The Conversation with Adam Weber

Today is part 4 of our marriage series and we’re wrapping things up with an incredible couple: Justin & Trisha Davis. Their story? It’s real. It’s raw. In 2002 after planting their first church, Justin had an affair with a staff member (who was also Trisha’s best friend). They walked through four years of deep pain, grief, counseling and by God’s grace… restoration. Here’s the thing… not every hard season happens because of choices we make. A medical diagnosis. A failed business. A struggling child. Family drama. A pandemic. These moments can easily pull us apart or force us to stand together even closer. Justin & Trisha remind us that marriage works best when you choose to face challenges as a team instead of as enemies. We talk about the importance of honesty, vulnerability and turning towards your spouse when things get tough.  This episode is full of practical wisdom and a whole lot of grace. I hope you are encouraged.

Today is part 3 of our marriage series and I had the privilege of sitting down with Nicky and Sila Lee, a well-known couple from England who developed The Marriage Course - a program that’s impacted couples around the world. They’ve been married 49 years (yes, 49 years!) and they share the small but powerful habits that have kept their love strong: praying together, saying thank you (especially for the little things) and making time for regular date nights - even after almost 5 decades of marriage! My favorite part? Watching how they laugh together. They balance each other so well, you can just tell how much they truly enjoy one another. Their wisdom is simple, practical and so encouraging. No matter what season of marriage you are in.

For part 2 of this marriage series, I get to sit down with my friend, pastor and author Gary Thomas and his lovely wife, Lisa, about having a marriage that is built to last.  They’ve been married 41 years (yes, you read that right!) and they share about the ups and downs they faced early on as parents, and the habits that have helped them keep growing together. My favorite part of the conversation? When they talk about how they keep the fun - and yes, even the sex - alive in their marriage!  Tune in for tips on staying connected, loving for the long haul and how to show up together through the years.  Listen to part 1 of the series here: https://sites.libsyn.com/578090/living-on-mission-together-jason-jodi-vanruler-marriage-series-pt-1 To find out more information about the marriage event at Embrace Church visit iamembrace.com/marriage Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: Vern Eide & Mission Haiti Vern Eide Motorcars is a growing employee-owned company that offers sales, service, and financing of automotive, motorcycle, and power sports lines, including Acura, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Honda, Hyundai and Mitsubishi brands.

We’re back with another “Ask Adam Anything” episode and today’s topic is something culture often overlooks: rest. While busyness is celebrated and productivity is praised, Emily and I talk about how true renewal comes when we step back and embrace rhythms of rest. On the flip side, many people think they're overworked and burned out - when it turns out they might just be bored! Work is a gift from God and we should do it with purpose!  Friends, if you’ve ever felt worn out by the constant go-go-go of life, this episode is for you. I encourage you to find your rhythm where you can work hard AND rest hard.

In today’s episode, Emily and I dive into the importance of living a magnetic life - one that attracts others to us (and ultimately to Jesus).  This can be especially difficult when so many Christians are perceived as judgmental and hypocritical (especially because of what we say and post online) which often repels people from wanting to know Jesus or having anything to do with the Church. OUCH! Join us for a conversation filled with practical tips for living out your faith online. We hope you feel encouraged to make some tweaks in your own life and online presence!

In today’s episode I got to sit down with my friend, Carlos Whittaker, and a live audience! Carlos is one of the most life-giving people I know. He is honest, hilarious and always full of hope.  We chat about ways we can reconnect with God, what he’s learned about welcoming grief into his life since losing his dad to dementia almost 6 months ago and the challenges (and joys) of parenting older children. Carlos also shares how he stays young both physically and at heart (it’s probably not what you think!) and we discuss something he does better than anyone I know - bridging gaps between people who are divided.  Listen to Carlos’ last interview on the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/carlos-whittaker-7-weeks-without-a-screen/id1119318768?i=1000665223233  Grab a copy of Reconnected: https://amzn.to/3HoajMZ  Want to Reconnect with God?

Today I’m sitting down with the insightful Jess Connolly… plus one of my amazing team members, Kylee Breems (who just might be Jess’ biggest fan) and a live audience! Jess beautifully shares from her heart about the importance of surrendering control in everything (especially our callings and in parenting).  We talk about the challenges and joys of motherhood & leadership. Plus we hear about her personal journey through grief and resilience, and she offers wisdom on how to navigate life's trials with faith and grace.  Join us for an uplifting conversation filled with laughter, tears and the shared experience of being human.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my amazing assistant Emily, and we’re having an honest conversation about something so many of us wrestle with - how to hear God’s voice in our everyday lives. I open up about some of my own experiences and what it’s looked like to try and tell the difference between God’s nudges and my own thoughts. We talk about the role of scripture, the gift of wise friends and the quiet ways God often speaks when we actually pay attention.

In this episode, I chat with my good friend and the Mayor of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Paul TenHaken.  This interview will sound a little different, as we recorded on one of the busiest streets in our city, Philips Avenue (shoutout to downtown SF, a must-visit if you’re in the area)!  As Paul approaches the end of his term, he shares what he’s learned about leadership and gives super practical tips on how to be a good citizen.  My favorite part? When Paul shares about why (especially as Christians) we need to respectfully speak up, even when it's not popular or it goes against our political party. He also talks about the challenges of transitioning from a public role and how he’s making decisions about what’s next for him and his career (it’s powerful!).  Thanks to our amazing partners on this episode: Mission Haiti & Vern Eide Mission Haiti is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to love Jesus, love others, and make disciples in the country of Haiti.
