Are men and women truly that far apart in how they view life and matters of the heart so much so that finding common ground feels impossible? We’ve all heard the saying: women are from Venus and men are from Mars; but is that really the full story?

In this episode, guest David Sanders, a United States Navy veteran with 45 years of combined military service and veteran services experience, offers practical, common-sense insights on building healthier relationships between men and women. Through his seasoned lens, David shares thoughtful observations, candid perspectives, and actionable tips on how men and women can better understand and strengthen their connections.

As the world prepares to celebrate “I Love You Day” (which, in truth, should be celebrated every day), David and host Jackie Boyd engage in an enlightening and honest conversation about how men view relationships. David also breaks down his top three relationship builders and top three relationship destroyers, based on his experience and perspective.

Be sure to tune in for meaningful dialogue and practical insight that just might help us all love better, communicate clearer, and build stronger relationships.

WHEN COMPASSION MEETS CONFLICT

In sports, winners get the glory. No matter how well you play, if you don’t win, you’re often overlooked. But sometimes the real story isn’t found on the scoreboard. We all know a single point can decide a game; one point ahead is victory, one point short is heartbreak, even after a magnificent performance.

That was the reality following the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2026 playoff loss, when one reporter chose humanity over routine. Veteran Jacksonville Free Press journalist and host of #LynnandFriends, Lynette Lynn Jones followed her heart in a moment when a coach and a city were carrying the weight of a tough defeat. Instead of leading with questions, she led with compassion.

Her decision sparked criticism and raised an important conversation about the balance between empathy and professional protocol in sports journalism.

In this powerful Season Two premiere of the TRUST, Then Know, The Jackie Boyd Podcast, Lynn Jones takes us inside that emotional press conference moment, when instinct, kindness, and compassion spoke louder than policy. Together, we explore why simple encouragement can feel out of place in competitive spaces and whether there’s room for more humanity in sports.

We also honor Black History Month, as this meaningful conversation was recorded at one of Jacksonville’s most historic institutions, the home of the Jacksonville Free Press.

If you appreciate authenticity, heart, and “keep-it-real” conversations, this episode with Lynn Jones - one of the most genuine and compassionate voices you’ll ever hear - is one you don’t want to miss.

The Psychology of Discipline | Featuring Dr. Janette Edwards

Why is it so hard to stick with the very things we say we want? From abandoned goals to broken resolutions, so many of us struggle to stay consistent — and end up blaming ourselves in the process. In this powerful and insightful episode, we take a deeper look at what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Joining the conversation is Dr. Janette Edwards, Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who brings a rich clinical and spiritual perspective to the science behind discipline. Together, we explore the psychological and emotional factors that affect follow-through, motivation, and long-term change. Dr. Edwards breaks down how our brains, past experiences, and even stress responses play a role in why discipline can feel so difficult.

But this episode goes beyond productivity hacks and willpower. Dr. Edwards also speaks to the importance of grace, forgiveness, and understanding our shared human frailty. If you’ve ever been hard on yourself — or others — for falling short, this conversation offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective on growth, healing, and extending the same patience to others that we so desperately need ourselves.

This episode is for anyone who: starts strong but struggles to stay consistent; feels frustrated with their lack of follow-through; wants a healthier, more compassionate view of discipline; is learning how to give themselves — and others — grace.

Tune in for a conversation that blends science, self-awareness, and spirit.
