In this episode we unpack how the postmodern church model is designed to yield the results it is producing: pastors that are burning out, & members that are labeled noncommittal. Our desire is to explore what the original intent of the church was as it was described in Ephesians with the various spiritual giftings (apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers, shepherds).

In this episode we unpack our thoughts on tithing and where we’re at in the journey of discovering what it means to be generous as a believer. The conversation was sparked by a discussion I had at a bible study where we talked about someone who gave anonymously because it gave them a freedom to know they were supporting a cause without the baggage of being associated with the amount they were giving.

People prioritize emotions differently which predicates the way we process feelings. We talk about the difference between emotions and feelings and have a discussion on whether or not and how to fold feelings/emotions in our everyday conversation.

In this episode we talk about a podcast clip that Ash listened to where a wife complains to her husband about his lack of intuition in meeting needs around the house. We discuss how stating the problem is a good step towards the solution, but isn’t the solution in and of itself.

In this episode we take time to answer one of your listener questions!
We mention a study on parenting and happiness and there are several publications that compare families with and without kids with (not surprisingly) mixed results. While we won't point to one specific study, factors like income, geography, availability of parental leave, all play a role in parental satisfaction and happiness.
