  • Why We've Lost Our Joy (And Where To Find It)

    Why We've Lost Our Joy (And Where To Find It)
    Oct 8 2026
    For some reason, we inherently believe that joy is a byproduct of success. Yet, we finish the project, celebrate for five minutes, and move on to the next thing, waking up one day confused as to why the joy didn't seem to follow.

    In this epsiode, Dr. Josh shares why so many leaders and parents lose joy, and what joy really is: not a feeling or a byproduct of success, but a present-tense experience rooted in our trust in God. Where happiness depends on circumstances; joy depends on position.

    Here are some takeaways and highlights:
    • Ask: does my family experience me as proud of what they do, or delighted that they exist?
    • Screens keep us in the left brain. Relational joy lives in the right brain.
    • Gratitude has to be experienced, not just listed.
    • Your calendar is discipling you. What is it teaching you about joy?
    • How and why God scheduled joy.

  • Go Analog: Small Shifts for a More Present Life

    Go Analog: Small Shifts for a More Present Life
    Oct 1 2026
    When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system?

    In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices.

    Here are some highlights:
    • Anything you can't fast from owns you.
    • Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.
    • Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.
    • Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)
    • Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.
    • Use screens to create, not just consume.
    • God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.

  • The 15-Minute Habit That Will Change Your Marriage

    The 15-Minute Habit That Will Change Your Marriage
    Sep 22 2026
    What if you could have a rock-solid marriage in just 15 minutes a day? This is not a gimmick.

    Emotional disconnection rarely happens all at once. It happens through small, subtle shifts as work, kids, schedules, and the demands of life slowly pull us away from each other.

    In this episode, Dr. Josh shares the fundamental exercise he's seen help marriages grow by leaps and bounds. It's a simple daily practice he calls the 15-Minute Exercise.

    You’ll learn:
    • The simple daily question every couple can ask each other
    • Why your spouse is a person to love, not a problem to solve
    • The three most powerful words to transform a difficult conversation
    • How to listen without fixing, defending, or becoming defensive
    • How this simple practice can become a lifestyle rather than another item on your to-do list
    Your marriage doesn’t always need a major overhaul. Sometimes it needs a two-degree shift.
