20” and “Seeing God over your spouse’s shoulder.”

    With many incredible convicting and encouraging insights, this is an episode we hope brings your marriage closer together.
