Navigating the pre-teen and teen years is an…adventure. Whether your child is approaching this stage or currently putting you through your paces, Jim’s conversation with renowned psychologist, author, and leadership consultant Dr. John Townsend is full of insight into this tumultuous season of parenting. Focusing on John’s book Boundaries with Teens, they discuss how our children should first be viewed with compassion (we were teens once, too!) and how laying out ground rules, expectations, freedom, and consequences provides clarity and empowerment in their own decisions. This is part 1 of our show with Dr. John Townsend - make sure to tune in next week for Part 2!

I think it’s safe to assume that most of us desire a marriage of intimacy. We long to be close to our spouse emotionally, spiritually, and physically - all God-given desires. But as Jim and author, speaker, pastor, and comedian Ted Cunningham point out, that doesn’t mean it’s easy! Our marriages must be approached with intention. You can’t keep waking up each day, doing the same things, and expecting there to be growth - you have to make the decision to implement changes so your intimacy deepens. If that sounds like a lot of work, don’t worry - Jim and Ted say take it one baby step at a time: small, intentional actions each day can lead to a lifelong legacy of intimacy, strength, and lots of fun.

If you had the opportunity to heal, would you take it? It might seem like a silly question, but often, we become so accustomed to our pain, suffering, or grief that it feels like a part of who we are. Yet, true healing requires a conscious decision to pursue it. Today, Jim talks with renowned author, speaker, and founder of New Life Ministries, Stephen Arterburn, about his book Healing Is A Choice. Drawing from his personal experiences, Stephen and Jim explore various aspects of healing, such as connection, grief, and the role of community, while addressing lies we may believe that can block our path to recovery. We all experience pain - whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual - but while only God has the power to heal, the decision to seek that healing is ours to make.

Even marriage experts Greg and Erin Smalley have been where you are!

As parents, we devote at least two decades to raising our children so they can go off into the world as (hopefully) confident, kind, and capable individuals. It’s easy for our identity to get wrapped up in parenthood, but we eventually have to confront who we are once the kids are gone - and that can be intimidating. Jim welcomes author, speaker, and marriage coach Jill Savage to talk about her book Empty Nest, Full Life, and how much joy can be found in the season after kids. From dissolving codependency to reconnecting with your spouse, from reigniting old hobbies to finding new ones, from “bleacher-butt” friends to deep, lasting friendships, this conversation will encourage you to be intentional in whatever stage of parenting you are currently in.
Remember that your children haven’t left your lifeReinvent the relationship with your adult children (they aren’t your major emotional support!)Work out flexible ways to stay in touchReactivate your social lifePractice healthy doses of self-care

Studies show that Gen-Z is the loneliest generation despite the pervasiveness of technology. However, loneliness isn't new; it can be experienced by a single person, a married individual, a person in a church community - even in families. So how do we keep this experience from evolving into a lifelong condition? Jim welcomes author, speaker, and founder of Ruth Graham Ministries, Ruth Graham to discuss her book, Transforming Loneliness: Deepening our Relationships with God and Others When We Feel Alone. Having lived through many seasons of loneliness herself, Ruth shares how being honest with God and a trusted friend opens up the door for transformation - and how loneliness has a positive side if we look for it.
Jim's TakeawaysReplenishing Relationships
We have to seek replenishing relationships. We all have VDPs in our lives - Very Draining People - but I want to focus on VIP’s. Do you have VIP’s in your life? People who really replenish your relationships? We need friendships primarily in two areas:Mentors - do you have someone who can coach you, and give you wisdom and wise counsel? Someone you can imitate? These mentors can also be found in books in certain seasons of our life - but they shouldn’t be your primary mentor.Peer Support - This could be one person or a small group of peers that you are honest and open with - you tell them when you’re lonely, hurting, struggling, etc. A good peer relationship will be someone who shares back, and you can walk alongside, pray with, and encourage each other - and hold you accountable.HomeWord Website: https://homeword.com/

Blended families are a beautiful picture of hope after loss or pain. Two adults find themselves falling in love again and the possibilities seem endless! But - how does blending your family actually work? How do you navigate stepsiblings, former in-laws, money, and parenting? On today’s episode, Jim welcomes renowned blended-family expert Ron Deal to talk about the principles in his book, Building Love Together in Blended Families. Jim and Ron discuss the beauty and complexity of bringing two family units together - and how ‘all you need is love’ is, with all due respect to the Beatles, not going to cut it in the long run.

Have you fallen into a negative thinking pattern when it comes to your marriage? Are you praising your spouse in your mind or are you focusing on the things they do “wrong”? While this is not uncommon, it is a pattern that will not change unless you catch it, address it, and alter it. Jim welcomes writer, author, and speaker Ted Lowe to discuss this concept from his book, Us in Mind: How Changing Your Thoughts Can Change Your Marriage. This episode is one to save, share, and replay whenever you need practical tips and encouragement for strengthening your marriage!

Jim’s Primary TakeawayDoes it really matter?
It’s all too easy to make mountains out of molehills in our marriages. We’re not talking about serious issues like adultery, abuse, or addictions - we’re talking about your spouse leaving the toilet seat up, leaving dirty dishes in the sink, leaving clothes lying around - these are the little things that can lead to arguments. Ask yourself: in the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Have calm conversations around things that really bug you, of course - but recognize when something is not worth the energy (or enmity) against your spouse.

This is the third installment of our Sexual Integrity series. Today, Jim welcomes Dr. Juli Slattery; a clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and the president/co-founder of Authentic Intimacy. This episode focuses on addressing our personal views on sexual integrity. Did we grow up with the topic of sex as off-limits or dirty? Did we believe that sex was a pass/fail test? Jim and Juli discuss how to begin untangling the web of misinformation around sex and spirituality we may have as adults - so we can guide our children on their journey of biblically sound sexual integrity.

This is the second installment of our Sexual Integrity series!

Talking to your kids about sex might feel like a low priority for parents, especially when we hope they'll wait until marriage. However, research shows that positive, value-centered conversations about sex lead to less promiscuity and confusion among children. In today's episode, Jim encourages parents to teach their children about sexual integrity. When kids understand their worth comes from Christ, they can better recognize and resist the world's temptations. Join Jim and special guests over the next few weeks to discuss healthy sexuality and pre-order his new book, A Student’s Guide to Sexual Integrity.

Lead with LoveThis is the message of Jesus. He didn’t agree with those who were going against the morality of the day, but He did lead with love. We should too.Kindness MattersIs it possible to be kind and still hold a biblical worldview? YES, it is!Make sure that our kids understand they were made in the image of GodMake sure they understand that God created them! When God created them, He said it was “very good”!God Loves You UnconditionallyMake sure they know that He loves them completely and unconditionally! -
Did you know that your child’s worldview is practically fully formed by age 13? As followers of Christ, we bear a tremendous responsibility to teach our children not only to know and follow Jesus but also to understand the profound reasons behind their faith. On today’s episode, Jim welcomes renowned researcher and author Dr. George Barna to discuss the vital importance of raising our children with a strong biblical worldview. This conversation is weighty and full of incredible insight into our roles as teachers and godly examples in the home.
Lead with IntegrityIf you live with integrity, you will have kids who will feel secure because of your integrity.Lead with MarginHave enough margin in your family context so that you can avoid poor choices due to busyness. “If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy”.Lead with the Eternal Perspective in mind
Jim’s TakeawaysBe intentional about discipleship. When you’re leading from the eternal perspective, you will parent (and live) differently.
