    Sep 3 2024
    Parenting struggles are real. Screentime. Discipline. Anxiety.

    But what if we’re focused on the wrong things?
    Instead of trying to fix and manage the problems, what if we lived out the solution?
    What if the environment we cultivate is the very thing our children need?

    Welcome to episode 4 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

    In this episode, Josh talks about their current parenting journey, the two competing worldviews that influence how kids experience joy, and how we can give our kids permission to experience joy!

    Here are some highlights:
    • How two competing worldviews influence the amount of joy in our home
    • Why we need permission to experience joy
    • Why resourcefulness is a cheat code for helping kids live joyful lives
    • The one way to step into joy this week as a family, no matter how difficult the season you find yourself in right now

  • How We Practice Sabbath [Cultivating Spiritual Growth in Your Home 3 of 5]

    How We Practice Sabbath [Cultivating Spiritual Growth in Your Home 3 of 5]
    Aug 27 2024
    Welcome to episode 3 of 5 in our Summer Series called, Cultivating a Spiritual Growth Environment in Your Home.

    There are many misconceptions about what practicing the Sabbath, or ceasing from work, really entails. People often view Sabbath as a day for lounging around the house, binging a show on Netflix, or just doing nothing. Those things can be fine, but do they really bring about "soul rest?"

    In this episode, Josh and Christi go in-depth about the purpose and meaning of Sabbath, and the unique ways they have learned to cultivate it in their home.

    Josh and Christi talk about:
    • Shabbat dinner as a fun, family-centric rhythm for your weekly Sabbath
    • Why Sabbath rest is a gift from God and how you can make it work to fit your family dynamic
    • How to fight against the pull of Western culture away from the biblical gift of Sabbath
    This series comes with a pdf workbook / discussion guide to go along with all five episodes (found in show notes below). You can use them in your small groups, with your spouse, or as a companion guide to the content.
