STOP Outsourcing Family Discipleship to the Church w/ Kaleb Saucer and Ellerie Saucer, MA, LPC

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 10:00:00 -0000

👀 Ever wonder what a truly healthy home looks like when no one’s watching? This week, Kaleb and Ellerie Saucer pull back the curtain on discipleship in the everyday chaos: waffles and devotions, tech boundaries that actually work, playful connection, repentance-as-teachable-moment, and the small rhythms that slowly shape a family’s spiritual culture.

What if the most meaningful spiritual formation isn’t happening at church…but at your dinner table, in the car, or during a meltdown? And what would it look like to celebrate process instead of perfection?

How an FBI Chaplain Keeps the Darkness Out of Her Home w/ Rev. Kristen Ellis

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0000

🫂❤️When walking with people through pain or tragic circumstances, inside or outside your home, it can be tempting to feel the need to have something profound to say or an answer to provide, but what if it’s a lot simpler than that?

In this episode, Rev. Kristen Ellis, an FBI Chaplain, shares what it looks like to have a “Ministry of Presence”. We discuss the idea of operating from a place of permission, being invited in to someone’s vulnerable moments, and how simply showing up with empathy and a willing ear can change everything… And coming out of those heavy or chaotic moments, how do we preserve our home from that same heaviness?

Distinct by Design: Recovering the Roles of Husband and Wife

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0000

🤔 What exactly is your role in marriage, and how do you know if you're doing it well? This episode gets real about the quiet pressure so many women feel to “figure it out” while men often inherit a direct mission from the start.

Let’s unpack why the lack of a job description for wives isn’t a curse, but a calling. Are you just getting by, or are you multiplying love, preserving goodness, and discerning strength? What does success in your role even look like? This isn’t your average gender roles convo.

This one’s for the wives asking, “Am I doing a good job?” and the husbands who want to lead with more than just provision.

How to Speak LIFE to Your Husband When All You Want to do is YELL at Him w/ Ann & Dave Wilson

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0000

💬 Could your words be quietly undoing the very prayers you're praying over your marriage? In this raw and deeply practical episode, Adam sits down with Dave and Ann Wilson, chaplains, church leaders, authors, and real-life marriage mentors, to unpack how criticism, even when well-intended, can crush connection.

What happens when a wife realizes her “helpful feedback” feels more like booing from the stands? And what shifts when her husband finally admits, “I don't feel liked”?

If you’ve ever wondered why your encouragement seems to fall flat or how to reignite intimacy without compromising honesty, this conversation will open your eyes and your heart. Are you building your spouse up… or slowly tearing them down? Do you believe your words carry the power to transform your home?

Can Jesus and Therapy Coexist? A Loving Response to Misunderstandings in the Church

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 11:00:00 -0000

💬 What if counseling wasn’t a sign of weak faith… but of holy courage?

In this powerful episode, Adam and Karissa share a deeply personal story that sparked a much-needed conversation: Can Christians trust Jesus and go to therapy? Is medicine unbiblical—or could it be part of the miracle? They unpack the dangerous theology that tells believers to "just pray harder" and reveal the truth about how therapy, when done well, can actually mirror the compassion of Christ. 💛

You’ll walk away challenged and comforted. Could your view of mental health be shaped more by fear than by faith? What if God’s healing isn’t just instant—but intentional, slow, and sacred?

Ever feel like you're the only one wrestling with hard questions in marriage? 😥 You’re not.

What if naming the hard stuff is the first step toward healing it? Could learning a new emotional language change the way you connect? Tune in for real questions from real couples—and honest answers we all need to hear.

Why GOOD Men Keep Watching Porn – and How to BREAK FREE

Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:00:00 -0000

🎯 What if the greatest threat to your marriage wasn’t another person… but a habit hidden in plain sight? Hear Adam pull back the curtain on a devastating epidemic affecting 7 out of 10 Christian men—pornography. It’s not just a “struggle,” it’s a brain-altering, soul-crushing addiction that thrives in secrecy.

So why can’t good men with strong willpower just stop? And how do they actually start to heal? This episode dives into the real reasons men get stuck—and how they can finally get free.

Curious about the science behind porn addiction? Wondering what true healing looks like? Don’t miss the conversation—and don’t go it alone.

If you (or someone you love) are one of the men currently fighting this battle, we have a life-altering opportunity for you: Adam is leading a 6-week Porn Recovery Group starting June 18th, meeting Wednesdays from 11am–12:30pm PST (through July 23rd). This focus group of 6-10 men is designed to give you practical tools that will help you not only find recovery—but stay in recovery. Heal the past. Win the present. Build a future that addiction can’t survive in.

But in the midst of that, something shifted: belief. They unpack how changing your inner dialogue could be the most powerful move you make toward a better future. Are you stuck because you’re failing—or because you’ve actually succeeded and thought that was your ceiling? What if this is just the floor of your next level?

We have counseled many couples through wounds surrounding the church or their pastor. “Church hurt” is a term thrown around pretty loosely, but in this episode we talk about the idea of church hurt from a pastor’s perspective.

We’re taking on a gigantic discussion with a lot of gray area. We don’t know the nuances of your specific situation. Pastor Daniel McKillop comes to the table with wisdom & prayerfulness in preparation for this episode. Listen as we delve into the concept of spiritual authority and the specific situations where it can be abused.

Our Holy DESIRE w/ Dr. Curt Thompson, MD

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 10:00:00 -0000

Desire is not the problem. God gave us (not just married couples) desire. It’s how we choose to honor God with this desire that makes all the difference. Today, we talked to Dr. Curt Thompson, MD and he shared some really interesting and profound insights into desire. It was a deep conversation where he really weaved together an understanding of interpersonal neurobiology & a Christian, biblical worldview of what it means to be human. You want to hear this one!

Healing the Wounds of Fatherlessness w/ John Smithbaker

Tue, 13 Feb 2024 16:33:00 -0000

Did you know that 50% of our country’s children, over 25 million kids under 18, are growing up without a father figure in the home? It’s no coincidence that we find ourselves in a culture that’s at war with men — one that says “women don’t need men”.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Today, we talked to John Smithbaker, the author of Man Enough to Forgive, and the founder of Fathers in the Field. In this episode, we discuss how masculinity is a gift from God, the role of a present father, and how to heal the wounds of an absent father.

Welcome to another ASK episode, where we answer anonymous questions from YOU, our tribe. This anonymous question was submitted during our VIP Q&A lunch at our EROS conference in Indiana.

A+K Receive COUNSELING from Mike Foster - 7 Primal Questions

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 10:00:00 -0000

There are 7 primal questions that affect people’s behavior, decisions, and relationships. Your primal question has to do with your early life. If you experienced deficiency or instability in a particular area, your primal question could be sparked by that. Or, if you experienced an over-abundance or over-affirmation in a particular area, that could be the cause of your primal question. People may make decisions and navigate relationships in a way that forces a ‘yes’ to their primal question, even if it isn’t in their best interest. Tune in to hear a deep dive into all 7 of these questions, and hit the link below to take the free assessment.

ASK episode: Is ABUSE Biblical Grounds for DIVORCE?

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0000

We know that God is a god of marriage, not divorce. But we’ve all wondered: Are there exceptions to this? Are there biblical examples? Should I stay in an abusive, unsafe marriage for the sake of “sticking it out”? 💔 There is a big debate here, so we’re trying to be as careful as possible. We received this anonymous question from a follower via our SPEAK Pipe (linked below). Tune in to hear our response.

What You DIDN'T Know About the SONG OF SOLOMON w/ Kim Moore, Author

Tue, 12 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0000

Kim Moore’s story starts out like many other young women with shame around sex - her wedding night was tough, she didn’t truly understand the biblical WHY for sex, and was rejected when she sought help.

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

She decided early on that God wanted MORE for her sex life, and that she would find the answers in His word. Her research has helped couples of all ages achieve fulfilling, God-honoring intimacy in their marriage. Tune in for some fun facts you may not have known about the Song of Solomon.

ASK Episode: What if I had SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE as a Christian?

Tue, 05 Sep 2023 09:00:00 -0000

We messed up… Does God still see us as pure?

♥️

This week, we received an anonymous question from a gal who recently got engaged. Her fiancé has had sexual relations in the past and she shared that they had crossed this boundary together as well.

♥️

Her question goes something along the lines of this:

After having sought forgiveness and intending not to cross this line again, how could I see myself as PURE walking into marriage after already crossing this line?

♥️

Spoiler alert: God forgives and forgets. Tune in to hear our reply!

Time to celebrate 🎆FREEDOM🎆….. in the bedroom. 🛏

That’s right! There are so many issues we see in couples that act as barriers to an amazing, adventurous sex life.

It’s time to experience FREEDOM in the bedroom.

In this episode, we answer touchy questions like:

What does the bible say about sex?

Is masturbation ok for Christian couples?

Marriage advice on intimacy?

What is and isn’t allowed in bed?

What does the Bible say about anal sex?

What can you do and what can’t you do in intercourse as a Christian?

Christian sex dos and don’ts.

From a biblical perspective, what can partners do and not do sexually?

What if we look at porn together?

How to Deal with Intrusive Thoughts During Sex (ASK episode)

We’re back with another ASK episode! These are episodes where we answer YOUR questions.

♥️

This week, we’re answering a question we received about intrusive thoughts during sex. This is actually quite common! It can be extreme things like someone else’s face flashing into your mind during sex, or the less extreme, like remembering you forgot to turn on the dishwasher.

♥️

Either way, intrusive thoughts are a distraction from the connection and intimacy you should be experiencing during sex. Does an intrusive thought always have to lead to sin? Tune in as we talk about practical ways to dismiss these thoughts!

What is a WOMAN? A Bone to Pick with Matt Walsh

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:31:26 -0000

Have you seen the documentary by Matt Walsh called What is a Woman? If you haven’t, you should, because it’s amazing! 💯

The message of the documentary is awesome, and we definitely recommend it. However, he says something that we couldn’t disagree with more.

“Give my son a BB gun, and that’s just about all the emotional support he needs. My daughter on the other hand…” - Matt Walsh, What is a Woman

❌ Wrong. Your sons AND your daughters need emotional support. These boys that don’t get a lot of emotional support turn into men with very low emotional intelligence - which is difficult when they’re married to emotional women! Tune into this episode to hear the effects of this upbringing and how we can change this.

How a FEMINIST Mindset Can Damage a Marriage w/ Anneliese from Feminine not Feminist

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Have you ever heard of, or even been tempted to believe the lies of our culture that say a feminist mindset is the correct mindset in which to live our lives?

Don’t get us wrong - we are NOT advocates of discrimination. We are all about voting rights, women holding a high position at a company, etc. We ARE advocates of recognizing the beautiful value that both the man and woman bring to a marriage, and how that value is different! It’s not about one being better or worse. It’s not about power. It’s about how God designed the man and the woman to bring different values to the table. Tune in to this episode as we interview Anneliese from ‘Feminine not Feminist.” 💁🏼‍♀️

Jesus and my GENDER w/ Pastor Dale Partridge

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 12:00:00 -0000

Dear young married PARENT,

We live in a MUCH different world than even a decade ago! We all have that deep desire to ground our children in TRUTH and protect them from the world’s ideas & agenda. But we have those questions: How do I approach this in a way that it STICKS? When do I start talking about this? How often should I talk about this?

We get it. We are right there with you. That’s why we interviewed Pastor Dale Partridge on the topic “Jesus and My Gender.” Tune in as he answers some of the questions we parents may have about approaching this topic with our kiddos. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
