7 Ways to Transform the Heart of Your Family

This is one of our most foundational and transparent episodes. We took the 7 things that have transformed the heart of our family the last number of years and expounded on each of them in a detailed way to help you understand the “why” behind these decisions and how they can change the direction of your family.We certainly don’t expect you to implement all 7 of them today, as this is a yearslong journey. However, find the one that most resonates with you right now. Which of these will most move the needle in your family if you were to implement it today? The only way to bring the heart of your family alive is to take permission and choose to lead differently from what our individualistic and rat-racing culture imposes on you.Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction4:00 Your family as a “living letter”7:00 How we came up with the 7 ways8:02 What helps you show up as the best version of you?14:58 Evaluating the family schedule20:59 How to establish family rhythms that serve your family26:00 Giving kids responsibility35:23 How screen time influences your family and what to do about it43:53 Who are the life-giving people you’re surrounding yourself with?51:07 Your family as a hospitable “living letter” to those around you55:24 Your most useful takeaway for transforming the heart of your family Show Notes: Order a copy of the Famous at Home book to put your family center stage.  Click here: https://amzn.to/3y1jJFz Get a copy of the Technicolor Woman Devotional by Courtney Smallbone.  Click here: https://technicolorwoman.com/products/technicolorwoman Listen to our episode earlier in the year on The Spiritual Development of a Mother and Father.Click here: https://shorturl.at/GRYxA Men, interested in The Field Experience? Sign up for the waitlist: https://www.famousathome.com/thefieldexperience Ladies, interested in a Tender & Fierce Cohort in 2025?

Emotions and the Holy Spirit

Living with a heart fully alive is one of the best gifts you can give your family and pass onto your children. But emotions are complicated. They can be clouded by our circumstances, suppressed in favor of “getting things done,” or ignored to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately, this can easily become our default, especially when certain religious traditions equate emotion with sin.  We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart,” and in episode 5, Josh and Christi discuss how we are to take our emotions to God and partner with the Holy Spirit in them. Are emotions from God? If so, what does He want us to do with them? Can they be a pathway to living a more fulfilled and “lived” life? Listen in as Josh and Christi share how they prayerfully take their emotions to God in prayer, and partner with the Holy Spirit in their everyday lives.Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:18 Season 2 overview2:56 God and our emotions  7:06 The four voices in our lives 9:27 Discerning the voice of our emotions15:00 How emotions lead you back to God and how to listen to the Holy Spirit as Counselor, Comforter, and Guide24:10 Fighting for what’s going on within your heart and taking that back to God in prayer28:26 What we pass onto our kids Show Notes: Men, interested in The Field Experience?

We’re in Season 2 titled “Awakening the Heart.” In episode 4, Josh and Christi explain the nervous system and why its primary purpose in our lives — to protect our connection, belonging, and dignity — can actually shut down the heart.A deeper understanding of how our bodies were created to survive can lead to deeper levels of empathy for yourself and those you love. Josh and Christi tells stories from their own marriage that highlight how the nervous systems puts up guardians around our hearts, but how also how we can become attuned to what happened and resolve it well so that our hearts remain open and alive to all that’s happening within and around us.  Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:21 It’s Christmas time4:26 Introduction to the nervous system6:14 A neurobiological understanding of the heart and nervous system10:21 How the nervous system functions14:35 The ladder of the nervous system20:00 Where the complicated relationship comes into play25:38 How your body gets rid of survival energy30:45 The bottom rung of the nervous system ladder32:18 A biblical application to calming your system and healing your heart38:00 An understanding of stuck “energy” 41:33 Taking the first stepShow Notes: Men, interested in The Field Experience?
