As a parent, you lead your children every single day. This episode launches a 4-week podcast series specific to becoming an emotionally healthy leader. To kick off the series, Josh and Christi talk about how to show up as a leader in your home.

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about:

  • How we cultivate the environment of our home and why our kids receive what’s in that environment.
  • How we can lead with certainty, confidence, and conviction.
  • What it means to be called to go first and set the example (i.e., wake up earlier, go to bed later, respond and not react, and work without grumbling.)

Show Notes:

So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in our bed at the end of day failing to reflect on what went right. Instead, we silently beat ourselves up. 
We feel ashamed for speaking to our spouse the way we did. 
We feel scared about a health issue we can’t figure out. 
We feel lonely in our work.
We feel inadequate for not being able to fix the faucet. 
We feel exasperated by our kids.
We feel sad the day didn’t go as planned. 
Then, we fall asleep. 
No wonder we wake up uninspired. We meditate on what’s not working.
Death by a thousand cuts. 
Somewhere along the way, just like the Israelites, we forget. We forget to heed the age-old wisdom of meditating on the Word both day and night, so that we may be careful to do everything written in it, and be prosperous (Joshua 1:8).
When we don’t reflect on our day through God’s eyes, we wake up the next morning trying to keep going on our own will. 
Reflection awakens the soul. Instead of stuffing the ugly, meditating on the bad, and ignoring the good, surrender all of it to God and filter daily circumstances through what His Word says. When you do this you notice the moments that move your soul—the courageous yeses to what connect, inspire, and resurrect the world around us. Life by a thousand brave yeses.

Ever had your kids ask you a question you never th Ever had your kids ask you a question you never thought of before and were left speechless in how to answer? What makes those questions even more intimidating is when they’re questions about the Bible. It’s no wonder discipling our kids can feel overwhelming. But what if you don’t need to know all of the answers? 
In this week’s episode, @joshua.straub and @christistraub talk about the ways we can resource our kids in not only looking for answers to their questions, but also falling more in love with Jesus. They also talk about how their new devotional, 10 Days of the Easter Story: A Family Experience Through the Feelings of Holy Week, is structured and written as a framework for getting our kids engaged in the stories of Scripture.
