Famous at Home

Welcome to season 4, where we spend each episode either honoring or talking to “The People Who Shape Us.”Make no mistake, we are who we spend time with — for better or worse. Whether it’s parents, mentors, friends, or extended family, we take time this season to let you in on the people who shape us, why connection is so difficult to find, and why we have to war for healthy relationships.  In this episode, we introduce season 4 talking about why healthy relationships seem so elusive, and what we have to do to find them.  Note: Registration for Cohort II of Tender & Fierce and The Field Experience ends soon.

Every individual is given gifts and talents, ways they can influence the lives of those around them for the better. Even more, every family is unique. The currencies you value as a family define how you live. What are your values? The currencies that shape your family? Is it time together? Certain hobbies or activities? Adventure? Or perhaps achievement? You may even find that the values you live by are not the values you want to be living by. That’s what the matrix does. It sucks us into living a burdened life. As we keep looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the question, “Why are we doing what we are as a family?” this episode is a conversation on vision, direction, and purpose. In other words, “What is your family’s uniqueness?” We start the episode with a humbling exercise and end it with the most purposeful and life-giving question of all, “How is our individual family uniquely designed to build for the Kingdom of God?” Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction to a joyful home1:38 An opening exercise for your family8:00 Pacing — How to maintain forward motion toward the life we want without burning out13:45 What the matrix wants for you and how to come out of it19:00 Dreaming again24:48 Setting family values25:27 What is the uniqueness of YOUR family? 30:00 The regrets of dying31:14 Your family building for the Kingdom of God Show Notes:  Men, registration for The Field Experience Cohort II is now open!Register here: https://www.famousathome.com/offers/6fze43ia Ladies, registration for Tender & Fierce Coaching Cohort II is now open!

The fruit of modern-day parenting, statistically speaking, is an anxious generation. The Surgeon General even said as much of parents in an August 2024 “Advisory on the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Parents.”Why we’re trending in this direction is the focus this season of the podcast. In this episode, we cover another way to defy this cultural imposition by expanding joy capacity. What if “joy” became a metric for what defines your family, and for how you raise your kids? How would your life, and family, look different? As we keep looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the question, “Why are we doing what we are as a family?” this episode is a conversation on cultivating a joyful home.Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction to a joyful home3:55 New coaching cohorts open now5:23 What happens when we grow in joy12:35 How we grow in relational joy23:15 How joy capacity expands slowly over time 29:00 Responsibility, screens, and distractions  Show Notes: Men, registration for The Field Experience Cohort II is now open!

We’re in a series on the 5 shifts families long for today and in this episode we talk about why people are longing for a more simple life. “We’re too busy,” or “There’s not enough time,” is the heart cry of many families today. Sadly, there’s also a ripple effect of the stress we feel as parents that gets passed onto our children. Our kids feel the busyness. As we keep looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the question, “Why are we doing what we are as a family?” this episode is a conversation on the return to simplicity.Time Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:00 The number one greatest parenting struggle today5:35 The two ways we view “time” and how it influences how we live9:00 The contemporary ways we fill our “margins”11:24 What is the filter for how you make decisions?15:28 Practical ways to simplify23:03 Trying new life-giving practices in seasons Show Notes:  Order a copy of the Famous at Home book to put your family center stage.

Do you live in a perpetual state of rest with exhausted moments, or do you find yourself living in a perpetual state of exhaustion with restful moments?  In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. Unfortunately, for many families, a chorus of words seem to ring out of what people today long for, but can’t seem to attain. The word we cover today is “rest.”This episode is the first of 5 familial shifts we’ll be talking about as we continue to ask the question: “Why are we doing what we are as families?”  Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:30 Living in survival mode versus longing for more7:25 What it means to live in “restedness”12:48 How exhaustion keeps us in a state of delayed joy17:55 Internally moving to a base line of rest26:22 Breaking through exhaustion in your marriage28:08 How to give your exhaustion to God in prayer29:47 The Genesis 1 paradigm for living in daily and weekly rest33:08 Practices for a state of restedness Show Notes:  Men, interested in The Field Experience? Sign up for the waitlist: https://www.famousathome.com/thefieldexperienceLadies, interested in a Tender & Fierce Cohort in 2025?  Sign up for waitlist: https://www.famousathome.com/tenderandfierce Download NONAH's brand new single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome The Famous at Home podcast is made possible by listeners like you.

There have been some major societal, socioeconomic, cultural, and technological shifts over the past 150 years that have changed not just family structure, but who our children are becoming. In this episode, we ask the question: Is what culture is giving us right now beneficial for our family? In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. In episode 2, Josh takes a 30,000 foot view of the changes throughout the last 150 years in the Western world and the corresponding changes in family structure and child outcomes. For example, he talks about the generational trend from resourceful to entitled to anxious, and the societal factors at play.Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction3:00 The top regrets people have at the end of their lives4:45 What our children pick up from us in modern Western world8:28 Family structure changes over last 150 years12:08 How socioeconomic changes impacted the family over last 150 years16:17 Changes in how we view children in last 150 years19:16 How changes in religiosity in last 150 years have impacted the family20:05 The effects of technological changes over last 150 years23:08 Is what culture is giving us, beneficial for our family?24:49 What’s next for your family?Show Notes:  Order a copy of the Famous at Home book to put your family center stage.

Whether you realize it or not, you’re living in a matrix that shapes how you think, feel, and live your life. And your family, for better or worse, is along for the ride.  Welcome to Season 3, what we’re calling, Beyond the Matrix. In this episode, we challenge you to ask one question: Why are you doing what you’re doing as a family? More specifically, who, or what, is shaping the decisions you make? Do you know why you’re making the decisions you are? Have you ever thought about flipping things upside down and going against what’s “conventional” for our day and age?  We take a listener question that, though may not be your circumstance, applies to many of us who feel stuck in how we lead our families. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:00 Introduction to Season 3: Beyond the Matrix6:26 The macro and micro “matrixes” that shape your family10:40 Christi describes her “macro matrix”15:30 Josh describes his “macro matrix”18:00 Why are we doing what we’re doing as a family?19:08 How the ladders of society shape today’s family22:54 God redeems our enslavement to a matrix24:40 Listener question: Unhappy wife and mother with two young kids not sure if she should work or stay home29:48 Working toward the version of you that loves best35:18 Sacrifice and inconvenience as part of the journey39:28 How is family being shaped? 41:42 Closing prayer Show Notes: Order a copy of the Famous at Home book to put your family center stage.  Click here: https://amzn.to/3y1jJFzMen, interested in The Field Experience?
