So we decided to sit down and record it, transparent and unedited. In light of our new book Famous at Home: 7 Decisions to Put Your Family Center Stage in a World Competing for Your Time, Attention, and Identity coming out May 3, this episode becomes our "Hi, we're Josh and Christi episode" to give you the heart behind where Famous at Home began!

Your kids are creative. You know why? Because God created them to follow His lead in the creation of the world. Our good friend, author Jordan Raynor was tired of reading children's books that always ended creation on the sixth day. Instead, he says, "the sixth day is actually the beginning of creation!" In this episode, Josh has a conversation with Jordan Raynor about his new children's book The Creator in You. Josh and Jordan talk about the way God invites us into a partnership with Him of creating beauty and how you can extend that invitation to your kids. This conversation is sure to inspire your kids with joy and enthusiasm in both their current and future work.Show Notes:Preorder a copy of The Creator in You!

As a family, we recently experienced a situation that left us feeling surprised and let down. Walking away from it, we had the choice to either sit in our disappointment, or pay attention to what God was saying. How has your family experienced disappointment? How did that play out in your marriage? With your kids? Do you find yourself playing the victim or looking for the gold in what God could be teaching you? In this episode, we talk about how to walk in authority and stay the course as a family, in the midst of disappointment. Show Notes:Preorder Famous at Home: 7 Decisions to Put Your Family Center Stage in a World Competing for Your Time, Attention, and Identity!

We have one of those unique humans in our lives who just lives what he says he lives. He said recently, "I don't idealize certain values. If I hold to a value, I just go do something to live out that value." It was a convicting moment for us. What about you? Do you find yourself idealizing certain values, or do you find yourself actually living them? In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about how they're closing the gap between what and who they aspire to be and who they are. Are you, based on your decisions, the person you want to be? Is your family living out the values you desire? This inspiring episode will help you close the gap. Show Notes:PREORDER THE FAMOUS AT HOME BOOK.
